Getting Clean URLs for News
Posted: Thu Aug 31, 2006 8:19 pm
Now, I have just solved the problem that some people might have with getting rid of the "index.php/" in the URL for their news.
The steps are as follows:
1. Follow all the steps outlined here: http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... retty_URLs
2. Go to "Global Settings" hit, "Clear Cache"
3. Go into config.php and edit your "url settings" to look like this:
4. Go back to "Global Settings" click "Clear Cache" again
Congratulations! You now have "domain.com/news/1/15" as a URL.

Code: Select all

#URL Settings
#------------
#Show mod_rewrite URLs in the menu?
$config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = true;
#Extension to use if you're using mod_rewrite for pretty URLs.
$config['page_extension'] = '/';
#If you don't use mod_rewrite, then would you like to use the built-in
#pretty url mechanism? This will not work with IIS and the {metadata} tag
#should be in all of your templates before enabling.
$config['internal_pretty_urls'] = false; <--- MOST IMPORTANT FOR CLEAN NEWS URLS!!!!
#If you're using the internal pretty url mechanism or mod_rewrite, would you like to
#show urls in their hierarchy? (ex. http://www.mysite.com/parent/parent/childpage)
$config['use_hierarchy'] = true;
#If using none of the above options, what should we be using for the query string
#variable? (ex. http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=somecontent)
$config['query_var'] = 'page';
Congratulations! You now have "domain.com/news/1/15" as a URL.
