phpwcms Support Forum

I've seen that somehow phpwcms can turn:

index.php?id=8,15,0,0,1,0

into:

index.php?alias

But there seems to be NO DOCUMENTATION on how to do this or any option in the article section to create the "alias."

Can someone please explain this simply and to the point?

Please do NOT tell me to do a search on it here. I can't find it. I've seen some other threads here where someone needed the info, and the only response was "go search on SEO URLs" (which brings up nothing)...that particular guy got so frustrated he went off to use another CMS.

If there is a thread where this has already been covered, then please provide the direct link.

Thank you in advance.

Create/Edit a page and enter in the field "Alias" the name of site.
Then it will be index.php?name

Ahhhh....OK....I see that it will do this for the categories...but is there a way to do this for individual articles?

Thanks for the quick response.

Hi,

but is there a way to do this for individual articles?

at this time: NO.

Hi Stephanie,

Flip-flop's right...
no way to alias individual articles atm.

But rewrite is a way to create better SEO urls - There is a setting in conf.inc.php to turn this on ( 1 ) - rewrites to 1.2.3.4.5.6.phtml (example only)
Pappnase has a great how-to site for wcms

Welcome to the forums.

in additional for use rewrite-URL you also have to rename _.htaccess to .htaccess - maybe you must edit .htacces - works on Apache only
