cleaning nice urls

Mark Marsiglio	Friday 18 February 2005 12:47:48 pm I have a user who deleted a page, then added a new one to replace it (with the same name). We have nice urls, and the former url was /about_us/activity . When he deleted that and added the new page, the new one's URL is about_us/activity__1 Does anyone know how to affect this name, and how to change it back to the original? I suppose I could try to use a redirect, but it would be cleaner if we could just change the page somehow to give it a clean url. I will make sure the user knows not to delete and re-add pages in the future! Thanks Mark http://www.thinkcreative.com Turning Ideas Into Strategic Solutions

The solution I have found to this 'side affect' had been to ... - rename the object to something unique (totally different) - then (again) rename the object to something unique (what i want it to be called) I just had to make sure I wasn't renaming the object to anything another object was named in the same container (folder).

Greetings Mark,

I personally have encountered this 'side affect' from moving / renaming like named objects.

The solution I have found to this 'side affect' had been to ...
- rename the object to something unique (totally different)
- then (again) rename the object to something unique (what i want it to be called)

I just had to make sure I wasn't renaming the object to anything another object was named in the same container (folder).

Happy Hacking
