Dumb question on path configuration

John Blossom	Thursday 22 May 2003 3:43:21 am I have been working with Marlabs to get EZ3 configured, with some issues, unfortunately. The way that it is configured currently I get ugly URLs, not the nicely formed URLs that I see on your own site and other sites. for example, from my root (http://www.edgeleader.com), if I click on a folder named "testfold" I get a URL: http://www.edgeleader.com/user/content/view/full/19/?PHPSESSID=d1218374ba86ab312b299fb119262b4d instead of something like: http://www.edgeleader.com/content/testfold How do I configure EZ3 to do this properly? Related question: do I HAVE to have the additional "geek" layers show up in my URLs when all I want my users to see is the natural progression of folders, such as, in this example: http://www.edgeleader.com/testfold. Many Thanks, John Blossom

By entering the path in the url and ending it # with a .html you will get the correct node. NodeTranslator=enabled 2. give the links like this : <a href={$node.url_alias\|ezurl}>link</a> thats it !

Oddly (...??), when I went to check the site.ini file, the parameters that you mentioned were indeed set the way that you had suggested, and the URLs were looking a little more nominal. now a test foleder off of the root directory comes up: http://www.edgeleader.com/user/content/view/full/19/ I tried your snip of code in the template, but it only refers to the current node. I will dig more on this to educate myself, but the simple thing I'm trying to do is to have a template automatically build an index of folders that refers to the true folder structure via folder aliases. Best, John Blossom

Hi ..

1. modify siti.ini

[URLTranslator]
# Use either enabled or disabled
Translation=enabled
# Enable this if you want to percieve the url as a path element
# for the node tree. By entering the path in the url and ending it
# with a .html you will get the correct node.
NodeTranslator=enabled

2. give the links like this :
<a href={$node.url_alias|ezurl}>link</a>

thats it !

Selmah,

Thanks for your reply. Oddly (...??), when I went to check the site.ini file, the parameters that you mentioned were indeed set the way that you had suggested, and the URLs were looking a little more nominal. now a test foleder off of the root directory comes up:
http://www.edgeleader.com/user/content/view/full/19/

I tried your snip of code in the template, but it only refers to the current node. I will dig more on this to educate myself, but the simple thing I'm trying to do is to have a template automatically build an index of folders that refers to the true folder structure via folder aliases.
