Pretty URL strange behaviour
Permalink
Hey guys,
I searched the forum for few hours now and cannot find an answer to this so please help a beginner to master this nice product.
I have enabled pretty URL in Dashboard / ...
I have copied the indicated mod_rewrite code in .htaccess
Now:
I have a page named "tub", place directly under the home page in sitemap.
I need this page to appear in the browser when this link is requested:
http://mysite/bath/tub
For this I have added in the Additional Page URL (in the Page Properties -> Page Path and Location) a "/bath/tub" alias, whilst the canonical one is "tub".
Now, when I enterhttp://mysite/bath/tub it goes to the desired page BUT the address in the browser address bar switches tohttp://mysite/tub. So I am loosing the sudirectory info which I need to keep for the visitors.
How can I fix this??
Alternatively, how can I create subdirectories in the site map (or site tree). If you look at this help dochttp://www.concrete5.org/documentation/general-topics/site-tree/)... it shows that there are some subdir icons that I don't have at all in my sitemap.
How can I create this type of subdirs? (I know that if I'm able to create subdirs then the canonical URL will have bath/tub format so my problem is solved.)
TIA,
Lian

Hey,
Thanks for the fast reply.
I don't think page alias is what I need. But anyway, as I said, in the sitemap I don't have any directory or subdirectory; so I cannot drag it anywhere. How can I create new direcory/subdirectory?
Thanks again,
Lian

Directories are just pages.
If you don't want anything to be at that page you can just create a blank page and use an addon to redirect to the child page
This addon can do that

you have to install this addon first to use it

Thank you very much, got it now!
Awesome. Welcome to the concrete5 community.
If you go in the Dashboard->Sitemap you can drag the tub page into a different directory and select "Alias" and then you will have the same page in two different places.
