SEO friendly URL's

Hi Charles,

The simplest SEO urls can be done by adding this option to your viewer code:
'useSeoUrls' => true,

And then setting a "filename field" under Admin > Section Editors > Viewer Urls

Then you'll get urls like this:
http://www.myurl.org.uk/servicesDetail.php/your-title-here-5/

Note that SEO urls look like subdirectories to the browser and you need to use absolute urls (starting with http:// or /) for your links or you'll get broken links.

Hope that helps!

Hi Dave

Note that SEO urls look like subdirectories to the browser and you need to use absolute urls (starting with http:// or /) for your links or you'll get broken links.

Could you expand on this how would this work with a listing/detail page scenario? We tried all the above and it worked but it broke the link to the CSS etc. the link was '_link' type php echo as in the cmsb code.

Hi Charles,

CMS Builder stores the urls to the section viewers under: Admin > Section Editors > Viewer Urls. You'll need to update those urls to start with / or http://.

Same thing with your css files. You'll need to link to them starting with / or http://.

It's the same as if you had an html file in a subdirectory. You need to link "up" to files in the root with http:// or / or ../ (to go up one directory).

Hope that helps!
