Could you tell me the routine for making SEO friendly URL's
instead of
http://www.myurl.org.uk/servicesDetail.php?5
we would like
http://www.myurl.org.uk/cmsb/titlefield.php.

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
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!
