// load detail record from 'announcements'
list($announcementsRecords, $announcementsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'announcements',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(0), // If no record # is specified then latest record is shown
'loadUploads' => true,
'allowSearch' => false,
'limit' => '1',
));
$detailRecord = @$announcementsRecords[0]; // get first record
list($announcementsRecords, $announcementsMetaData) = getRecords(array(

This page works:
https://www.website.com/announcements.php
This search works
https://www.website.com/announcements.php?1
This permalink works:
https://www.website.com/announcements
This does not work:
https://www.website.com/announcements?1
Which makes sense, I guess. Nothing is telling the browser if the ?1 is simply part of the announcements name.
How do you handle permalinks and a _link for a viewer? Is there a way to get the .php out of there for consistency?

Try https://www.website.com/announcements/?1

Ah, I see. Thanks Tim.
So that's like another folder which breaks all of my relative paths. I could fix it but I guess I actually prefer the .php in this case, unless there is another way.
I noticed in the plugin now that you mention it, to the right of the permalink field is a slash as if one would already be included. I don't know what that means, being there. It seems if I did want to do what you are describing, I couldn't just ad a slash to the permalink field to make this auto happen. I guess that means I would have to do something like this on my pages?
<a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $record['_link'] ?>/</a> //added a slashBy rez - November 5, 2021 - edited: November 5, 2021
wait... no, that wouldn't work. That would make the slash at the end, after the num. How do you do this to auto include it?

Hi Rez,
Broadly speaking a URL in the form "https://www.website.com/announcements?1" can work, but it does depend a bit on what you're trying to do, and how you've set things up.
Could you let me know what happens when you go to "https://www.website.com/announcements?1" - e.g. is there an error, is it showing the wrong content, etc.? Also, how did you configure your permalinks plugin to get the "/announcements" permalink working?
Thanks,
