"parent page" usage

[Ampersand]

Selecting a parent page from a dropdown list in "page options" results in nice indenting in "all pages" list. But wiki says it also affects url. Has anyone noticed any url changes with parent page selected? Asking for I have not.

the url only changes when you use fancy urls.

The default url rewrite looks like this for a page with a parent looks like this:

Code:

domain.com/parent-slug/current-page-slug

[Ampersand]

After switching fancy URLs on and off do you need to reset "parent page" or is the selected "parent page" kept among "page options"?

[ccagle8]

it's kept in the page options

the url only changes when you use fancy urls.

The default url rewrite looks like this for a page with a parent looks like this:

Code:

domain.com/parent-slug/current-page-slug

Yes, and after testing it looks in facts as

Code:

domain.com/parent-slug/current-page-slug
domain.com/current-page-slug

i.e. both URLs may be used to access a page with a parent.

Is there any way to have to different pages with URLs like

Code:

friends.com/daisy and
friends.com/flowers/daisy

?
At the moment you can have only

Code:

friends.com/daisy and
friends.com/flowers/daisyflower

and if flower is a parent of daisyflower search engine indexes in fact 3 pages with 2 different contents:
1.friends.com/daisyflower
1.friends.com/flowers/daisyflower
2.friends.com/daisy

you have all freedom to define your rewrite-rules, but you must study these rules yourself ;=)

rewrite_mod_rules are quite abstract and complex, so maybe somebody of us can help you out, otherwise you have to find out yourself

a tutorial for example is here: http://www.easymodrewrite.com/

How to give a 3rd parameter in the URL?

instead of "friends.com/flowers/daisyflower"

I'd like to have an extra category:

"friends.com/biology/flowers/daisyflower"

I tried %parent%/%parent%/%slug%/ under "Custom Permalink Structure" without success.

Any help appreciated.

Get Simple only supports a 2 level url structure, that is %parent% and %slug%, however, the I18N plugin allows for unlimited hierarchical menu levels BUT the url structure will always be only two levels deep.

This is one of the only drawbacks to get simple IMHO.

%parent%/%parent%/%slug%/ This will most likely only list the page parent twice. I have also used custom I18N mod rewrite rules to add a language code to the URL such as domain.com/en

That sounds like a need for a plugin or workaround!
