+ | |||
+ | GetSimple allows you to create better looking, and more SEO friendly URLs. In order for this feature to work, your server needs to have the **mod_rewrite** module installed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You also have the ability to edit the structure of the URLs by setting a **Custom Permalink Structure**. Certain custom structures need the **mod_rewrite** module, but not all. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Custom Permalink Structure ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Create custom permalinks via the **Settings** tab in your GetSimple installation. Permalinks help define the URL structure of your site. If you put a value in the **Custom Permalink Structure** input box, your **FancyURL** setting may be overridden by the string you put in. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The default URL structure for **"FancyURLs" ON** is: | ||
+ | ''%parent%/%slug%/'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The default URL structure for **"FancyURLs" OFF** is: | ||
+ | ''index.php?id=%slug%'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Syntax === | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | The two tags to build your custom permalink are ''%parent%'' and ''%slug%'' | ||
+ | Do not use a beginning slash | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Examples === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Replace subdirectory with your own virtual directory - //this folder does not need to exist//: | ||
+ | <code>subdirectory/%parent%/%slug%/</code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Removes the ''index.php'' from URL. This can be done without Fancy URL's turned on: | ||
+ | <code>?id=%slug%</code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Adding .html, .htm or .php extension to URLs === | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you want to add an extension (''.html'', ''.htm'' or ''.php'') to your website's pages, you first need turn on **Use Fancy URLs**, then set the **Custom Permalink Structure** to (example for pages that will end in ''.html''): | ||
+ | <code>%slug%.html</code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Next, you need to make a small change to your root level ''.htaccess'' file. Change the Rewrite Rule to this: | ||
+ | <code>RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+).html$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]</code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | NOTE: Change ''.html'' to ''.php'' (or ''.htm'') in both the Rewrite Rule above and the permalink structure, if you are using that extension instead. | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====User Profile===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This section of **Settings** allows you to change settings particular to the logged in user. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:how_to:usersettings.png|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Username** - Cannot be changed as of GS 3.0. This is the login username. | ||
+ | * **Email Address** - This is the email address of the logged in user. It is used primarily with the //Reset Password// feature and by some "contact us" plugins. | ||
+ | * **Local Timezone** - This helps show you the correct time that files have been created. | ||
+ | * **Language** - This changes the [[:languages|language of the backend]] of the site. You can download additional languages from [[http://get-simple.info/extend/|Extend]]. | ||
+ | * **Enable the HTML Editor** - Enables the [[how_to:wysiwyg_editor|WYSIWYG editor]] within the page editor. | ||
+ | * **New Password / Confirm Password** - Only fill in these fields if you want to change your password. Leaving this blank and clicking "Save" leaves your password as-is. | ||
