====== 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 [[pretty_urls|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 to set the **Custom Permalink Structure** to (example for ''.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.
