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:

subdirectory/%parent%/%slug%/

Removes the index.php from URL. This can be done without Fancy URL's turned on:

?id=%slug%

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):

%slug%.html

Next, you need to make a small change to your root level .htaccess file. Change the Rewrite Rule to this:

RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)\.html$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]

NOTE: Change .html to .php (or .htm) in both the Rewrite Rule above and the permalink structure, if you are using that extension instead.
