- | ====== 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 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. |
