friendly_alias_urls¶

Name: Use Friendly URL Aliases Type: Yes/No Default: No

Turns on friendly URLs, which generate SEO-friendly URL mappings for your Resources. The URL map is determined by the Resource's place in the site tree, and its "alias" field.

For example, a Resource with alias 'blog' and a Content Type of "HTML" will be rendered as www.mysite.com/blog.html if it's not a container. If the blog Resource was under another Resource with an alias of 'test', then the blog Resource's URL would be:

www.mysite.com/test/blog.html

This allows for completely customizable and automatically built SEO-friendly URLs.

To get this fully working, there are some extra steps involved. Please refer to Using Friendly URLs.
