Thumbs up Re: Changing URLs

Hi GRAM,

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply. I sincerely appreciate the time and effort you have put in.

Based on your suggesitons and info > with some understanding of how the URL creation works in Mambo, I have managed to get closer to a solution.

I changed almost all menu links to URLs and tried to remove the itemid in each case. However the frontpage link it seems has to be
http://example.com/frontpage/Itemid,1/. Could not get http://example.com/frontpage/ or anything else to work.

Strangely http://example.com/frontpage only works till http://example.com/frontpage/Itemid,1/ is also present in the menu. Remove http://example.com/frontpage/Itemid,1/ and http://example.com/frontpage also bombs.

So ItemId 1 was forced on me by the frontpage link and itemid 0 was forced because of some TOCs and category and section links. Even if I state the URL to be http://example.com/content/blogcategory/1/ it seems to work as if the itemid is 0.

So my current fix is that I have created copies of every alias in Xaneon Alias Manager. So dfor example, I have now mapped
www.example.com/content/view/111 , content/view/111/0/ and content/view/111/1/ to the same alias.

This appriach is covering most pages and cases yet there are some links missed.

However I am far better off than earlier.

My menu aliases however have working . So http://example.com/content/blogcategory/1/ is supposed to appear as http://example.com/news/ and that mapping is very much present in Alais Manager and if I say http://example.com/news, I get the xorrect page. But by default the link appears as http://example.com/content/blogcategory/1/ and not http://example.com/news. Not sure why these aliases have stopped working.

thanks,
harshad
