Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
NatanPL Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Hello,my question is if there is a possibility to not have in every page filename a "/" at the end of URL. I like to set up .html in the filename at the end and as you can imagine whenever i enter the page i've added i see in a browser URL: www.mypage.com/articles.html/ instead of www.mypage.com/articles.html.Another question is if there is a setting for Friendly URL's that allows me to set camelcase URLs (ex. a page with URL www.mypage.com/Best-Articles.html). Actually whenever i try to save a page with CamelCase URLs it changes my url to lower case.
asigno Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 It's best practice to have consistent lower case characters in URLs, especially as some servers are case sensitive. Also it'd actually be preferable not to have .html at all, why does the file type matter to a user?What happens if you decide to make a page a parent page and it then needs to be a folder? If it's just /page/ it can then have a child page e.g. /page/child/ and no need for redirects etc. This is also far better from a search engine perspective.
NatanPL Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 I know the negative aspects of using camel case URLs or those with end of .html, but I wanted to know whether it is possible to achieve such an effect in the settings or with minor changes to the code. I need this because I want to change my old CMS of my website to IPS Pages. The website is indexed with camel case URLs. I don't wanna use redirections from old URL's to new one or something like this. I need it to stay as it is but with new code behind the website.
