Pages - categories block - friendly URL

Featured Replies

Posted

Dear all,

I was asked from client support tickets to post my request here:

In pages is it possible to add an categories menu block - at the bottom is a link with "show all categories

When you click on it - the url is not set as friendly url - i get instead:

URL.com/pages/?show=categories


Could somebody tell me please what is needed "real url" and what would be the correct "friendly URL" to get:

URL.com/pages/categories

 

Thanks in advance & regards,

mat

There is no other option as far as I know. Otherwise the link would of course use it. If you set your database homepage to show categories, then you don’t need that URL. The category listing will be visible under /yourPage/.

Thanks for your idea - but i would like to have the records shown as articles with some modified templates to get a modern and not forum like style

 

Ticket support team told that is a logical addition and it may be considered here - i tried with some urls but no effect :no:

Normally it should work with the friendly url feature in ACP/system -  but i do not know which is the correct app, module name & which controller this block use in background :question:

in the real url it must be something like:

/index.php?app=pages (or core or smilar)&module=pages (or core or smilar)&controller=browse&do (or other controller)=categories

at the friendly url must be also something between:

URL/...?.../categories

I don’t think you can use the friendly URL system in the ACP in the way you ask. The call is “?show=categories” – that’s it. There is no other URL to call for the override.

If it isn’t possible to begin with, what kind of help do you expect?

In addition, what is your problem with the current URL anyway?
