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 

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 

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. 

@ IPS TEAM 

Could here somebody of the team kindly assist with this friendly url request ?

Thank you

 

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?
