sotrix Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Hello. I can't figure out how to view database records. There's a Database with different Categories and each Category has various Records. Shouldn't the link to view a Record be domain.com/database/category/record? When I type this in the site automatically redirects me back to domain.com/database/category/ The text preceding the Custom URL field for each record is domain.com/page/{page}/{category}/ Why is /page/{page}/ there and how do I get rid of it? Can someone more knowledgeable help me out? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Database records are usually accessed by clicking the link in the database category listing. For example: https://invisioncommunity.com/news/product-updates/ /news/ is the page, /product-updates/ is the category, and a record there might be: https://invisioncommunity.com/news/product-updates/welcome-to-invision-community-44-beta-r1124/ 51 minutes ago, sotrix said: The text preceding the Custom URL field for each record is domain.com/page/{page}/{category}/ I wouldn‘t mind that output in the ACP. The URL customization feature only touches the URL slug of the record itself. So to use the previous example, instead of: “welcome-to-invision-community-44-beta-r1124” they could shortened it to “44-beta” for example. So an URL slug different from the title and without the record id. You can’t change anything else about the URL, so don’t worry about this /page/{page} stuff.

sotrix Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 I think I figured out what my problem is. I created Pages myself for every Category, with the same exact names as each Category. If I rename these Pages to something else, all Record links work perfectly. But then going to domain.com/database/category/ shows an IPS generated listing of all Records in the category. I need domain.com/database/category/ to show my own HTML page where I have links to the Records formatted and organized exactly like I want. But if I make such a Page, all the Record links stop working. Hope that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 A Pages database lives on exactly one page. You can link in to this page however in different ways (custom links, blocks with record feeds …) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotrix Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 System logically goes /database/category/record I had a folder with the same name as the database and pages inside with the same names as my categories. /folder/page/record does not work. Lesson learned, issue resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
