URL structure on Dyanmic Content pages for Articles

Asked by Fuze1 7 months ago Last activity 7 months ago

Hi,

I'm using Dynamic Content for my articles which is working well from a design point of view, however, the URLs are not formatted correctly. I have the following menus setup in the backend:

NEWS (Article index page)
-> ARTICLES (Article detail page)

So the URL should display as: 

domain.co.uk/news/articles/article-alias-here

Instead, its displaying as: 

domain.co.uk/component/content/article/article-alias-here?catid=8

What do I need to change for the URL to display as domain.co.uk/news/articles/article-alias-here? (And ideally remove the category id)?

Thanks

I managed to resolve this by adding a Category List menu item (hidden) under the "NEWS" parent menu. I set the alias on the category list to "articles" and changed the alias on the article detail page to something else.

So a total of three menu items:

  • NEWS (Article index page) - /news/
    • ARTICLES (Article detail page - Hidden) /anything/
    • LIST (Category List - Hidden) /articles/

My URL's now dispaly as follows:
domain.co.uk/news/articles/article-alias-here
