SEO and extra pages

[Isje]

Hi,

I am using the SEO module and I noticed that extra pages appear in this way:
../page/x.html (x=id)

Is there a way to display the page title instead of id number?

Thanks

You could do mod_rewrites on these urls in your .htaccess . For example,

RewriteRule ^weather-france\.htm$ page/16.html [NC]


Bright sunshine by the way and 32C

Hi, I tried this, but it doesn't work. I added the line

RewriteRule ^faq\.htm$ page/7.html [NC] (7 is my faq page)

But nothing changed...

Here good weather as well

You have got this haven't you before in the htaccess file?

RewriteRule ^page/([0-9]+)\.html$ pages.php?page=$1 [NC]

Then the line I gave you; make it html rather than just htm.

RewriteRule ^weather-france\.htm$ page/16.html [NC]

Yes, I have that before in the htaccess file, but it still shows page/7.html

And how are you getting to this page 7. Through links in your site or are you just trying to type it in the address bar of your browser? If you do the latter it will not change. It is a rewrite not a redirect.

Also (not sure in 4.1x), it was necessary to have this in the config file of the SEO module. I don't use this module in 4.1 so this may or may not be the case.

"'(?<!/)".URL."/pages.php\?page=([a-zA-Z0-9]*)'",

I'm getting to this page through other links in my site.

As for the code, do you mean I paste the code below as it is in the config.php file?

Thanks again

"'(?<!/)".URL."/pages.php\?page=([a-zA-Z0-9]*)'",

Yes paste it in if the module still works this way.

But then after visiting your site you might like to try and make the link to your faq page like this

/pages.php?page=7

See if that rewrites.

Hi,

I think I know what the problem was: I should have adjusted the links in the pages linking to the extra page to /faq.html instead of leaving it /pages.php?page=7

So it was, as you mentioned, like pasting the URL into the browser That's why it didn't work.

Sorry for this, and thanks for your help

Any ideas?

Thanks
