Friendly URLs

Use friendly, easy-to-remember URLs for pages

The "Friendly URLs" feature allows you to associate a "short URL" to a page and is typically used to create URLs for printed material and other external communication where a short URL like http://users.c1.orckestra.com/Friendly-URLs is desired.

To associate a Friendly URL to a page:

  1. Edit a page.
  2. Open the Settings tab.
  3. In the Friendly URL field, type in the string, for example, "Friendly-URLs" that will be immediately added to your website's URL.
  4. Save or save and publish the page.

If the page's Friendly URL is "Products" and the website's URL is "http://contoso.com/", the resulting complete URL is "http://contoso.com/Products".

A Friendly URL need not be a short string. It could also be "Products/Tablet-PCs.php", which will result in "http://contoso.com/Products/Tablet-PCs.php".

Note: On multilingual sites the complete URL will also include the "URL Mapping Name" of the page language like "da" for Danish: "http://contoso.com/da/Products".

The URL Mapping Name for a language can be controlled by editing the language in the "System" perspective. One (and only one) language can have an empty URL Mapping Name, making friendly URLs look like "http://contoso.com/Products".
