How do I create static pages without it creating the new directories?

I am trying to figure out how to make the script generate static html / php pages instead of having it make additional folders as well. Is this something that can be done? I would like it to make pages like www.sitename.com/links/category-name.html/php

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Chad

Hi,

Its not too simple. What I would do, is add a new field in Database > Category > Properties - something like:

Clean_Build_URL
CHAR(255)
TEXT

..then, for each category, set that field to whatever you want. For example:

Category Name => My Test
Clean_Build_URL => my-test

...then, in Setup -> Build Options, change:

build_category_format

...to "Other", and then the value as:


This should work for you (although it won't build them like .html/.php - that could be done with a bit of custom work, but not something I would wanna do over the forum, as it can be quite involved =))
