Re: [vicent] SE-friendly URLs
Hi,

You could use mod_rewrite.

1) Add a .htaccess file to your links folder (i.e /www/links/) Put the following code in it:

Code:
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^jump/([0-9]+).html$ /cgi-bin/links/jump.cgi?ID=$1 [L]

This should then make the URL format:

http://www.yourdomain.com/links/jump/123.html ... goto http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/links/jump.cgi?ID=123

2) Assuming that works, then you just need to change your link.html template, so that it uses:

Code:
<a class="link" href="<%db_cgi_url%>/jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>"><%Title%></a>

Code:
<a class="link" href="<%build_root_url%>/jump/<%ID%>.html"><%Title%></a>

Hope that helps.

Cheers
