smallbizwebsites Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I have a "Privacy" page, and I want to put a link on it to the "Terms and Conditions" page. I find that if I use <a href="terms-and-conditions">Terms</a> that this does not work. The actual page URL might be /en/content/3-terms-and-conditions. How can I get rid of these numbers?

tomerg3 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 The page ID is used to track changes int he URLs (IE renaming a product / moving to another category) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallbizwebsites Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Thanks, but how do I get a reliable URL I can use to link pages that do not have these numbers? For example, if I have an "About" page, and I want to link to it from any other page, what URL should I use? If I modify the "About" page, it may then be called "2-about" or "3-about". If I try just using "about", then I get a 404 error. I need fixed URLs without the numbers. Is there a way do eliminate them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomerg3 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 You should use the $link object to get links to pages. There are example in existing modules to do it for content pages, and well as general pages. It is a bad idea to remove the IDs from URLs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallbizwebsites Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Ahh- that's a big help. I'm just learning. Is there an example you can suggest I look at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomerg3 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Check out the blockcms module /mocules/blockcms/blockcms.tpl Read the PS developer documentation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallbizwebsites Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 I guess I missed something. I am not editing module files. Rather, I am just using the CMS editor to edit a static page. When I select some text that I want to be a link to some other static page, what do I type in as the URL?
