Friendly URL name

Associate friendly URL names with pages and labels in the website. Then, the URLs are constructed using the friendly URLs names. As a result, the website has human readable URLs that are easy to remember.

For a friendly URL to work for a specific page, every page or label that leads to that page must have a friendly URL name. When creating a new page from the site toolbar, the system recommends a friendly URL name. Friendly URLs take the following general form:

http://host/context/content_root/friendly_url_name/friendly_url_name/[!ut/p/encoded_portal_suffix]

The friendly_url_name portion of the URL is made up of the friendly URL names of all pages in the path of the page hierarchy. The hierarchy begins at the content root and ends with the page for which to give the users a friendly URL. For example, we have a page named Products and it has a friendly URL name of products. The Products page has a child page named Appliances and has a friendly URL name of appliances. To access the appliances page, site visitors can type the following friendly URL into the browser address field:

http://www.host/wps/portal/products/appliances

When the page renders, the URL resolves to http://www.host/wps/portal/products/appliances/[!ut/p/encoded_portal_suffix]

Portal appends an encoded suffix to that friendly URL. The suffix represents the current state of the page and its components.
