Friendly URLs and Navigation
Use clear aliases, friendly URLs, and stable tree structure so navigation and SEO stay predictable.
Friendly URLs and navigation both depend on the resource tree, aliases, and rewrite configuration. If the tree is logical, menus and URLs become much easier to manage.
Friendly URLs
- enable friendly URLs in system settings
- make sure the rewrite rules are active
- set the correct rewrite base when the site runs in a subdirectory
- keep aliases clean and meaningful
Classic Navigation Extras
- Wayfinder — build menus from the tree
- Breadcrumbs — show the path from root to current resource
- TransAlias — older helper often used around alias handling in some projects
[[Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &level=`2` &outerTpl=`main.nav` ]]
[[Breadcrumbs? &showHomeCrumb=`1` &tpl=`crumb.row` ]]Rule of Structure
Good navigation starts with a clean tree. If the tree is chaotic, no menu snippet will make the project feel organized.
