Help with creating Search engine friendly URL's - 2005/11/27 08:05
Hi! I am hoping that someone can help me understand what exact steps I need to take to create SEF urls in Miva. I have searched the Miva forums and have found little tidbits here and there, and have read the Miva documentation. However before I start banging my head against the wall, I was wondering if someone can bullet point the basic steps for me.
I saw Sebenza's posting at http://www.sebenza.com/site/content/view/56/62/ but this posting assumes that I know what I am doing, and before I mess with the .htaccess file I want to know what specifically I need to do.
Here is what I do know: I know I need to add an href tag to the templates. I know I need to put something in my htaccess file to the rewrite engine.
What I don't understand is how adding a regular href tag in a template will communicate with the htaccess file to rewrite the URL's. I also don't understand where to put the href tag. I also don't understand what specifically needs to be put into the htacess file.
Help!!!
Thanks, Janice
PS. I was going to post the the Miva5 forum, but the answers are usually very very vague (at least to me because I am a noob) and the replies here have been very throrough and understandable
