    I’m dense, I guess. Lots of examples of how to use url_segments, especially devoted to segments 1-4, but what goes on from 5 to 9 escapes me.

    domain.com/index.php/example/of/using/expression/engine/url/segments/for/fun

    example -> template_group
    of -> template
    using -> entry_title
    expression -> segment_4
    engine -> segment_5
    url -> segment_6
    segments -> segment_7
    for -> segment_8
    fun -> segment_9

    Now you can do if statements on all of these extra segments.

    if segment_5 == “engine”
        do this
    else
        do this

    or

    if segment_9 != “fun”
      do this
    else
      do this

    How do you create the segments for url_segments five through nine?

    template_group / template / category / name-of-entry is easy enough. In what situation can additional segments be added?

    This thread is absurd. Can some sane person please provide directions or a link to documentation regarding how to create a link structure that is more than 3 segments long. Yes, I get it, segment_1 is the fist part, segment_2 is the second…. how do I actually CREATE SEGMENT 4 THROUGH 9? Anyone have an idea?
