I’m not even sure how to exactley categorize this, but I often create a custom cms, and because SEO is important I like url’s like http://www.example.com/about-us and not http://www.example.com/page/1
So I usually just create a column called slug and make it unique and use that to locate a db row.
Question is this, is there a way to keep it so that you’re actually querying with a numeric id but it’s not at all present in the url?
I mention wordPress because I know by default its a query string like ?p=2, but you can turn on pretty permalinks.
Is WordPress just diong what I am? Or is there a solution I’m missing?
Hoping to learn something new here…... Thanks.
