Hi there,

A basic one I’m sure, but got me stumpted none the less. Here goes…

I’m trying to get a site to use the URL title in the URL, rather than the entry ID.

Here’s the site: http://training.customstudio.co.uk/portfolio/detail/16

The entry has a URL title set, and it’s displayed if I paste it into the browser, but by default it displays entry ID.

I suspect there’s a setting I haven’t found (despite looking).

Any help is appreciated!

Well maybe I’m missing something too but it should work fine with an entry_id OR a url_title. EE should automatically be able to use either to display the correct entry. If you have dynamic=“no” and are hardcoding url_title=”{segment_3}” then this could cause issues though.

But why are you linking to the url with the entry id anyway? Wheres the link that spits out http://training.customstudio.co.uk/portfolio/detail/16 ? In your portfolio list page, you should link to the detail page using the url_title

Hope this helps!

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your email.

I’m using the following code to display my portfolio list, which is linking to the entry id:

<h3>Our Portfolio:</h3>
<p>                    <ul><br />
                        {exp:channel:entries channel="portfolio" dynamic="no" orderby="title" sort="asc"}<br />
                            <li><a href="http://{permalink=">{title}</a></li><br />
                        {/exp:channel:entries}<br />
                    </ul>

PLEASE NOTE: The forum is editing some of the code. Sould read… permalink=“portfolio/detail”

Does that make sense?

Well shouldn’t the link be href=”{url_title_path='portfolio/detail'}” or href=”{path='portfolio/detail/{url_title}’}”

BINGO!

Thanks Dave!

No worries, glad you got it sorted!

Thanks for the assist, Dave.
