Marco Zinn	Monday 15 November 2004 1:44:30 pm Are you talking about "manual" URL translations? I guess, these are not supporessed to have / in the "virtual URLs" (so, just "1 level virtual URLs" can be created) ? But you know, that eZ publish automatically creates "nice URLs" from the names of your objects? So, if you have an object named "company" at level 1 (ie a folder) and another object called "info" as a child of "company", you should be able to access that page by the URL http://bla.com/index.php/company/info , as ezPublish understands the "nice url" /company/info .

Why did people want nice urls? Because they meant it was difficult to remember id-numbers to access pages. Nice urls is good up to 2 levels, but more than this, it's hard to remember all the page-words in a structure, then it's more easy to remember page-id-numbers. Well, back to what I want ;) If I have a page: http://www.mycompany.com/content/view/full/64 This page with ID 64 is about employees in a department. Structure: www.mycompany.com/organization/departement/employees I was contacted by an editor in this department who wanted an easier way to access this employee page. I thought we could use url translations in the admin-interface, but this is just possible with one level. This editor wanted that this employee-page should be accessed through: www.mycompany.com/dep/employees In eZ publish it's only possible with: www.mycompany.com/employees or www.mycompany.com/depemployees. I know this can be fixed by adding a Rewriterule in apache.conf, but I want to know if it should be possible in the ez admin interface.

content/view/full/342 with virtual url: company/info
