Torleif Berger	Wednesday 29 November 2006 8:44:44 am or is it the name? when I go to the site I get for example this in the addressbar: /index.php/corporate_site/news But I think it looks a bit weird with the corporate_site there. especially since the site is far from a corporate site.. how can I change it somewhere to something else? Can I remove it totally? If I can change that one: The admin area is called /index.php/corporate_site_admin/ Will that change accordingly? or can I change that to just admin or something?
Claudia Kosny	Wednesday 29 November 2006 9:41:08 am Hello Torleif the name corporate_site is the name of your public site access. You can rename it by changing some ini settings (always make a backup before doing this!). In /settings/override/site.ini.append.php have a look at the blocks [SiteSettings] ... and [SiteAccessSettings] ... If corporate_site is listed here (it should be), change every occurrence of corporate_site to your new name (best stick to letters a-z and underscore, I am not sure if using special characters is possible). Then check the folder /settings/siteaccess. There you have a folder for each siteaccess, rename the folder corporate_site to your new name. Then empty the cache and try again, the name should be changed now. This works separately for each site access, so if you change the name of the public siteaccess, the admin siteaccess will not be influenced. The site access is how EZ knows what settings to use, so removing it will not work in general if you use uri matching. Removing the site access from the url might work if you use e.g. host as matchorder, I have never tried it so I cannot tell you.

This can be found in the block[filesettings] in the site.ini in /settings/siteaccess/corporate_site (or whatever you renamed it to).

/index.php/corporate_site/news

But I think it looks a bit weird with the corporate_site there. especially since the site is far from a corporate site.. how can I change it somewhere to something else? Can I remove it totally?

If I can change that one: The admin area is called

/index.php/corporate_site_admin/

Will that change accordingly? or can I change that to just admin or something?

Hello Torleif

the name corporate_site is the name of your public site access. You can rename it by changing some ini settings (always make a backup before doing this!).

In /settings/override/site.ini.append.php have a look at the blocks
[SiteSettings]
...
and
[SiteAccessSettings]
...

If corporate_site is listed here (it should be), change every occurrence of corporate_site to your new name (best stick to letters a-z and underscore, I am not sure if using special characters is possible).

Then check the folder /settings/siteaccess. There you have a folder for each siteaccess, rename the folder corporate_site to your new name.

Then empty the cache and try again, the name should be changed now.

This works separately for each site access, so if you change the name of the public siteaccess, the admin siteaccess will not be influenced.

The site access is how EZ knows what settings to use, so removing it will not work in general if you use uri matching.
