Blogs Forums separate directory

Hi,

this seems like a silly question. I noticed on the mojoportal site, the blog and the forum have the format  domain/blog and domain/Forums with all the pages created within these directories. How do I achieve this?

Thanks

Re: Blogs Forums separate directory

Blog and Forum are two of the features of mojoPortal, and the pages you see that are created beneath them, are real pages.

custom pages you create are just URLs which point to special pages with some parameters. and well, all pages that you create are virtual pages. but pages you see that include /Forums or /Blog in the URL are not virtual pages, they are asp.net pages that exist on the hard disk.

now, what do you want to achieve?

you want to create pages that seem like "mycustomname/mypage" ?

simple create a page with this name! if you want more pages, create more pages which have the "mycustomename/" preceding.

but if you want to create a feature, like a blog, or a forum, or a galley, which has supporting pages under a special folder, you will need to learn how to add new features.

Re: Blogs Forums separate directory

Paiman, thanks for your reply.

I want to achieve the following:

mydomain/blog/mypage.aspx or mydomain/forum/mypage.aspx

I thought there was an automated method of putting the /blog or /forum as prefix

Thanks again.

Re: Blogs Forums separate directory

What you're seeing on this site is actually an illusion. The reason you see www.mojoportal.com/blog is that the page is named "blog.aspx", and the site is configured for Extensionless URLs, which removes the .aspx portion of the URL. If you go to a blog post and click the title of the post, rather than the mojoportal.com/blog/post that you're expecting, it will be mojoportal.com/post. The reason for this is that mojoPortal doesn't support extra segments in URLs. It's better to just think of your site as a bunch of pages where the organization is provided by and easily rearranged in the site menu, not in the file system (that's old-school HTML file thinking).

I hope this helps.

Jamie
