Manage URLs

This section defines the default url that will be suggested when you will create a new content.

Visibility

This required field defines the visibility strategy of the content type:

• Visible [New Page] (Render the data from an URL): contents of this content type each get their own frontend page/URL.
• Not Visible [No Page] (Only data storage, but can be used in widgets): contents of this content type are not rendered as standalone pages and have no URL; they are only usable as data (e.g. through widgets, relation fields, or repeater fields).

Switching an existing content type to Not Visible removes its contents' URL rewrites. On a Not Visible content type, the "Search Engine Optimization" and "Open Graph" fields are hidden by default on the content edit form — see System Configuration to show them back if needed.

Default URL pattern

If you leave the URL empty, you will need to set it manually for each content you want to create. Alternatively, you can set a replacement pattern to auto-build your URL (see below the section “About Short Codes”).

About Short Codes

Short codes are used to build patterns using the values of your content fields.

Short codes are defined by the identifier of a field included by two curly brackets, like this: .

If the field used could have some html characters, you can specify to ignore them by adding a pipe and the code “plain”, as this: .

For example, if you have a field named “firstname”, another one named “lastname” and you are creating a testimonial content type, you can set your default title to: .
