Page Properties - Defining URL Settings

The URL settings of a page will allow you to control the behavior of a page when users are navgating to it. The most commonly configured options are the Page Alias, URL Extensions and the creation of additonal Page Aliases.

An Alias is a unique name defined for a page so it can be located easily within your website. The Alias is used to generate the URL of your page.

^Ex. If you had a page that was named Contact Us, the following Alias and URL would be created by default
Alias: Contact_Us
URL: http://yourclubsdomain.com/Contact_Us.aspx

Note: If you update the name of a page, the Alias and the URL are not updated 

Aliases form the alias path of each page, which contains all parent pages up to the root of your site's content tree. The alias path of a page is then used to generate its default URL. In order to configure the Alias of a page you will need to follow these steps:

1. Select the page you wish to configure from the Content Tree.
2. Click on the Properties tab and select the URLs menu item.

Edit the information found within the following fields.
  

Alias
Page alias:	The unique name of the page in the given section of the website. By default, this alias is not changed when you modify the page name. The alias is used for the URL of the document. The URL of the document is like: www.ClubName.com/Contact_Us.aspx Note: Some characters are forbidden in URLs and thus they are replaced by a safe character (by default, it's an underscore _ ).
Page URL Path
Use custom URL path:	This setting should be checked and left as is.
Path Type:	"Standard URL or wildcard" should be selected and this setting should not be changed.
Path or Pattern:	This setting should be left blank
Extended Properties
URL extensions:	By default all web pages on your ClubHouse Online website end with an extension of ".aspx" (i.e. www.ClubName.com/Contact_Us.aspx).  If you would also like to allow other extensions (i.e. .html or No Extension [in other words "extensionless"] ) select Use custom URL extensions. Multiple extensions can be entered divided by a semicolon. If you enter a semicolon without any extension, extensionless URLs will be allowed.   Ex. Entering ".html;;" for a page with a URL path set to /Contact_Us will allow the document to be accessed through all of the URLs below:   www.ClubName.com/Contact_Us.aspx www.ClubName.com/Contact_Us.html www.ClubName.com/Contact_Us

Page Aliases

The Page Aliases section displays a list of all the page aliases (URLs) under which a particular page can be accessed. A single page can have an unlimited number of aliases (URLs). From this area you have the ability to do the following:

Create an Alias (URL):

1.  Click on the Add new alias button.
2.  Type in an alias name (URL) in the Path or Pattern field.
3.  Click on the Save button.
 

 

Path or pattern:	Input an alternative page alias (URL) without an extension (i.e. Directions)
Alias redirection:	Leave this on "Use site settings"
Culture:	Typically you will leave this setting as the default. If your website is using multiple cultures (or languages) select your desired culture for this alias.
URL extensions:	This can be left blank; leaving it blank will give the new alias an extension of .aspx (i.e. www.ClubName.com/Directions.aspx). Optionally you can add other extensions for the new alias (i.e. .html).
Track campaign:	Leave this blank
