I use this custom tag at the top of every page in my site [attached]. Then, all you do is to code the URL so that it references a path such as one you've coded. You can use name/value pairs just like a normal URL variable:
www.mysite.com/article.cfm?id=27 becomes this: www.mysite.com/article.cfm?id/27 And that custom tag converts 1d/27 to id=27. You can also have multiple name/value pairs like so: www.mysite.com/article.cfm?id/27/title/andy-matthews You'd have to code in the ability to replace spaces with underscores or dashes as you prefer it. <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer certified advanced coldfusion programmer ICGLink, Inc.

Like, how does Forta do this? http://www.forta.com/blog/index.cfm/2006/9/21/Check-Out-The-Adobe-Race-Car Do you store that title (Check-Out-The-Adobe-Race-Car) in the database? Is that created when the post is created? I have to admit, I'm only really trying to figure it out to satisfy my own curiosity. I don't blog, and really don't have an insterest in blogging, but I'm curious as to how the dynamic entries are turned into permalinks. It seems pretty cool. I'd like to try it for clients who have "news" pages and whatnot. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:253861 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
