    Hey guys,

    I am having a slight problem.

    I am trying to post articles to my website now and when I post them I want the name of the article to be the URL

    Right now it is
    mysite.org/page/2.html

    Instead I would like it to be
    mysite.org/article-title

    And in the .htaccess here is what is listed for page
    RewriteRule ^page/([0-9]+)\.html$ page.php?p=$1

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks!

    I looked through the internal script in the admin panel and there was no way to change the configurations in there...so the only way to do it would be through the .htaccess

    thank you so much in advance!

    Not only will you need to create the mod_rewrite rules in a .htaccess file but you will also change the links within the pages themselves so that they are outputting the clean url's. Mod_rewrite does not rewrite the URL's that are output, it simply rewrites the incoming traffic.
