The basics of permalinks plugin

[cychang]

Hi,

I am having trouble configuring the Permalinks plugin. The questions:

1. Do I need to create the html file in the first place? Or do I simply need to type in a path and save the entry?

2. What's the format for the path name? Should it be something like "http://www.BLOGNAME.com/2005/12/22/test.html"? Or "www.BLOGNAME.com/2005/12/22/test.html"? Or "/2005/12/22/test.html"? Or "/index.php?/2005/12/22/test.html"? Or ...?

3. Will there be a Permalink link at the bottom of the blog entry, just like "comment" or "trackback"?

Thanks for any pointers.

1. You don't need to create any HTML files, just save with the permalink you've created.

2. The format is like the default that's entered: Only the relative URL path, starting after the base URL. So "/2005/12/22/test.html" would be appropriate.

3. No, the permalinks inside the entry will stay the s9y internal permalinks (which you can, BTW, also configure with serendipity 0.9). However you can change that by editing your entries.tpl template file and showing the link from $entry.properties.permalink instead...

HTH,

Hi, Garvin,

Thanks a lot. Your always very helpful:)))

I typed in "/2005/12/22/test.html" and saved the entry. But when I tried to access "www.MYBLOG.com/2005/12/22/test.html", I got "page not found" error message. What did I do wrong?

Ah ha. I see!!!

"www.MYBLOG.com/index.php?/archives/2005/12/22/test.html" would work.
