(bizarre - either the list or mail server truncated my last post. i've checked my outbox and the whole post was there. here's the rest:) >if so, we're basically showing the article page based on a switch where the >first "directory" is article. > >using the above url, the following would work though. >http://test.evolt.org/article/view/18/4109/this_is_a_great_article.cfm is the 'view' really needed though? surely it would be possible to change your uta.cfm to make the following work: http://test.evolt.org/article/18/4109/this_is_a_great_article.cfm IMO that would look nicely like a "genuine" path with a realistic looking hierarchy. (we could even change the .cfm to .html for looks, but i don't care about that) </ol> ____________________________________________________ v i b e m e d i a http://www.vibe.co.nz/ po box 10-492 wellington, new zealand phone +64 21 210-7845 oliver at lineham.co.nz
