Internal Link Question

[traytray]

I created an E-Z page and did not enter an Internal Link. I guess it automatically created this link:

http://designerperfumesnob.authsafe....ue-ezp-16.html

Is there any reason I should be changing that and if so, what should I change it to?

Thanks!

Actual ez-pages never use "internal links", which are a method of generating links in ez-page menus to non-ez-page locations in your site. Your URL rewriter has auto-generated the URL you show, presumably based on the ez-page title plus its id. If your rewriter allows you to specify a custom URL for a page, you can change it using whatever method your mod provides.

Great, thank you.

Got another internal link question so thought I'd just add it to this thread I started.

This is the url of the page after the name of the website:

5th-avenue-gift-set-edp-spray-25-oz-body-lotion-33-oz-hydrating-body-cream-cleanser-33-oz-parfum-12-oz-by-elizabeth-arden-for-women-p-1979.html?cPath=656_726

If I wanted to make an internal link of this page do I need to use the entire thing?

Thanks!

Looks like your "make it human friendly by rewriting the URL" isn't doing you any favors ... and is actually making the issue much worse. Honestly, no human is ever going to type that URL in, let alone make much sense of half of its content. Why are you rewriting URLs exactly?

Why not just use the original URL, which would be less than half the length! ... index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=656_726&products_id=1979

The URL rewrite is something my host set up. I knew nothing about it for the longest time, until someone on this forum once asked about the html at the end of my url.

If I chose to, I could just flip it off at this time?
