URL Generation

URL Generation

When template designers use the publishing API in template script to generate navigation links, they use several properties of the Channel and Posting objects related to URL generation. Regardless of the URL mode in use (hierarchy-based, the default, or GUID-based), the dynamic nature of this URL generation means that channels and postings can be moved around within the Web site without breaking any of the associated links. This, of course, is a huge advantage over traditional, file-based Web sites. Another advantage when using hierarchy-based URLs is that the URLs used in Live mode are quite readable, and do not end with the long, obscure query strings that tend to break many search engines.
