By default, ShadoCMS sites are set up and coded to use the name of the site in all URLs. This works very well as a default option as it requires almost no webserver and code changes.
But there are times when you want to make the URLs in your site more readable/friendly by shortening them. One of the ways to accomplish that is by removing the site name that appears in all URLs.
Setting up a site in this manner requires the following things to be done:
- Setup web root of the site in the web server
- Change site settings in Shado Central
- Change code used in the site that refers to site name
- Test new URLs
This blog post takes you through the each of these in some detail.
