- Go to a discussion message either by adding a message or finding an existing message.
- In the Set Relative Url field enter the relative url for the message.
- Click on the Set Relative Url button.
- A new Go To Relative Url button will be displayed which you can use if you want to check the relative url.
The relative url must begin with a forward slash character. Generally it should also end with a forward slash as well. For example...
/my/fantastic/url/
You are free to use just about any url patterns you want. You should avoid patterns that the software for your website uses for its own functionality.
For example if you wanted to create a series of stories you could use a pattern like...
/story/15/
/story/19/
...where the numbers correspond to the message numbers for those stories. You don't have to use message numbers. You could use text...
/story/toms-webhosting-is-fantastic/
/story/build-a-website-now/
If you set a relative url such as /one/two/ and you haven't set a relative url for /one/ then your website will create an index webpage for you with links to its sub webpages.
