Changing page URLs

Understand slugs and paths before changing an address.

A page's address can include a title-based slug or a custom page path.

Open the saved page with View and note its current URL.
If your role allows it, use Customize page slug under SEO Content for the title-like part of the address, or Page path under Advanced for a custom path.
Use a short, clear value and follow the site's naming conventions.
Save and test the new address in each relevant language.
Test the old address and arrange a redirect if it no longer reaches the right content.

Changing a title does not mean every site's URL changes in the same way. Avoid changing Unique name or Unique uri as a way to edit the public address: those fields have other purposes.

Redirecting an old address

Help readers reach replacement content.

Language-specific URLs

Check links to translated content.

Adding links

Link readers to another page, website, or email address.

Configure hostnames and HTTPS

Align DNS, site selection, and certificate termination.

Trace a URL through dispatch

Open the Development page's dispatch tools. Inspect the list of active rules, then trace the path that produces an unexpected result.

Trace URL dispatch from the command line

Use dispatch inspection to discover why a path selects a particular controller:

Link to resources and dispatch routes

Use a resource's page URL when linking to content. This lets Zotonic account for its path and language.

Sending form notifications and confirmations

Notify the responsible team and tell respondents their form was received.

Adding and arranging questions

Choose field types, set required answers, and keep question names stable.
