1 Configuration

If you want to use this feature, you first have to enable it globally in your node.conf

$FEATURE['pub_dir_segment']=true;

After the feature is activated, the properties dialog for nodes contain a new checkbox Publish Directory Segments. By checking it, the construction of publish directories can be switched from the default behaviour to the segmentation behaviour.

2 Default behaviour

The default behaviour for publish directories is that each folder in the CMS has an individual path (e.g. / or /news/ or /home/products/cars/). This means, that there is no coupling of the folder structure in the CMS to the structure of publish directories.

• The path may be empty (/)
• Folders may have the same publish path

Example:

Will publish the pages like that:

The alternative construction of publish directories couples the structure of publish directories to the folder structure in the CMS. Each folder only defines a single segment of the complete path, which is constructed from the segments of the folder and all its parent folders.

• The segment must not be empty
• Segments must not contain /
• Siblings must not have the same segment

Example:

Will publish the pages like that:
