Re: [getxindi] slugs? how to change or should they be changed?

[John Whish]

You could just update the slug in the database (pages table). That's
probably the easiest way.

Hi Tim,

Yes, as John says you can update the slugs in the database if you need to. It's my thinking that the slug should be created when the page is initially saved and then remain unchanged for subsequent changes. I think this has benefits in terms of SEO (although I'm not an expert) and inbound links (i.e. if a page slug changes any inbound links to the page would return a 404 which we would want to avoid). However, if you have any thoughts or suggestions please let me know.

I welcome contributions to the project so please feel free to take a look at the Issue list.
