<p>Hi Alex<br><br>Your answer is clear, but I have some other questions about detail page.<br><br>Why the url of the resource is not lowercase?<br><br>I mean, in your example "Some-great-title". The first letter is uppercase, like the resource title. Is it possibile to have it lowercase? If not, do I have to create another field inside xsd where put the "SEO title" so the user can write it lowercase?<br><br>The other question is about the position of the detail page.<br><br>Imagine this site structure:<br><br>- products<br> |- Type A<br> |- Type A1<br> |- Type A2<br> |- Type A3<br> |- Type B<br> |- Type B1<br> |- Type B2<br> |- Type B3<br><br>If I use categories I can have all produts categorized in the right way and I can display them inside List content in the right way<br><br>But if i have a page where I should have the list of all products of Type A + Type B (and this page is inside products folder), where do I have to put the<br>detail page?<br>If I put inside Type A folder, also product of type B will have this url:<br>/products/TypeA/product-name and this is not correct.<br><br>In this case I should have another detail page inside products folder in order to have urls like this:<br>/products/product-name. But, with sitemap, the detail page is created always inside a folder, so I would have /products/product/product-name.<br><br>This is not a good solution (expecially for SEO).<br><br>The detail page is named always index.html, so If i move the detail page inside products folder (having the correct url: /products/product-name) i can't have a index.html page that is the list of all products (i should name it for example "list.html"), because if i try to rename the detail page, then i get an error when clicking on one product in the list (resource not found) <br><br>So in this case I must create 3 detail pages, one inside products folder to display all products of type A and B, then another one inside Type A folder and another one inside Type B folder. But also this is not good for SEO, because in this case the same content is reachable with different urls (/products/product-name, /products/TypeA/product-name) <br><br>And I can go on creating other detail pages inside every other child folder i create in order to have, for example:<br>/products/TypeA/TypeA1/product-name etc...<br><br>which is the right way to use detail page in this case?<br> <br>Thanks<br>

The individual news messages are usually not part of the main navigation / sitemap. That is where the detail page comes into the picture. You define one page as the detail page for a specific piece of content, e.g. the “News detail page”. This detail page has a place in the sitemap. So all individual news messages are automatically displayed using this detail page, and their URL is calculated automatically. The mechanism that shows the news on the detail page is in pretty much the same as on a standard container page, with the difference that the content for this specific container is selected dynamically and not by hand.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" verdana","sans-serif""="" mce_style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" verdana","sans-serif""="" mce_style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" lang="EN-US">What I'm unclear on is when I use an internal link to a specific piece of content, where this goes to, what's loaded, and the use of detailpages to provide a specific formatting/template/rendering for all resources of the same type.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" verdana","sans-serif""="" mce_style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" verdana","sans-serif""="" mce_style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" lang="EN-US">Let’s say you have a content type “News”, and this has the URI /.content/news/news_00012.html in OpenCms. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" verdana","sans-serif""="" mce_style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" lang="EN-US">If you directly link to this content in OpenCms 8, then the following happens: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1" mce_style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" verdana","sans-serif""="" mce_style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-list:Ignore" mce_style="mso-list:Ignore">1.<span style="font:7.0pt " times="" new="" roman""="" mce_style="font:7.0pt "> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" verdana","sans-serif""="" mce_style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" lang="EN-US">OpenCms recognizes that you are in an OpenCms 8 ADE enabled sitemap.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1" mce_style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" verdana","sans-serif""="" mce_style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-list:Ignore" mce_style="mso-list:Ignore">2.<span style="font:7.0pt " times="" new="" roman""="" mce_style="font:7.0pt "> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" verdana","sans-serif""="" mce_style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" lang="EN-US">Depending on the sitemap you are currently in, it will look up the configured detail page for news.
