Hi Lewis! Magnolia should automatically shorten your URL when you access the site by it's domain name.
Configure Tomcat to accept any hostname for the virtual host. (Not needed if you are using the default host). Configure your domain name in your site definition under the "domain" node (see demo-project for example). Now access your site using your chosen domain-name. Magnolia should shorten the URL by removing the site-name from the beginning of the URLs. So, if you are accessing using a "generic" hostname (like "localhost" for example), you need the site-name in the URL so magnolia knows which site you want. When accessing the site using the specific domain-name, the URL can be shortened. Hope that helps.

Dezember 2010 15:11 An: Magnolia User-List Betreff: [magnolia-user] Magnolia site root/context path? Hi list, I have set up a site on EE 4.3.2 that lives at "my-site-name". Underneath my-site-name I have a series of pages set up like the tree below e.g: -my-site-name -section-1 -sub-section-1 -sub-section-2 -section-2 -sub-section-1 -section-3 -sub-section-1 This is great and all pretty much works as expected with sub sections inheriting content from parent templates where necessary. The only thing I would like to find out is how to configure Magnolia to remove the my-site-name context path from the urls of the public instance? For example "my-site-name" is the homepage so a link from "section-1" to "section-2" should appear as <a href="/section-2">Section 2 Title</a> but instead links that are selected via the CMS interface using the default config appear lie so <a href="/my-site-name/section-2">Section 2 Title</a> Hope the above makes sense and look forward to hearing about any solutions. The first example is the desired result :) Thanks in advice for any help, -Lewis ________________________________ ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/home/community/mailing-lists.html To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
