paths

URL Redirects

When a path changes, redirect

Sometimes a path or URL alias change is necessary. You can minimize the impact of the change by taking these steps:

Paths and URL Aliases

Paths

By default Drupal assigns each page a path (web address) like: http://www.example.org/node/1

Pages are numbered in the order they were created.

Pages can receive fancier URLs

Your Drupal site will automatically create a URL alias (non-numerical path) for each page like: http://www.example.org/your-page-topic

URL aliases are more visitor- and search engine-friendly than numerical paths.

Folders, Directories, and File Structure

Drupal content (pages for Articles, Basic Pages, Events, Photo Albums & Galleries, aka "nodes") is stored in a database, so the pages do not have a traditional folder/file structure.

Every page gets a number

By default Drupal assigns each page an address like: http://www.example.org/node/1

Pages are numbered in the order they were created.

Uploading Files with IMCE

Uploading Files

You can view, add, and delete uploaded files without having to add or edit a node:
