How to make a 'section' section
I see alot of sites that have urls that come in the form of "site.com/about/about/" and this seems a bit redundant. I thought I would clarify how urls works in Indexhibit and also how you can make a "section" top page.
First off, we structure the way that urls are built with Indexhibit to be very flexible. It can be bent to do many things, but it does not do everything automatically. For instance, if you drag an exhibit from one section to another it will not automatically rewrite the url for the page to reflect the new section (you need to unpublish and then re-publish the page to make this happen). The logic behind doing this was that we wanted people to actually have a little more control over the urls.
In the cms you are not able to rename the root folder of your site so anything published from it will simply append the name of the exhibit to the root path - like:
/name-of-my-exhibit/
/print-projects/
/about/
What happens often is people create a new section called 'About' and then create a page for that section called 'About'. Hence, they arrive at a url that looks like:
/about/about/
It's possible, with or without the creation of the 'About' folder, to simply create a page in your 'root' section (whatever you have called it) and publish from there so you will simply arrive at a more precise url called:
/about/
Then, if you choose, you could move this file to the 'About' section to create a 'section' section page - or a top page for the section.
It may seem a little counter-intuitive at first, but once you grasp the concept we feel the flexibility of our url system begins to make sense.
