LibGuide Sustainability & Troubleshooting

Just like your guide, each of its pages will also have a unique ID number. Combined, the URL for a page will look something like this:

https://library.fiu.edu/webart/c.php?g=123456

• Where g=123456 represents the guide's ID number and p=78901 represents the page's ID number.
• If you've given your guide a friendly URL, then you can also give each page one, as well. This allows you to replace the portion of the URL following your domain name with your own custom string (also known as a "slug"). For example:

https://library.fiu.edu/webart/museum-news

• The friendly URL of each page will display after the friendly URL of the guide, just like it's a subdirectory. In the example above, history is the friendly URL of the guide and databases is the friendly URL of an individual page of that guide.

To customize a single page's friendly URL: 

1. While editing your guide, click on the page you want to customize in your guide's navigation menu.

2. Click on the pencil icon next to the Page URL field at the top of the guide, right above your content columns.

3. In the window that appears, add, edit, or remove the text for the guide's friendly URL

   • The friendly URL may only contain alphanumeric characters, dashes, forward slashes, and underscores.

   • While uppercase letters are supported, we recommend using lowercase letters to keep things simple.

4. ​Click the Save button
