Thread: How to Stop Fusion frun truncating page URLs?

    Default How to Stop Fusion frun truncating page URLs?

    How do you get Fusion 13 to stop truncating long page URLs??? It actually will allow a lot of characters, but it does truncate at some point. Is there a setting were I can turn that off? I do NOT want the page URLs truncated. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    - Craig

    I believe that the limit is 256 characters which is more than likely a database size limitation for that field (internal Fusion "thang").

    Why do you want to use long URLs?

    Even browsers have a limit of 2083 characters for URLs

    I dont need them that long.. here is an example ... :

    Here is the page URL :
    http://www.eminemtour.com/Eminem-Tou...rd-nj-on-.html
    But the TITLE I used was Eminem Tour Tickets at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford NJ on 8/16/2014
    so it cut off 7 characters (not including the slashes) it should end in 8162014.html, but it stopped withthe word 'on'.
    I am guessing the limit is defaultly 64 characters??? That's only what Fusion 13 publishd as you can see by the URL above.

    (I am JUST speaking of the PAGE NAME, but the whole complete URL. It cut 7 characters off the page name in the URL, but I want more than 64 characters, I want the whole title to be part of the URL)

    You do not need to use page titles as the page/file/document name.

    Fusion defaults to this so that all pages are not called untitled (google for untitled and you will find hundreds of millions of pages about "untitled").

    Page name: is the actual name of the document: xxx.html (it should be as SHORT as possible)
    Page title: Is a short synapses, encapsulating what the page/document is all about (70 characters +/-)
    Page description: is a longer in-depth explanation about what the page contains (255 characters max)

    These are all separate elements that you can and should control when you are designing and building your web presence

    if you want to read over my tutorials on these page naming conventions this should give you a better idea of what you need to do.
