ManiacDan Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I think you're thinking about this backward. Inbound links will be in the format of www.yoursite.com/12345-The-Article-Title-Here Your rewrite rule will ignore the title entirely and just use the ID (12345 in this case). Your rewrite rules cannot access the database. You would print out links to your site in the "pretty" format and then the rule takes the pretty format, strips out everything but the ID, and uses it. -Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
