My Page Structure is Content Root -> Home -> page1->page2
Friendly URL of the pages are:
Home :Home
page1:page1
page2:page2
URL for the page page2 is /wps/portal/Home/page1/page2 (or wps/portal/Home/page1/page2 for an authenticated user)
I want to exclude a page (say page1) in the hierarchy; my url should look like /wps/Home/page2.
To achieve these, follow the steps below
1. Export the page page1,say pageExport.xml
2. In pageExport.xml, change
<parameter name="com.ibm.portal.friendly.name" type="string" update="set"><![CDATA[page1]]></parameter>
to
<parameter name="com.ibm.portal.friendly.name" type="string" update="set"><![CDATA[com.ibm.portal.friendly.wildcard]]></parameter>
3. Import pageExport.xml
Now page1 will not have any friendly url.
Note: you can’t assign com.ibm.portal.friendly.wildcard to a page friendly name using Portal admin console when creating the page.
