Numbers in SEF URLS (Google News Compatability)

Post by cacimar » Tue Jan 22, 2008 8:15 pm

I started to post a question, but worked through the answer instead.  SEF urls basically include the section ID and category ID in the urls, along with the content ID. 

Google News requires 3 or more unique digits in the article URL for news.

It looks like all I need to do is flip the Content id to 100 for new content pieces.

SQL Command:
ALTER TABLE jos_content AUTO_INCREMENT = 100;
