Routing

Introduction

Routing is how the URL in the browser address bar determines the content of the web page. By default, the plugin uses query parameters for routing, so the URL of a particular speaker will be of the form

http//my-site.com/talque/speaker-list/?speakerId=ZsljYMyP5v3f3KL05594

This is the simplest form of routing, and works independent of how Wordpress is configured.

Custom URLs

The URL for a single speaker, lecture, and partner company can be customized for easier link sharing. This is configured in WP admin → Talque → Settings. For example, you can configure speaker URLs to be of the nicer form

http//my-site.com/my-speaker/steve_jobs

For this to work, your Wordpress configuration must satisfy

• The http://my-site.com/my-speaker route must not already be used for something else (like an existing WP page, or a different plugin)

• The Wordpress rewrite engine must be active, that is, WP admin → Settings → Permalinks → Common Settings must be set to something else than Plain.
