Ok, best practices time. Segments: Only introduces a new segment if it indicates a page that is a logical descendant of the previous, traversing a category hierarchy would be the typical example
/books/thrillers/ Query Parameters: Used to define the viewing parameters of the current level in the hierarchy, you'd use this for sorting, pagination and arguably filters. /books/thrillers?page=2&sort=a-z&hide=discontinued It might not look pretty, but this is the way URL syntax works, now you could arguably have 'discontinued' as another url segment but once you start down that line of thought you end up with some fairly deep url structures that could logically be in any order (creating a huge number of possible combinations) I typically overload a single level in the hierarchy with multiple functions by using different slug formats to differentiate between different view functions. You end up with some limitations but you keep fairly short and logical URLs. Regards, Andrew Ingram 2009/4/16 Marcin Mierzejewski <marcin.mierzejew...@gmail.com>: > > Hi Aidas, > >> 7.
