Vanity URLs are special human readable URLs which do not contain any technical identifiers like content item IDs. CoreMedia Blueprint provides a means to assign vanity URLs to content objects.

Vanity URLs are configured in channel settings. Typically, there is one Vanity URL settings content item for the root channel of a given site. This is the setup chosen for CoreMedia Blueprint demo content. To find the Vanity URL settings content item, open the root channel of a site and switch to the Settings tab. You will find the Vanity URL settings content item link inside the Linked Settings section.

Vanity URLs are defined as a relative URI path. The path might consist of several segments, but if you would like to keep your Vanity URLs simple, just use only one path segment. The URI path is then prepended with a path segment consisting of the site name. For example, for the site corporate, a URI path of my/special/article would yield the Vanity URL /corporate/my/special/article.
