how can i make urls shorter?
Hi Guys,
My client has asked me to change the way links work on his website, if you go to http://www.4design4style.com/boutique.php?sub1menu=4+Fine+Food+%26+Wine&sub2menu=4+Bread&sub3menu=4+Europe&Submit=Go
you will notice the page is screwed up because one of the urls on the top entry is really long. my question is how can i change the system so that instead of it displaying the whole web adress, i want it to display "View Website"
Can anybody provide any help or advice on this one please? many thanks.
Kind Regards,
Andy MacDonald

You can configure your .htaccess file to use shorter URLs using modrewrite if you are running on and Apache server.

htaccess will not affect links to external websites.
Do you have access to edit the HTML for that entry? Or does it use something like bBcode?
