titleFiltering categories by Slug

An URL slug is the part of the URL after the last backslash. The slug is a keyword that helps Google crawl bots understand how to get to your page and confirms the content on it.

With release 3.2429.0, we replace category ID in URLs with category slug i.e. you can search categories by slug. This is a great improvement to your SEO efforts and user experience. Before you had to add a category ID to the URL of your website to search a specific category; things just looked messy and counter intuitive.

Now, you can type in a slug (e.g. football) and search an entire category.

How does filtering categories by slug work?

When you change the slug in the URL of your website, you make a request to Sportal’s /wiki/spaces/SB/pages/3129278465to filter by slug all the content under a specific category. This initiates an exchange of information between our Content API and your back end to deliver to you all content under the desired category.

Bear in mind that the system will display on under a category on your website the type of content you tell it to (articles, videos, or galleries).

Info

Note that the journey described on the image above is necessary because Articles are associated with category ID, not a category slug.
