Displaying Pages

A url to the main site (e.g. www.widgetweb.com) will display the default page of the default space. This is typically referred to as the homepage such as "Home" or "Start".

A url to the main site followed by a page name (e.g. www.widgetweb.com/download/) will display the named page of the default space. The trailing slash is optional (e.g. www.widgetweb.com/download). Additionally, the url for displaying pages is case insensitive. For example, www.widgetweb.com/Download will display the download page.

A url to the main site followed by a space name and then a page name (e.g. www.widgetweb.com/docs/help/) will display the named page of the named space. Again, the trailing slash is optional.

A url to the main site followed by a space name and a trailing slash (e.g. www.widgetweb.com/docs/) will display the named space and the default page of that space. In this case, the trailing slash is 'not' optional.

The above URLs will work for displaying the majority (or all) of the pages on your site. The rest are some alternatives that are either useful or required under certain circumstances.

An indirect route to any page is to use a qualified url by preceding the space and page name with /render. For example, an alternative to www.widgetweb.com/docs/help/is www.widgetweb.com/render/docs/help/. This is useful in scenarios where a space or page name conflict with a system URL such as webdav. In other words, a page named "webdav" on the default space cannot be displayed used the short URL because /webdav/ is used for the webdav interface. Note that this complexity is hidden by the software as it will always generate the "correct" URL choosing the least qualified (and simplest to read) when possible.

A direct route to any page is to use the fully qualified URL <site>/render?spaceName=<space>&pageName=<page>. For example, www.widgetweb.com/render?spaceName=docs&pageName=help would display the help page of the docs space.

An alternate direct route to display a page containing a specific component is to use the fully qualified URL <site>/render?componentUID=<UID>.

• Using the UID of the site will display the default page of the default space.
• Using the UID of a space will display the default page of that space.
• Using the UID of a page will display that page.
• Using the UID of a widget will display the page containing that component.

Tip: You can determine the UID of a component by viewing the component's summary.
