ShortURL is the solution to make WebsiteBaker work without the /pages/ directory and the .php extention in the generated url's.
WebsiteBaker uses the /pages/ directory to prevent problems that can arise with system directories like /admin and /media.
Removing the /pages using the settings pagin in WebsiteBaker will work ok, but when you (or your webmaster) creates a page called "admin" or "media" problems will start. These directories are in use by the WebsiteBaker core and could be overwritten or completely removed by the CMS itself.
Using a seperate directory is therefore highly recomendable.
This solution will still use the /pages/ directory, but it will be hidden for the visitors.
The solution has 3 parts.
