I appreciate that soholaunch publishes static .html pages in the root directory for search engines... but the problem with this is that these static pages are not published in the site template and look very amateurish.

I recently discovered this article:

http://www.webreference.com/internet/cms/

Basically, it says that you can add a few commands into a .htaccess file, upload it to your root directory and it will change the ugly content management page (eg. http://yoursite.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=35&SESSIONID=200dbf5df81843102bc2ba2560207841) to an elegant page which search engines can spider (eg. yoursite.com/article_35)

Has anyone done this with Soholaunch? If so, how exactly because I can't seem to do it.

Cheers.

The .html pages that Soholaunch publishes are gateway .html pages. These pages are not visualy apealing because they are formatted for spiders rather than actual viewing. As far as our links go, our standard is http://domain.com/index.php?pr=Page_Name . All pages keep that format unless they are passing session information, in which case you wouldn't want them indexed by spiders.
