            ! Suffix Cleaner
New in ((Tiki25))

Sometimes, email clients or web pages can generate links that look like: "''Pagename.''", "''PageName)''", "''PageName.)''", or "''PageName,''" and lead to a "''Page not found''" error.

Fortunately, Tiki is smart enough to handle this, thanks to an exciting feature: "Clean URLs".

!!! What it does
Concretely, when this feature is enabled, if a requested page is not found, it tries to remove one or two characters from the end of the URL to see if it gets a perfect match with an existing working page, and if so, it redirects the user to that 

!!! How to use
As Tiki gives us the possibility to use only what we want, the Clean URLs feature must be activated before we can use it
!!!! Steps to activate
* From your System menu click on Settings (You must be admin)
* Under the dropdown select Control Panels
* This being an advanced feature, you need to turn on "Advanced" under Preference Filters
{img src="display1859" link="display1859" width="400" rel="box[g]" imalign="center" desc="Click to expand" align="center" styleimage="border"}
* Then under Global Setup, Click on General Settings to open the General Settings page
* Under the Navigation tab, find a section called "Redirects"
* Scroll down a little bit to find the Clean URLs feature, and check the box to activate it
* Finally click on Apply button to apply your changes
