ok...i know i don't need them but...i want them Smile this way the url becomes more SEO friendly, doesn't it?or am i wrong? thanks[/quote]

I don't know. SEO stuff leaves me cold. Others around here are better informed and may weigh in on the subject.


There appears to be a couple of problems with showing all parents in the URL - though how much this affects you is obviously your call.
o Hugely long and ugly URLs (1)
o If you move branches or children around in the hierarchy, extant URLs to those children are now stale - or worse (for SEO, AFAIK, duplicates)
o If a child can have multiple parents you'll end up with multiple URL's pointing to identical data (as intimated in the previous, I believe this is ungood)

(1) or you pick an arbitrary point at which you stop displaying generations and just determine location by the last segment - then it's a matter of degree (and I tend to think a degree of '1' is ideal Smile
