how to get long url & is it good or bad practice

[eluser]oliur[/eluser]
Hi there,

I am using url_title function to make site's urls human redable and SEO friendly. I am also using a hash function to generate a id that I am passing in the url that identifies each unique row in the database.

[code]

[code]

I do not get the full url, the url is cut short. Is there a way I can have a long url?

Also, is it good to have such a long url (sometimes the title could be pretty long) and does it really help in SEO?

Why would you want a hash??? Just use an id...
