    Just digging into Revo. Using friendly url’s and alias is it possible to leave out the content type file extension?
    My links are rendering for example contact.html and i want to leave out the .html part.

      Go to System -> Content Types and leave the file extension of HTML blank.

          I had the same problem and this solved it as well. You probably made the same mistake I did. Some options in Revo you have to hit ’Save’, others like the System Settings you just make the change and off you go. Not a fan of this inconsistency.

            Agreed. I’m never quite sure what this funky interface is going to do or not do. The first time I tried this, I couldn’t seem to get the .html part to edit (you right-click, I found out later), so I deleted that Content Type, planning to recreate it without ".html". Nope, I trashed my site, even though I recreated it: Revo (unless they’ve fixed it) relies on that Content Type being there with a hard-coded ID number in the database. So I had to go in there and fix it. If I’d been any less geekie, I would have been screwed.
