I need a URL path mynation.com/foo/bar/zoo/myslug.
Possible? Looks like NB converts slashes to underscores.
Official response from Jim Gilliam
No, it is not possible to have slashes in slugs.

NationBuilder is apparently so powerful that it’s worth paying thousands a month to damage your brand this way, but not powerful enough to run as a primary Web site with more than a handful of pages (ESPECIALLY press releases, which will pile up as clutter).
Just gotta swing NationBuilder under nb.example.com and keep www.example.com for your legacy stuff.
That actually came to my attention soon after I posted my comment. I appreciate your help, though.
But, I don’t see why it isn’t a possibility to have slugs with slashes in them. It’s a pretty basic thing to use in site architecture, and the legacy redirect feature already shows that there likely isn’t some sort of architecture problem preventing slashes from being used. I still believe this is a feature that should be added.

The importer can crawl your existing site, map it’s current URL structure, and allow you to specify which pages on your new NationBuilder site those old URLs should redirect to.
Additionally, you can specify individual URLs for redirection whether or not those URLs existed previously on your old site by visiting Pages >> Legacy within your nation’s Control Panel.
(Ex: redirect yoursite.com/issues/economy to yoursite.com/economy)

Consider all event slugs being >nation</events/>slug<
Or blog posts:
>nation</blog/>year</>month</>slug<
Or planks in a campaign platform:
>nation</platform/>slug<
Or blog posts:
<nation>/blog/<year>/<month>/<slug>
Or planks in a campaign platform:
<nation>/platform/<slug>

Even on the redirect content type submitting slug of /foo/bar/zoo/mypath.html results in all non-alphanumeric being converted to underscores – foo_bar_zoo_mypath_html
