Object name pattern & friendly URL's
Object name pattern & friendly URL's
Tuesday 23 January 2007 8:55:38 pm - 4 replies
Hi all,
I like my URL's short and simple. Preferably each object should have a one word identifier to use in the URL. Like ez.no/products/ezpublish.
But, the title of the object could be longer. The title above ez.no/products/ezpublish for instance, could be 'ezPublish Content Management System' instead of just 'ezPublish'.
I tried this by using...
Name: 'ezPublish Content Management System'
Short name: 'ezPublish'
...in my content objects, but now the title above this page and embedded references to this page now only state 'ezPublish' instead of 'ezPublish Content Management System'.
Is there a way I can have just 'ezpublish' in the URL but 'ezPublish Content Management System' in all pages without having to change all referenced templates?
I hope anyone can help me!
Thanks in advance,
Maarten

Hi Maarten
I made a patch which adds a second naming pattern to content classes, which is used for the url aliases (instead of the object name pattern). Also see this topic: http://ez.no/community/forum/inst.../is_it_possible_to_browse_by_node_id

Hi Kristof,
Your patch seems to be exactly what I needed!
I just installed it and did a few small tests. It seems to work perfectly and is exactly what I was looking for. ez Systems should add this to the default functionality of ez Publish.
Thanks a lot for sharing it and pointing it out to me!
Cheers,
Maarten

Hi Kristof,
Perhaps you can help me out once again.
I'd like to use a datetime for the URL of weblog entries. This is working, but the URL's are automatically formatted like monday_august_13_2006_08_23_00_pm and it seems this can't be overriden manually.
Could you think of a way I could choose the format for the date and time in the URL to achieve a more desirable short format like 20060823-8-23PM or perhaps 2006-08-23-8-23-PM?
Cheers!

Modify the date datatype that's the method title in kernel/classes/datatypes/ezdatetime/ezdatetimetype.php (if you use the datetime
I'd suggest to put the format option in a .ini (eg TitleFormat = YYYY-MM-DD) and use it in the code.
Then submit it as a enhancement and hope ez picks it up, so everyone benefit from it and you won't have to patch by hand everytime.
