Friendly URLs

[tomperys]

Hi,
can I ask if you are thinking about more options with Friendly URLs? Because so far if I Am not mistaken, you can only set the "mod_rewrite" in general settings and thats all. No options like in WordPress where you can choose from different types like /%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ or just /%postname%/ or write your own structure.

The main problem now is that, that myfaq is generating those URLs from postname in gross form:

• full lenght of postname

• name is with the diacritic so its replaced with special characters in the URL

• before the postamne is for example "/content/54/258/cs/"

So the URL can be really long, if you have long postname and it can be pretty ugly like - content/55/426/cs/konec-vyd%C3%A1v%C3%A1n%C3%AD-ssl-certifk%C3%A1t%C5%AF-s-platnosti-3-roky.html

The length is not such big issue, worse is, that the URLs using the diacritics and they are repalced like you can see above, and its not very nice and friendly anymore It would be nice to have it without it and best would be to have some option to set own form and structure.

Hi,

how should the URLs look like in your opinion?

1. As a "quick help" solution - it will be good to at least convert the postname to non-diacritics characters, so for example:
   • there is post starting with "Konec vydávání"
   • so the URL is "konec-vydávání"
   • and the final URL is then ugly like "konec-vyd%C3%A1v%C3%A1n%C3%AD"
   it would help to convert it just to the non-diacritic, so like - "konec-vydavani"

• The more permanent "longer term" solution - could be optipon, to set own sctructure like Wordpress have, so maybe define that we want just %postname% (of cource non-diacritic characters, so still for example that "konec-vydavani" instead of "konec-vydávání" ) and maybe option to replace that numbers and content "/content/54/258/cs/" to somethink like "/categoryname/postname/"

I know its possible to "go around" this and use for example the rewrite.map but it would be much nicer to have this above mentioned "like wordpress" option inside the admin backend and just set the /%categoryname%/%postname%/ and save it

Hi,

yes, nice ideas. The major issue is that we have to handle existing installation with a lot fo 301 redirects from old URLs to new ones.
