Is it possible to change the use of underscores to dashes in nice URLs?

Thanks Gunnstein!

I'm not sure if I want to make the change badly enough to tinker with code that may be overwrittein in future upgrades. I have to keep track of enough changes as it is. :) It would be nice if future versions of eZ publish provided this as a setting during setup or within the site.ini as the URLs delimiters can have a direct impact on search engine ranking.

Thanks again,

Alex

Hi Mark

It is converted by eZ's transliteration system ( http://ezpedia.org/wiki/en/ez/transliteration ), in eZURLAlias::convertToAlias. The different commands are listed in transform.ini. The one you're looking for is url_cleanup. At the end, you'll have to look at the top of eZCodeMapper::generateCommandCode and eZCodeMapper::executeCommandCode, where preg_replace is transforming your url.

Good luck!

<b>Edit:</b> apparently this question has been answered before: http://ez.no/community/forum/general/transformation_url_transliteration. I did make a nice trip however through the kernel and lib to find it out :-)
