Use id for url

Friday 27 May 2011 7:28:40 am

Is it possible to use the object id for the url?

It is something like this: users should be able to add data that is no readable by other users. The problem is that it is very common for the users to add objects with the same name. So if 2 users will create some content called "content", the first user will see the url to content as "parent/content", the second one will see the url to it's content like "parent/content-2".

I would not like this to happen, and I can see 2 options:

1) use for object's url it's id, like parent/77 (where 77 is the object's id)

2) add to object's url the owner's id, like parent/content-88 (where 88 is the user's id)

Are these setups possible?

Sao, just a note...

When there are two subitems with the same name under the same parent node, eZ automatically generates different URL's for them. In your example that would be:

• /parent/content
• /parent/content_1

And when you use $node.url_alias for this nodes you'll get this different urls.

Does this help?

P.S. Your second option won't work properly if the same user creates two contents with the same name.

Nothing is impossible. Not if you can imagine it!

It's a little bit unclear what are you trying to do...

Why (and how) do you want to use url in fetch(content, list)?
