Object name pattern & friendly URL's

Tuesday 23 January 2007 11:55:38 am

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 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

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.
