Customized URL's

Hi,

 

I don't thinks custom URL's provide the right settings for good URL rewriting. Consider the following:

 

  • Replace slash with dash (/ -> -)
  • Normalize latin characters (ø->oe, é->e etc.)
  • Encode ampersand(&) in all links

 

Even with all three active and replacing spaces with underscores or dash, we get these cases

- CADBURY´S, CHOCOLATE QUENTE (20UNI)  --> cadbury's--chocolate-quente-(20uni)

 

Result: Single quote is not removed/converted, comma is replaced with dash.

 

Suggestion:

 - Add more special characters to convertion

 - Add options to remove spaces and/or lowerCamelCasing or UpperCamelCasing naming

 - Add option to remove double "split" characters

 - Add a preview of URL in products and news like Pages

 

Nuno

Hi Nuno - the URL-generator is a really fragile function because of all the rules, we have decided not to add more functionality into it right now. But your suggestion about removing "split" is actually implemented and ready from 8.4.
