Use id for url

Sao Tavi	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?
Gaetano Giunta	Friday 27 May 2011 8:38:52 am I suppose you know you can use /content/view/full/$nodeid and that it would not suit your needs, correct? Because using these urls all content objects are created equal... As for data that is not readable by other users: this is a problem of permissions, not of urls. Because if you do not use permissions to block access to a given node, it will show up both in search results and when using the /content/view/full/$nodeid url syntax Principal Consultant International Business Member of the Community Project Board
Marko Žmak	Friday 27 May 2011 8:57:25 am 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! Hubert Farnsworth
Sao Tavi	Friday 27 May 2011 10:29:13 am Thank you for your replies. Gaetano, yes, but how can I get that url? I mean... Using url instead of url_alias (in fetch ('content', 'list'..)) makes no difference. The documentation says that it depends "on a configuration setting", but that does not help much. Marko, yes, you are right. So the user id part seems to be a wrong idea. So only the first option still stands.

Sao Tavi	Friday 27 May 2011 10:45:45 am Yes, sorry, I was ambiguous. So I have a new class that in it's template gets it's subitems with fetch(content, list). I should have said directly in class ezcontentobjecttreenode.
