John Smith	Friday 17 October 2008 4:38:54 am Hi There, Hope some one can help. Actually I installed ezpubish4.0.1 around some time ago. By default all the URLs are with separator "hyphen". But now I want to convert all the URLs with separator "underscore". Is there any easy way to do it. Another thing is it possible to install the future ezpublish with urls/underscores by default. Cheers

Carlos Revillo	Friday 17 October 2008 10:12:22 am after changes suggested by Jean-Luc, all your new contest will get a nice url with underscores. for changing the old ones, you will need to run php bin/php/updateniceurls.php -s yoursiteacces from your Document Root clear caches after that. sometimes i have truncated ezurlalias_ml table before running... i think the updateniceurls.php doesn't delete old entries, so i prefer delete them by myself... hope it helps.

I do this by uncommenting the line: TransformationGroup=urlalias_compat in 'site.ini'. It still creates a few URL's with capitals and hyphens instead of underscores (like /Users/Guest-Accounts) but by just 'editing' and 'publishing' those, the URL's get converted. All new URL's are in /no_caps/using_underscore_for_separator format. Hope this helps.
