Maarten Holland	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
Kristof Coomans	Wednesday 24 January 2007 10:29:35 am Hi Maarten I made a patch which adds a second naming pattern to content classes, which is used for the url aliases (instead of the object name pattern).

Maarten Holland	Thursday 08 February 2007 1:35:42 pm 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
Maarten Holland	Wednesday 28 February 2007 1:23:15 pm Hi Kristof, Perhaps you can help me out once again. I'd like to use a datetime for the URL of weblog entries. This is working, but the URL's are automatically formatted like monday_august_13_2006_08_23_00_pm and it seems this can't be overriden manually. Could you think of a way I could choose the format for the date and time in the URL to achieve a more desirable short format like 20060823-8-23PM or perhaps 2006-08-23-8-23-PM? Cheers! Maarten
Xavier Dutoit	Wednesday 28 February 2007 11:53:29 pm 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. X+ http://www.sydesy.com
