Is it possible to change the use of underscores to dashes in nice URLs?

There is no config option for this. You must do a change in kernel/classes/ezcontentobjecttreenode.php. In the pathWithNames() function you will find two preg_replace expressions. Change underscore to - in the second array argument in both preg_replace calls. Then rerun update/common/scripts/updateniceurls.php.

Thanks Gunnstein!

I'm not sure if I want to make the change badly enough to tinker with code that may be overwrittein in future upgrades. I have to keep track of enough changes as it is. :) It would be nice if future versions of eZ publish provided this as a setting during setup or within the site.ini as the URLs delimiters can have a direct impact on search engine ranking.

Thanks again,

Alex

Has anyone been able to find where this moved to in the 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9 versions? It is no longer in the ezcontentobjecttreenode.php that I can see.

Hi Mark

It is converted by eZ's transliteration system ( http://ezpedia.org/wiki/en/ez/transliteration ), in eZURLAlias::convertToAlias. The different commands are listed in transform.ini. The one you're looking for is url_cleanup. At the end, you'll have to look at the top of eZCodeMapper::generateCommandCode and eZCodeMapper::executeCommandCode, where preg_replace is transforming your url.

Good luck!

<b>Edit:</b> apparently this question has been answered before: http://ez.no/community/forum/general/transformation_url_transliteration. I did make a nice trip however through the kernel and lib to find it out :-)
