How can I remove the underscore from the url generated by file_download_link ?

Do you mean in this type of URL?

http://www.example.com/file_download/2/example.zip

Yes!

I think it’s on line 309 of publish.php in Textpattern 4.5.4

$out['s'] = 'file_download';

I don’t think there’s a way to change it without manually amending the core though.

Thanks!

Setting 'file_download' => 'myFileDownload' in wet_babble could be a plugin alternative, though it depends on what you need exactly.

My purpose is to remove underscores from file link.
From this:

http://www.domain.it/file_download/etc...

to this:

http://www.domain.it/file-download/etc...

for example.

Should the modified links still be treated as txp file download links? Then try 'file_download' => 'file-download' in wet_babble. Otherwise, you can pass them trough rah_replace, but Textpattern won’t recognize them as download links anymore.

It works!

Fine (edit: save in messy mode)! I guess you can add some file_download string to txp_lang table to get the same result.

Just curious as to why you’d want to change that URL in the first place?

Because of SEO checker tool:

Great, you are not using ‪‬underscores (these_are_underscores) in your URLs.
While Google™ treats hyphens (these-are-hyphens) as word separators, it does not treat underscores as word separators.

It was report as an error in the site review. It doesn’t have a big impact as well…
