[plugin] [ORPHAN] sgb_url_handler - support all url variations at the same time

kemie · 2005-06-22 18:48:42

andreas, did you do sgbs recommendations for getting section/category/title permalinks?

andreas · 2005-06-22 19:06:30

No, I didn’t. But I thought that they were intended to be used with the original <txp:permlink> tags. But since I use mic_permlink I don’t need this — or am I mistaken?

kemie · 2005-06-22 20:27:41

ok, i’ve never used feeds with txp, but wouldn’t your feeds come out with the default permlink scheme (section/category/title) and solve your problem?

Oh what?! Now something else doesn’t work :(

Links to my category pages look like this: doggiez.nl/rubriek/clickertraining, where ‘rubriek’ is what I have in the language file for ‘category’, and ‘clickertraining’ is the name of the category.

I understood I had to change this:

$schemes[‘_category’] = ‘/% _category%/% category%’;

into this:

$schemes[‘_category’] = ‘/% _rubriek%/% category%’;

but I’m getting 404s. So I must be wrong. But what should I do then?

(I had to add spaces to show the %)

doggiez -

Actually you don’t need to change anything. Keywords starting with an underscore like %_category% are locale specific, e.g. for my install of TxP (EN-US) %_category% literally translates to “category” while for an install of TxP using Spanish (ES-ES) %_category% literally translates to “categoría”.

If you’ve modified you language file and changed your category translation to <code>category => rubriek</code> than %_category% would translate to “rubriek”.

If you haven’t changed your language file and you still want to have category URLs starting with “rubriek” all you need to do is add a scheme like <code>$schemes[‘my_category’] = ‘/rubriek/%category%’;</code> to the config function in sgb_url_handler. In this way rubriek is matched as a literal word and not mapped to any variables.

I hope this helps!

At the moment I’m not ;)

What I was thinking with the 410, particularly, was that if I delete an article it’s more appropriate to return “410 Gone” than “404 Not Found”; also, that way most search spiders and the like will stop trying to index it. As for the 403, I just thought it’d be handy to have for sites which use TXP’s password-protection features.

Hi,
First off, sgb, THANK YOU- this solves so many problems for me!

Second, am I missing something? I did peruse pages of posts, but with this new version, should date-based urls also be working now in current versions of rc3?

Thanks!

…but wouldn’t your feeds come out with the default permlink scheme (section/category/title) and solve your problem?

Feeds are generated based on the URL scheme set in the preferences and there it’s not possible to get section/category/title — so all URLs that are generated by TXP instead of by a plugin tag come out as section/title; ideally, sgb_url_handler would translate all these into the proper ones on the fly. It does this in theory but I can’t get it to work for all of my site.

But then, I’ll have to clean up some things URL-wise, perhaps. When I have some spare time I might try to use the new permlink tag of the plugin instead of mic_permlink. Would that make any difference?

Well, I changed it back to the original code, and still got 404s. I’m using the en-gb.txt language file, with just a few modifications.

If you haven’t changed your language file and you still want to have category URLs starting with “rubriek” all you need to do is add a scheme like <code>$schemes[‘my_category’] = ‘/rubriek/%category%’;</code> to the config function in sgb_url_handler. In this way rubriek is matched as a literal word and not mapped to any variables.

Though I shouldn’t have to if I understand you correctly, I added that line of code, and now everything is working fine again.

Thank you again for your help!

andreas, i beg to differ. following sgb’s instructions for customization , i get section/category/title permlinks BY DEFAULT (set in the txp preferences). I promise. Just try it!

I don’t. I’ve tried that before and I have the setting in the preferences but it doesn’t have any effect. If I choose section/category/title there, TXP still produces section/title URLs.

I still don’t know what that was been inserted into the core code of TXP, and deleted later. Did I miss something ?
