[TYPO3-english] CoolURI and speaking URL path segment

[Pero Matic]

CoolURI generates URL's by getting page title - that's fine. Now, if u have
a page titled "foo" and user doesn't want URL to be:

"site.com/foo"

but

"site.com/bar.html"

how can he do that? I know this can easilly be done by using CoolURI
interface and setting custom page link with sticky set. But i try to make it
simple for my users so they don't have to use CoolURI interface. There is a
field called Speaking URL path segment in page properties. Is it possible to
use this? Problem is that i can enter only "simple" words in this field.
Filenames like:

bar.html or paths like bar/foo/something don't work. Thx!

Just have a look at the XML:

<!-- first non-empty value will be used -->
<title>tx_realurl_pathsegment,alias,subtitle,title</title>

Hm, that's just the order in which the fields will be processed but that's
not the problem. The problem is that if i write in Speaking URL path segment
field something like:

"foo.html" or "foo/bar/something"

it will be converted to "foohtml" and "foobarsomething". So, i suppose this
is processed by CoolURI - special chars are removed. Is there a possibility
to leave those chars if used in Speaking URL path segment field ? THX!

Hm, maybe I'm wrong here. Maybe it's processed by TYPO3? Anyway, is there a
way to disable such a behaviour?

Chars [^a-zA-Z0-9] + "-" are replaced with "-". There is no option that
would change this behavior, yet.

That's within CoolURI but it seems TYPO3 also does some processing. Btw.
Jan, how to make this with CoolURI. If i want some page to have url like:

site.com/something.html

while others have their url generated by page title.

I can do that with CoolURI interface - manully setting the link and sticky
but is there some TYPO3 way to do it? I tried with "Alias" field and
"Speaking URL path segment" field but it doesn't work because "." is
removed. THX!

something can be alias and .html can be set as urlsuffix. You can
defined when urlsuffix should be appended with simple regexp.
