Same Site-Alias

[Pierre M.]

Hello all,

use long aliases like parent-parent-parent-alias and write new rewrite rule that maps / to - character. this might work, but you need to make sure that no other character gets mungled to - (atm at least / does

Clever ! Smart ! Very nice ! You rock !-)
It is sooooo KISS, it is a wonderful-simple-powerful idea

We can say that this is a way to have hierarchies without hierarchies but still hierarchies. Thanks to you, rewritting and CMSms.

wanna rewrite set alias function to do this automatically and write new .htaccess also

but I think it needs to be behind some config switch...

...automatically...

Great !
I hope this simplicity and flexibility feature will be in 2.0.
Have fun coding

Did you ever find a good solution to your problem about identical aliases?

I think the suggestion made by tsw would be very nice:

use long aliases like parent-parent-parent-alias and write new rewrite rule that maps / to - character. this might work, but you need to make sure that no other character gets mungled to - (atm at least / does

...but unfortunately I have no clue about how to make the rewrite code for the .htaccess file. Any ideas, anyone?

Hello,

I have no answer but I like you have bumped this thread.
I wonder if a replace of the concept of "alias" in CMSms by true URLs would solve this ? Even in ...1.6 ?-)
