If you're a python product developer, you write a method called:: def __before_publishing_traverse__(self, object, request): In self.REQUEST you'll find REQUEST['TraversalRequestNameStack'] which is a list of the bits of the URL. I.e. something like ['Articles', '32042'] depending on your situation. This list you can modify on the fly to suit your needs. For example, what I do is this: Someone enters http://www.peterbe.com/oc-Zope I get a list like ['oc-Zope'] If I in this list finds something that starts with 'oc-' I pop it from REQUEST['TraversalRequestNameStack'] and deal with it separately kind of like this: REQUEST.set('onlycategory', 'Zope') Then in some other part of the site I look for the REQUEST key 'onlycategory'. For the creation of these URLs, I suggest that you wrap all URL references through some function. For example, what was: <a href="ViewArticle?id=32042"> you now do: <a href="<dtml-var "myURLFixer('ViewArticle' articleid=32042)">"> Another example (warning! extremely slow server), is http://home.peterbe.com/issuetrackers/newT/ListIssues/start-10/sortorder-urg... which I think looks better than http://home.peterbe.com/issuetrackers/newT/ListIssues?start=10&sortorder=urg... Use your imagination. On a side note, look at this URL: http://store.doverpublications.com/by-subject-science-and-mathematics-mathem... (not Zope but a nice use of this possibility) Faro wrote:
Hi guys,
I'd like to know if I can solve a simple problem:
I'd like to manage path like that:
www.site.com/Articles/32042
as
www.site.com/Articles/ViewArticle?id=32042
How can I do it?? My method "ViewArticle" is inside the Article folder. There is an easy way to do it?? My articles are loaded form a Database, so I can't create, for every article, a new Document (called with his ID) for displaing it.
tnx a lot, bye
