[Typo3-dev] Speaking URIs -

[Ingo]

Hello all,
hello Martin,

during the last weeks we had some research and basic developing for our 
own extension redarging speaking URI support. We also had a deep look in 
  Jan Rörhich's extension.

If we can help developing, testing, speed up this extension, please send 
PM to: typo3 (at) marketing-factory.de

> Hi all,

> You are just a little bit too early with your questions! :)
> I'm developing an extension for speaking URLs already. It currently
> supports the following features:
> 
> - URLS are cached, so translating between URLs and IDs is very fast
> 
> - Pagetitles can contain spaces and characters like /.,&@ etc, the URL
> will still be nice
> 
> - URLS are generated as nice-looking lowercase paths
> 
> - If a page is renamed, the old URL can still be used (see expireDays in
> the Reference), so if the page was indexed by e.g. Google, it can still
> be found
> 
> - It can handle different frames (or other pagetypes)
> 
> - URLs are multilingual: if you're browsing in Dutch, you'll see Dutch
> URLs
> 
> - Once configured the systems works fully automatic, creating new and
> updating existing URLs
> 
> - You can easily see where shortcuts are pointing to, as the 'target'
> URL is generated, instead of the URL to the shortcut itself
> 
> I'm still working on a few things though: the extension didn't support a
> typo3-installation other than in the document-root (I only have to test
> that a little bit, the rest is finished). Furthermore, multiple domains
> don't work yet, though some of the code for it has already been written,
> I still have to tie the last ends together.
> 
> Currently I'm studying for an exam on Monday so I don't have time to
> finish it right now, but I planned to release the extension by the end
> of next week, including documentation.
> 
> An somewhat older version of my extension is already in use at e.g.
> http://aquamarijn.org, with the multi-language feature disabled (the
> site is only available in Dutch).
> 
> Please be patient for another week! ;)
