Localize the stop word list?

jorisw

Hi,

I'm setting up a forum in a different language. Can I localize the stopwords (the, any, is, etc) that get left out of URL slugs?

jorisw

I see now that there is no stop word filtering in the URL slugs. Any plug-ins that do this?

I believe you are looking for the Url() method in Gdn_Format. You can find it on line 1191 in /library/core/class.format.php.

I suggest you tread lightly when modifying core files. Any modifications cannot be community supported. Basically, you are on your own!

Thank you. Will I be able to modify the URL functionality by writing a plug-in?

hgtonight

No. The framework uses an autoloader to load the framework files. Since a plugin hooks into events fired once the framework is up and running, it would be impossible for it to modify the absolute core functionality.

If I had to accomplish this same feat, I would fork the class.format.php file and maintain it through version updates.

Please, someone tell me there is a better way.

Thank you. I'll dig into this. Does the same go for localizing the URLs? E.g. discussion/* -> somethingelse/* .

Just rewriting words in a url can be done in an .htaccess file, no?

As far as printing out these urls, you would have to do a little more hacking. This thread might be helpful.
