Hi, does anyone have idea, how to automatically modify/generate url from
page title so that the url doesn't contains accents or any special
characters. I want to achieve simmilar approach used in CMS system Umbraco.
Which creates url based on page title but strips spaces and any characters
that requires url encoding.
I've found xwiki.urlfactory.serviceclass in xwiki.cfg. What is
responsibility of that class? What is it purpose? Can it be used to solve
my requirement?
XWiki supports lots of languages out of the box (you just need to configure the encoding
properly). Actually we’ve gone to great length to ensure that any character is valid in
page and space names! :)
May I ask why you would want to strip some characters?
Now you shouldn’t act at the level of the URLs since the URLs are just used to find the
corresponding document in XWiki. If you strip some char from the URL then you won’t be
able to point a URL to an existing document anymore ;)
So what you really want is instead to act at the level of document creation (the Add Page
dialog box) and do the stripping there IMO.
However ATM we don’t provide any extension point for doing this so you’d need to modify
the corresponding vm file (create.vm I think, which calls other vms) and do future merges
of that file by hand whenever you upgrade your XWiki instance in the future.
I recommend to reconsider going in that direction and instead letting XWiki handle all
chars.

Hi, I’m using XWiki in Slovak language which uses
accents, which
consequently causes problems with urls. The urls becomes ugly containing
encoded characters with accents. Does XWiki have integration point out of
the box to replace the page name with custom one, with stripped accents
from it?
Thank you
