Wiki URL format

Added by Takeo Sato over 10 years ago

Is it possible to customize the format of the URL part that is autogenerated when creating a new page?

Instead of “New_child_page” I would like it to be “new-child-page” (lowercase initial, lowercase body, hyphen as word separator).

This more like the format used for auto-generated project identifiers.

As a feature wish, it would be great if such a “WordPress style” vs. “Wikipedia style” preference could be set with a single option, given that both are quite well-defined and popular formats.

Hello Takeo,

thanks for your post.
Which version of OpenProject do you use?
When creating a child page in OpenProject 4.0, the path ends in “…/new” when creating a new child page:

Good point about the WYSIWYG editor:
It is planned to add the option to activate a WYSIWYG editor to OpenProject (#18039).
When there is a more concrete plan when to implement this, the item will be added to the development timeline.

Best,
Robin

Hello Robert,

Thank you for your reply.

Which version of OpenProject do you use?

I am using openproject-demo.org, so I suppose it is the latest?

When creating a child page in OpenProject 4.0, the path
ends in “…/new” when creating a new child page:

OK, but after the page has been written, the page URL part is something like “Page_title”. I’d like it to be “page-title”. Right now it cannot even be renamed manually (if you do, it will be auto-renamed to “Page-title”). I agree with the fact that whatever style (e.g. uppercase initial, use of capitals vs. lowercase, chosen separator, etc.) has been set system-wide, it should be enforced, but I’d like to be able to choose that style.

Good point about the WYSIWYG editor:

I actually would not have made that a user-selectable editing option, but rather a global setting.

More in general, I see great potential in the Wiki functionality of OpenProject. By having group/project-based access control it positions itself between MediaWiki and SharePoint for many things. And this feature I mentioned here (WordPress-style document name URLs) has often been requested by MediaWiki users.
