New RealURL was just sent to TER. This is version 1.5.0. It includes three new features:

  • A checkbox to exclude page from the URL. The checkbox is available in page properties. Excluding many pages is supported. Thus if you have a path like http://example.com/page-1/page-2/page-3/, you now can get http://example.com/page-3/ by checking a box on "Page 1" and "Page 2".
  • Paths with language variables now can be converted to domains. For example, if you had http://www.example.com/es/page/, now it can become http://www.example.es/page/ without third-party tricks or mod_rewrite rules. Credit for the patch goes to Oliver Hader.
  • RealURL now can determine rootpage_id more reliable than before.

Bug fixes include:

  • "Speaking path segment" now can be localized. This allows also RealURL paths for languages like Arabic or Chinese
  • Shortcuts will not produce paths to the destination page (avoids duplicate content)
  • Clarified Backend form for redirects
  • noMatch=bypass prevented decoding fileName on the root level (fixed)
  • ® and ™ in the address are now correctly recognized
  • deleted language overlays are no longer seached for localized pages

Lots of bug fixes are closed as duplicates or "unable to reproduce". It is possible that some of them were fixed as a part of other bug fixes.

    Hey Dmitry!

    Nice to read!
    I tried "Exclude from speaking URL" for my tt_news SINGLE page, but tt_news generates still links with the pagename inside (which don't work).

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Wow, those new features rock! Excluding a page from the path was a long-awaited features. Thanks for implementing it (and for all the rest too).

    Steffen, if you use a postVar on that page, you should not exclude it. Exclduing is possible in the middle. This way you hide pages without content, sysfolders, etc. If you exclude the last page, it will show you the page before it and apply all postVars to previous page.

    I think you are still getting the same path because you need to clear RealURL cache. It should be done automatically when check box is changed but there can be a bug of course.

    Thomas, unified diff would be ok.

    I just installed it with the "Enable automatic configuration" option. .htacces and the Template are set up as per manual. The homepage is fine, but on subsequent pages I get the following error:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined method tx_realurl::findRootPageIdByHost() in /wwwroot/typo3/www.frappant.ch/typo3conf/ext/realurl/class.tx_realurl_advanced.php on line 646

    Question: In the new autoconfiguring system, where do I define the rootpage?

    While testing the new release, I noticed that the path-exclusion checkbox is disabled for pages of type spacer (and sysfolder). is there a deeper meaning to that? any way to activate that?
    thanks,
    thorsten

    Hey Dmitry,

    Can you explain what benefits "RealURL now can determine rootpage_id more reliable than before" really give?

    Thorsten's question seems to make sense to me. We would typically put a number of 'root'pages into a folder to group them for display somewehere on the site. It would be nice if the exclude option is also available sysfolders.

    @Matthias

    You have to define the rootpage in the BE...
    just edit your first page in tree and set it as root.
