Remove site name from PAGE_LINK

jstephan

Hi,

When I link a .page, it uses $PAGE_LINK[about-us/team] and it generates the link as /sitename/about-us/team.page on the HTML source. Is there anyway to remove the sitename from the PAGE_LINK functionality?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you
John

Not easily. You would need to overwrite the page_link token method and also alter the handler for the URL requests. I've not attempted this approach, so I can't help with any specifics.

In our case, we use $URL_ALIAS in place of $PAGE_LINK, which means you can use anything you want (as long as it's unique). However, this also involves some work to remap the relevant .page path to it's appropriate alias via the site map.

Essentially we generate the appropriate aliases when we update/publish the site map. Then replace the page links with page aliases via a component external.

I've done this in a few different ways (option B is to subclass the RuntimeRequestContext and to override getPageLink() and related methods). Point is there is no easy/configurable way to do this provided ootb by the platform, and this is hard enough that it shouldn't be attempted unless you're intimately familiar with java webapp development.

Yes, exactly this is what I want. But the URL_ALIAS adds .alias on all the links as the page!

Is there any setting to update that to use .page, not the .alias ?

The ".alias" suffix only appears on "preview". When the page is deployed to the runtime it doesn't have. It won't have the "token/ID" hash either.

Eg.

"/iw-preview/5261649563ef7a2/hef5z8es/path/to/page.alias" will become "/path/to/page".

You need to handle in the xsl code. The link "/sitename/about-us/team.page" which is returning in your case should be replaced by /about-us/team.page.

This is easy to handle in the xsl code. Let me know if it works or I will let u know the logic to implement it.

We also use the $URL_ALIAS[...] for URLs for linking to pages.
We use $URL_PREFIX for images etc...
Notice that the $URL_PREFIX ends with / so what follows should not start with a /.

For example: <img src="$URL_PREFIXimages/icon.png" ... >

Just remember all the page tokens are process AFTER the XSL is processed. Therefore trying to remove the /sitename/ can't be done in XSL. You can do it in JavaScript after the fact, but that's not the solution I would choose.

Actually the site name is included all the links on the runtime environment. Is there anyway to remove that from the source code? I am able to do a rewrite URL rule on the webserver end, but the sitename is on the source code.

For eg:
http://www.domain.com/about-us/overview.page is in the browser URL. But the source for link for this page is actually: http://www.domain.com/en-us/about-us/overview.page

Thank you.
