Drop? No. Replace? Yes.
Imagine a thread with title Sixlxvi
and a user named sixlxvi
that coincidally have the same ID 925
.
If you dropped the routing information both would generate sixlxvi.925
; would that be the user or the thread?
True. I was thinking it would be fine because you have the member or thread ID in the URL. But I didn't think of them having the same text and ID, as you said.
@Brogan for /forums, would that mean not using the "URL portion" in the node settings, but instead using route filters?
Here is why I made this thread...
I have a node that I want to route filter but the node name changes each month:
forums/rig-of-the-month-august-2020.57/
to
rotm/
is what I use. But because
august
will eventually change to
september
, this route filter will stop working unless I manually change it.
Using "URL portion" in the node settings will do it automatically. It continues to work regardless of the node title. However, using this option gives me
forums/rotm/
, which is what I want to avoid. If I do that first, and then route filter
forums/rotm/
to
rotm/
, would that be a double route filter and break things?
I also tried a workaround of route filtering the node ID only, but that doesn't actually work:
forums/57/
to
rotm/
-- I figured this would continue to work regardless of the node title but it doesn't work in the first place.
About replacing the others globally, how would I do that? Just a general route filter of members/ to m/ for example?
