XF 2.3 Route Filter CASE structure

[MapleOne]

On our website users get a free market page which is tied to their user name.

So user JimJones

gets a marketpage address: domain.com/market/JimJones

The problem I am having is we capitalize user names like JimJones

Then the route filter only works as domain.com/market/JimJones or domain.com/market/jimjones and not both.

Is there any way to make the route filter NOT case sensitive so someone could type jimjones or JimJones at the end of the address?

I think you have to use the member ID number and not the user name. Look under the route for members and you will get what is used for it. It is something like int:<member_id> or something like that. Sorry, not at home so I can't look what it is.

CaSe SensItivIty is dumb.
No role for it.
Fight me.

I take it this doesn't help ?

One addon said this :

• Action and route matching is now case-insensitive, fixing compatibility with a number of other addons.

it's downloadable

I'll have to research that a bit

I should add that this is in dev mode.

You can install addons to it right?

Set up a web server-level redirect (e.g., in for Apache or ) that detects lowercase versions and redirects to the properly cased version.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/market/([a-z]+)$
RewriteRule ^market/(.*)$ /market/${ucfirst:$1} [R=301,L]

This is a simplistic example—you’d need to match against actual usernames in your database to get the correct casing.

Writing a custom route listener or controller logic should help.

Addons yes

I will have to see if I have access to the .access file

On my site we use something called Market Pages and each user gets a custom URL to their page

ie: domain.com/market/username

The problem I am having is the /username part which is obliviously lower case, but I'm trying to figure out if one types...

domain.com/market/UserName how it could then default to domain.com/market/username without getting an oops.

I suppose I could make two route filters, I did that on a test name and it worked but it seems redundant to do that for every user.

On TwitterX it goes through regardless of caps or not so ideally I would like my...

There is no access on cloud to do that kind of stuff
