Node paths falsely imply hackable URLs

Open TravisCarden opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

The URL alias patterns for events, blog posts, and webform imply "hackability" by their use of directory separators (/blog/[node:created:html_month]/[node:title], /event/[node:field_date_time:value-custom:Y]/[node:title], and /form/[node:title]). These give the impression that there are pages at /event and /event/2024, for example. We should either make the URLs truly hackable (i.e., add Views with the appropriate contextual filters) or remove the directory separators from the URLs (e.g., /blog-[node:created:html_month]-[node:title]). c.f. related https://github.com/phenaproxima/starshot-prototype/issues/133.

I'm wondering what most authors who want a blog site would reasonably expect.

I lean towards making these URLs truly hackable, thus providing a "blog archive" functionality right out of the box. I feel like that's what one would expect from a blog site, and a recipe designed to set up a blog. What do you think? Want to file a PR for that?

I think this pretty much closes #105, then. If we're going to make the URLs hackable, then the blog view will be needed!
