Slugs in Horde Applications
What is a slug?
wikipedia link, etc.
Slug specification for Horde
- allowed characters
- length
Autogeneration
JavaScript support
URL rewriting
- you can't create slugs with hyphens or underscores, even though these are valid in urls
- the character limit is quite short (longer titles can be useful for SEO).
====
and a few usability enhancements...
- javascript to auto-generate the slug based on the form title would be nice. Similar to how EE does things, when the slug field is empty, as a user types in the page title, the slug is generated, converting spaces to underscores or hyphens (could be config, or default to underscore). Once the slug input has a value, changing the title doesn't change the slug.
- display a warning if a user tries to change the slug after a form has already been saved ("Warning: changing the slug will cause the link for this form to change.")
