+ Slugs in Horde Applications



++ What is a slug?



Derived from slugs in newspaper editing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug_%28production%29





++ Slug specification for Horde



- Slugs are letters (upper or lower case), numbers, underscore (_) and dash (-). The PCRE regex is: [a-zA-Z0-9_-]+

- how long?

- what about periods?





++ 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.")
