Flat URLs 
¶
Flat URLs (like Stack Overflow) for TYPO3
Installation¶
This extension is installable from various sources:
Via Composer:
composer require pagemachine/typo3-flat-urls
From the TYPO3 Extension Repository
From Github
Purpose¶
The purpose of this extension is to enforce so called “flat URLs”
throughout the TYPO3 frontend. Thus instead of
my/deeply/nested/page/ you will always get URLs like 10/page/
(thus page UID and title), no matter the actual page hierarchy managed
in the backend.
Page translations will use the same UID as their original page but with
translated titles. Thus you need to make sure that the language
parameter (L) is part of the URL to avoid duplicate URLs with
multiple translations.
The flat URLs are achieved using RealURL and a fully managed path segment for every page. Whenever the title of a page is changed, its path segment is updated accordingly.
Similar to Stack Overflow pages requested only by page UID will be redirected to their full URL. This means that e.g. https://example.org/10/ redirects to https://example.org/10/page/.
Command¶
If you have existing pages when adding this extension or if you want to
ensure a clean state you can run the flaturls:update CLI command. It
will process all pages and page translations, generate the path segments
and enforces them.
