Serendipity Forums

I'm back after a break and working on my Vanity URL plugin.

I have the plugin working so that http://www.example.com/blog/clintg displays the users posts. The issue I have now is that the next and previous page URLs are broken.

I end up with a URL like http://www.example.com/blog/clintg/P2.html

How can I change the next and previous links? So I get a proper URL like: http://example.com/blog/authors/5-clintg/P2.html

From looking through the source code it appears that (for the example above) I need to somehow populate $serendipity['uriArguments'] with the values 'authors', and '5-clintg' so that serendipity_printEntryFooter() can generate the proper links to next and previous pages. I try to set them in my plugin but it doesn't seem to have any effect (maybe overwritten later?).

Thanks

Hi!

The next/prev links are built based on $serendipity['uriArguments'] which in turn is based on $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']. So you might want to modify either of those within the serendipity 'frontend_configure' event hook with an event plugin.

HTH,

Thanks Garvin!

That did the trick. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction.
Now to figure out how to gracefully fail when some one uses a nonexistent username.

Not sure if this matters to you, but the path to authors/ is a configuration value.... it could be changed to anything, ie writers/.
