Shorter Archive URLs?

[boone]

Is is easy to shorten the archive URLs that S9Y uses?

I'd prefer this:
http://boonedocks.net/mike/index.php?/a ... River.html

To be this:
http://boonedocks.net/mike/index.php?/archives/25.html

Or:
http://boonedocks.net/mike/index.php?/25

If this is only possible by hacking the code, please let me know which files I should be editing.

Thanks.

Well, it's a quick hack. Open your serendipity_functions.inc.php - find the function serendipity_archiveURL() which does what you want.

You may need to adjust the file serendipity_config.inc.php and all the PAT_* constants. They define the RegEx patterns to recognize the true URL.

However, you should note that doing so you will vastly degrade google indexing for your entries and easy recognition of your URL from other users. I don't suggest you to change this intended behaviour...
