Hi,

I have the below content structure.

- site

- de

- category1

- 2001

- quarter1

- blog_about_vegan

- blog_about_flowers

- quarter2

- blog_about_something

- 2002

- quarter1

- blog_about_vegan

- blog_about_flowers

- quarter2

- blog_about_something

I want customers to use shorthand urls. For instance; Customer should get blog_about_vegan when he tries the following url : https://www.somedomain.com/site/de/category1/blog_about_vegan. He should not be worried about the year and quarter as they are just meant for categorization.

I have configured sling mappings in /etc/map to remap the url to search for content in /content. But i am not able to figure out how can I ask sling to look into all year and quarter folders for a particular category to find this article. something like a dynamic internal redirect with nested search capability. could you please advice

I believe you need to use dynamic redirects which can be implemented at the apache level(mod_rewrite module). Check [1] for more details:

Hi,

Which page should be displayed if user entered the url /quarter1/blog_about_vegan ?

2001/quarter1/blog_about_vegan

Or

2002/quarter1/blog_about_vegan

I would not recommend to use filters to change the resource in the request; might work, but it's not really intuitive and also heavily depends on the order of the filters. Maybe a custom resource provider is more in line with Sling and could help here. It's also more generic and works then with all resource-based functionality of sling, and is not tied to a request.

If I'm not wrong, a combination of Sling Filters and Processors might work for this use case.

I tried these configurations. But I cannot make it work for the year and quarter parts of the url which are unknown and supposed to be dynamic

I could use Vanity url as a solution. But Either the author have to manually add Vanity url for each page, which i dont want or I have to dynamically generate a vanity url based on the parent path and set it in workflow step.

But I was moreover looking to do this as a configuration in sling mapping.
