URLs and redirects

[Michael C. Harris]

I'm slowly reducing the blocks to moving to Habari, when I have the
time. My current issue is URLs. I have my current blog set up using
date based permalinks:

www.example.com/2007/12/21/this-is-the-slug

Habari imports this as:
www.example.com/this-is-the-slug

I quite like the date based URL because it's got a built-in temporal
context. Is this possible in Habari?

If I can't have that, what are my redirect options? I would think the
best option is a 301 Moved Permanently. Has someone done this already?

cheers, Michael

My site displays active custom rewrite rules I have added to the
rewrite_rules table as insert statements at this URL:

http://asymptomatic.net/rewrite_rulez

If you remove this parameter from the regex:
(?P<id>\\d+)/

And this part from the build string:
{$id}/

That will get you the URLs you are looking for. Habari will also
continue to answer for URLs with the slug at the root.

Hi Owen I just tried your rewrite rules but it is not working.
The links are being created correctly but during the page loading the
link url changes to www.example.com/2007/{$mon0}/{$mday0}/this-is-the-slug
which is obviously chucking up a property of a non object.
Unless I'm missing something, which is quite possible as this is my
first dive into Habari. Think I might do a bit of reading first ;)

Maybe this this code will help you out..

INSERT INTO rewrite_rules (name, parse_regex, build_str, handler,
action, priority, is_active, rule_class, description) VALUES
('display_entry', '%(?P<year>\\d{4})/(?P<mon0>\\d{2})/(?P<mday0>\
\d{2})/(?P<slug>[^/]+)[/]{0,1}$%i', '{$year}/{$mon0}/{$mday0}/
{$slug}', 'UserThemeHandler', 'display_post', '8', '1', '0', '');

As written, Chis and Owen's rewrite rules didn't work for me
(using SQLite). But if I changed all '\\' to '\', they worked fine.

[Funky Larma]

Nope I'm still getting the url changed during loading.
Could it be a Dreamhost issue, it normally is!

[Funky Larma]

Right I have solved the changing of the url during load, it was a mess
up between Route301 and the re-write rules for Habari.
So now all url's are changed to the new style and they stay that way
during load but now I'm getting an "Uncaught Exception: Exception:
Trying to get property of non-object" error on page load.

Any ideas?

Put the following line at the bottom of your config.php

define( 'DEBUG', true );

Now access your site. You should get a comprehensive error message to
post here.

I believe that this error has been corrected in the svn HEAD version of
Habari. Can you try updating or installing the latest development
version from http://habariproject.org/dist ?
