Document name/url generation

[Dennis Vonk]

Hi,

I am trying to make a utility method usable in Freemarker that generates a string like Hippo does when creating a document and using that in the url. That means:

• replacing all special characters like 'ç' and 'é' to the default value 'c' and 'e'
• replacing all other characters like spaces and questionmarks etc with a '-'
• all to lowercase

Examples:

• 3 - Waarom heb ik nog geen Pakketkorting van Univé ontvangen?
  
• 3---waarom-heb-ik-nog-geen-pakketkorting-van-unive-ontvangen
  

I have been looking inside Hippo code but couldn't find where this functionality is located.

P.S. We use Hippo 10.2.2

Maybe you con consider using org.hippoecm.repository.api.StringCodecFactory.UriEncoding class (in hippo-repository-api jar) to create a custom JSTL function and use it in ftl.

    StringCodec codec = new StringCodecFactory.UriEncoding();

    String encodedUrl = codec.encode(url);

HTH,

Woonsan

On the interweb I found this for a temp solution, which works rather good but doesn't look like a 100% match with Hippo SEO friendly url.

StringCodecFactory.UriEncoding should be better and more consistent since it's used internally by hippo product.

Hi Woonsan, 

I agree with your last remark. So I marked your solution as the final answer and using that in my project.

I already created a custom JSTL function, but needed the correct code.

So thanks for that!
