how to remove discussion-title in url ?
this :
https://site.com/d/20-discussion-title

change to :

nooriemad08 I don't think there's any easy solution. It requires changes to both frontend and backend, and backend might not be possible to change without forking Flarum core.

On the javascript side you can take a look into the app.route.discussion(), app.route.post(), app.route.* methods and such which are used to generate links inside of the single page app.

EDIT: an easier solution could maybe be to just replace the slug generator with a custom generator which always returns an empty string. I have not tested that, but no slug is appended if none is saved for the discussion.

You may have a look at the extension URL Transliterator by FriendsOfFlarum and fork it to your needs. This shouldn't be too difficult as datitisev has added an extender for developers/forum owners to add their own methods.

Prosperous

There are now two discussions about the same subject. nooriemad08 Do you want me to lock this discussion or the other one?

nooriemad08

clarkwinkelmann

there's no way ?
No plugins for this?

clarkwinkelmann

nooriemad08 there are no existing extensions I'm aware of.

I assumed you were trying to develop such an extension yourself as you posted in the Dev tag.

nooriemad08

can you help me ?

I withdraw my offer to help. Prosperous was just asking how to react to your fault (opening two discussions about thesame topic), he doesn't deserve such a rude comment.

Pollux You misunderstood that my language is not English and I am translating using Google
Forgive my mistake
I mean, I made two arguments for a wrong topic
very very sry 🙁

nooriemad08 as has been stated above, it doesn't look like there an extension that does EXACTLY what you're looking for, but as Pollux mentioned above, there are similar extensions that you could fork / base your work of. In other words, it's possible, but you're going to need to do a bit of coding to make it happen.

nooriemad08

askvortsov Unfortunately, I don't know anything about coding
Do I need to install and edit another package?

Littlegolden

nooriemad08 If you are in urgent need of this function, you can modify the core file, please note that after the core file is modified, the changes will be lost in the next update of the flarum, please make a backup of the original file.

Run the following command in the flarum installation directory:

sed -i '/discussion->slug/d' \
	vendor/flarum/core/src/Api/Serializer/BasicDiscussionSerializer.php
sed -i -r 's#(discussion->id).*$#\1#' \
  vendor/flarum/core/views/frontend/content/index.blade.php
sed -i '/idWithSlug =/s/\..*$/;/' \
	vendor/flarum/core/src/Forum/Content/Discussion.php
sed -i 's#+(i.trim()?"-"+i:"")##' \
  vendor/flarum/core/js/dist/forum.js
  
# Prevent amaurycarrade/flarum-ext-syndication from generating slug
sed -i "s# . '-' . \$discussion->attributes->slug##" \
	vendor/amaurycarrade/flarum-ext-syndication/src/Controller/DiscussionFeedController.php \
	vendor/amaurycarrade/flarum-ext-syndication/src/Controller/DiscussionsActivityFeedController.php

# Prevent fof/split from generating slug
sed -i 's#-{\$slug}##' \
	vendor/fof/split/src/Posts/DiscussionSplitPost.php
sed -i 's#-{\$event->discussion->slug}##' \
	vendor/fof/split/src/Listeners/UpdateSplitTitleAfterDiscussionWasRenamed.php


# Prevent flagrow/sitemap from generating slug
sed -i 's# . '-' . $discussion->slug##' \
	vendor/flagrow/sitemap/src/SitemapGenerator.php
sed -i 's# . '-' . $page->slug##' \
	vendor/flagrow/sitemap/src/SitemapGenerator.php

As Littlegolden mentioned, his solution is not a stable one. You should try to avoid changes to the core files whenever possible. It looks fine now, but it will give you a lot of headaches later.

Coming back to my suggestion earlier to use the Transliterator extension. I asked the maintainer of that extension how to add your goal as a special kind of "transliterator". Here is his answer:

datitisev

Pollux That can actually be achieved very easily through extend.php

<?php return [
    (new \FoF\Transliterator\Extend())
        ->add('blank', function (string $str) {
            return '';
        })
];

You find extend.php in your flarum folder, you can edit it to your needs without having to worry for the future. Of course you need to install URL Transliterator by FriendsOfFlarum as well.

Where do we put this code?

Littlegolden

Pollux I can say that this is the most convenient and perfect solution at the moment.

nooriemad08 Find extend.php under vendor/fof/URL Transliterator folder

nooriemad08 Where do we put this code?

It's described in my last post.

clarkwinkelmann

Littlegolden no, it goes in the local extend.php that's outside of vendor. Any change in vendor will be lost.
