Shorten Url Slug like vivaldi.club

theredlocknetwork

Hello,
I was wondering whether it would be possible to shorten the url to just the number, like what they do with vivaldi.club?
Example url: https://vivaldi.club/d/118 (which is, coincidentally, the url for this tutorial)
On that page there is this tutorial:

sed -i "s# + '-' + discussion.slug()##" \
    vendor/flarum/core/js/forum/dist/app.js \
    vendor/flarum/core/js/forum/src/initializers/routes.js
sed -i "s# . '-'.*##" \
    vendor/flarum/core/views/index.blade.php

The thing is, I have no clue as to what to do with this.
Any help, please?

Then you probably shouldn't be messing with it ?
Further that it modifies core files which will be overwritten upon a update and could break your install
This would be better fitted for a extension.
Before doing anything like this, backup the files and database and expect things to go bad.

Warnings and precautions aside, this is a terminal command that does a substitute and replace of text of 3 different files.

What it does exactly is outside of my limited sed knowledge ? but it apparently is run from the root directory of the flarum install (not /)

Aha, that's my site ?

Just run sed command in the root directory of flarum ?
