How can I use RealUrl to shorten the url from the tx_news detail view?

Question

What I like about TYPO3: 1000 ways lead to Rome.

Here is my attempt which on TYPO3 7.6 and tx_news 5.2 offers nice Url's in Detail view: http://pastebin.com/BzgUpsCH

How can I shorten the url from "detail/"

Thanks for your hints.

Answer 1

First "way to rome":

plugin.tx_news {
        settings {
                link {
                        skipControllerAndAction = 1
                }
        }
}

Second:

[globalVar = GP:tx_news_pi1|news > 0]
  config.defaultGetVars {
    tx_news_pi1 {
      controller=News
      action=detail
    }
  }
[global]

Another way to short you URL:

use Below encoded and decoded function in realURLconfiguration file:

• 'encodeSpURL_postProc' => array('user_encodeSpURL_postProc'),
  • function user_encodeSpURL_postProc(&$params, &$ref) {
    $params['URL'] = str_replace('News/Details/', 'News/', $params['URL']); }

• 'decodeSpURL_preProc' => array('user_decodeSpURL_preProc'),

  • function user_decodeSpURL_preProc(&$params, &$ref) {
    $params['URL'] = str_replace('News/', 'News/Details/', $params['URL']); }
