Customisable Permalinks

[ErisDS]

Ghost should be able to support the common

/year/month/day/title/

format, as well as the current flat

/title/

Other formats may be added, but making Ghost support 2 is a big enough task for one issue :)

For now, the UI to switch over should be a checkbox on the general settings screen.

Would it make sense to approach this more as "flexible permalinks" rather than "2 permalink structures" ? Eg. how wordpress allows you to make up your own /%post-title%/%year%/%hamster%/ if you want

(from an implementation pov)

[ErisDS]

Valid question, but it doesn't matter at this stage - we have no UI for this at the moment so might as well be a switch you can flip or a checkbox or whatever.

Point of this issue is to refactor Ghost such that the permalink structure is not baked in, then we can make a fancy way of specifying what the permalink should be as a further enhancement.

Should we leave this open to track the UI and live reloading stuff as well?

[ErisDS]

Yeah I think so :)

[ErisDS]

Is there anything more to do on this?

[jgillich]

Just the UI.

Ok cool, I'll open #1631 instead 👍

Leaving this here, link to express's path to regex function. We could use this when allowing for even greater permalink functionality.

[16:39:59] <hswolff> and then you can make a route of '/(.*)' and compare that against the current setting's permalink req.param[0].match(permalinkRegex)
