silverstripe-urlsegmenter
=========================

[](#silverstripe-urlsegmenter)

Adds an extension to add a URLSegment to any SilverStripe DataObject and manages slug collisions.

That is, it does the basic lifting of:

- Adding a `URLSegment` field of type `DBVarchar` to your object
- Provides an optional update to object's CMS Fields, inserting a URLSegment field (enable this via config yml)
- Auto-generates URLSegment based on object Title field

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

SilverStripe 6.x

(See branch 3.x for Silverstripe 4 & 5 support.)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

`composer require fromholdio/silverstripe-urlsegmenter`

Upgrading from 1.x/2.x to 3.x/4.x
---------------------------------

[](#upgrading-from-1x2x-to-3x4x)

There are new config variables, which maintain the same default effect, however if you are overriding them in your projects you will need to update to the new variable names:

```
private static $urlsegmenter_force_title = true;
private static $urlsegmenter_enable_field = false;

```

Are now toggled via:

```
private static $urlsegmenter_forced = true;
private static $urlsegmenter_cmsfield_enabled = false;

```

Usage example
-------------

[](#usage-example)

It's all plug-n-play once you apply the extension to your data object - with one exception.

To allow the extension to auto-generate a slug and manage collisions, you need to tell the extension what the scope of the collection you're setting the URLSegment within is.

```
class Widget extends DataObject
{
    // or apply via config.yml
    private static $extensions = [
        URLSegmenter::class
    ];

    private static $db = [
        'Title' => 'Varchar'
    ];

    private static $has_one = [
        'WidgetCategory' => WidgetCategory::class
    ];

    public function getURLSegmenterScope()
    {
        return self::get()
            ->filter('WidgetCategoryID' => $this->WidgetCategoryID)
            ->exclude('ID', $this->ID);
    }
}
```
