with the simple news extension in contao 4.5.10, the search indexing is apparently not working.
the search buildup is confused by the 302 status code.

I don't understand why the system recognizes it as a 302, since per default it should be a 301, right?
Weirdly, the http://301re.direct/ recognizes it as a 301.

To avoid alias collisions between news and pages, a check could be implemented in the DCA of tl_page and tl_news and disallow equal aliases.

I put the following question out to the Contao community with regards to Clean URLs for the List Reader:
https://community.contao.org/en/showthread.php?24906-Clean-URLs-for-List-Reader

The initial response was to utilize the contao-simple-news-urls methods. It seems to be an approach which has potential, but I'm unsure of how this would be implemented.

Any insight would be helpful. Thank you!

when you press on the link (by news article) - site thinks for a long time

sorry for my english

when moving from multiple sites to one (contao)
i received news with the same aliases
((

simple news urls
display only first news
other - 404

for example:
site1.com/newsalias.html (id 1) - works
site2.com/newsalias.html (id 2) - 404

whether it is possible to make something?

ps news have different news archives

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know that this package does not work as expected any longer in the new contao 4.7.
News URLs still work fine (www.domain.com/news-123), the matching of the homepage on the other hand is broken (www.domain.com does not resolve to articles with 'index' or '/').

If I remove this package, the routing works fine again.

[2019-02-16 10:24:30] app.DEBUG: Router Symfony\Cmf\Component\Routing\DynamicRouter was not able to match, message "Page alias is empty" [] []
[2019-02-16 10:24:30] request.ERROR: Uncaught PHP Exception Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException: "No route found for "GET /"" at /Users/xyz/xyz/xyz/vendor/symfony/http-kernel/EventListener/RouterListener.php line 139

Currently the language fragment is added to simple news URLs when it is enabled in the system settings. However, since news aliases are unique across all news archives this is not really necessary - thus the "simple news urls" could be made even simpler for this case.

This feature will be added in a major release version, but backwards compatibility with the old behavior could be obtained by adding a system setting like "Add language to simple news URLs".

It's awesome to remove the reader/detail/item whatever alias.

But could it be possible to respect the folder URLs before the detail?

F.E.:

www.example.com/blog/category/detail/mynewsentry.html

currently this will be stripped to www.example.com/newsentry.html

but is possible to rewrite to www.example.com/blog/category/mynewsentry.html

This would be a great enhancement in case of clear URL structures for SEO etc.

If there are any german Umlaute in the url, the 404 page is delivered.

After replacing the Umlaute like ä -> ae in the news aliases it works perfectly.

Contao 3.5.4
fritzmg/contao-simple-news-urls | 2.0.5

When I'm generating the searchindex, the URL's in the list are not rewritten, so the URL's in the sitemap are not rewritten too.

I think that is causing that my news sites are not indexed automatically by search engines, I always have to manually submit...

Getestet in einer frischen 4.9.5: Beim Zusammenspiel mit fehlenden Suffixen gibt es Probleme mit der Preview-Funktion auf Newsreader-Seiten. Wenn ich /app/config/config.yml anlege mit dem Inhalt:

contao: 
   url_suffix: ''

... dann funktioniert auf einer News-Reader-Seite die Preview-Funktion nicht mehr, sondern es wird eine Weiterleitungswarnung ausgegeben (Diese Seite funktioniert nicht ... hat Sie zu oft weitergeleitet. Löschen Sie Ihre Cookies. ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS)

Der normale Aufruf ohne Preview klappt.

maybe add canonical url? (in newsreader)
$GLOBALS['TL_HEAD'][] = '<link rel="canonical" href="...

feeds use old urls
and maybe search indexer

See https://community.contao.org/de/showthread.php?57929-simple_news_urls-News-direkt-%FCber-Alias-aufrufen&p=384982&viewfull=1#post384982 (#10 to #18)

[i18nl10n] seems to replace the addLanguageToUrl setting with its own solution (thus it is not deteced by the simple_news_urls extension) and when that extension is installed, any simple news URL without the language fragment seems to cause a 404 instead of a redirect to the URL with the language fragment.

By installing over the Contao Manager there are two Fatal errors:

Declaration of InspiredMinds\ContaoSimpleNewsUrls\Routing\RouteProvider::getRouteCollectionForRequest() must be compatible with Symfony\Cmf\Component\Routing\RouteProviderInterface::getRouteCollectionForRequest(Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request $request): Symfony\Component\Routing\RouteCollection in C:\UwAmp\www\contao5\vendor\fritzmg\contao-simple-news-urls-bundle\src\Routing\RouteProvider.php on line 38

I installed it manually and changed the following lines in src/Routing/RouteProvider.php

line 37:

public function getRouteCollectionForRequest(Request $request)
to
public function getRouteCollectionForRequest(Request $request): RouteCollection

line 89:

public function getRoutesByNames($names): array
to
public function getRoutesByNames(?array $names = null): array

But now there is another issue in src/EventListener/RouterGenerateEventListener.php that I can't fix

Symfony\Cmf\Component\Routing\Event\RouterGenerateEvent::setRoute(): Argument #1 ($route) must be of type string, Contao\CoreBundle\Routing\Page\PageRoute given, called in ...\src\EventListener\RouterGenerateEventListener.php on line 70

Any way to apply this same simple URL rewrite to events?
Currently, the event reader is in the event URL same as the news reader was in news URL.
events/event-reader/new-event.html to events/new-event.html

for example

change the file
\system\modules\simple_news_urls\modules\ModuleNewsReaderRedirect.php

to

class ModuleNewsReaderRedirect extends \ModuleNewsReader
{
bla bla
}

there has to be a bug, but...

this file isn't used
