/forum/category/134/вероятно-нехорошо-для-поисковиков`

You can still read this.
/forum/category/134/probably-not-good-for-search-engines

Do you want to remove /forum/category/134/ from the URL?

Cергей Савельев

@nhl.pl no.

julian

So what is it that you need to change?

Cергей Савельев

@julian need, when create a categories and posts, translit вероятно-нехорошо-для-поисковиков to verojatno-nexorosho-dlja-poiskovikov

nhl.pl

It can be done with iconv-lite.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/iconv-lite
https://github.com/ashtuchkin/iconv-lite

Bobber

@nhl.pl Can you tell a bit more ?

Bobber

@julian Problem with latin and cyrillic url is this, when you copy / pasting link it looks like
%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F

nhl.pl

In the near future it's going to be used in nodebb-plugin-import.

julian

Oh I see... to use Latin transliteration for the url slug.

A plugin can conceivably be written for this, expressly for Russian languages (and possibly any other languages that could benefit from this kind of service), listening for the topic creation hook, and changing the slug afterwards.

Cергей Савельев

@julian Made, thank you!

Cергей Савельев

But i not find topic edit method, where is he?

julian

Likely PostTools.edit, but this just re-slugifies the topic, so you may want to invoke the db directly:

Topics.setTopicField(tid, 'slug', tid + '/' + transliteratedTitle, callback);

Cергей Савельев

@julian you misunderstood me.

I added new fireHook in file ./src/topics/create.js:

    Topics.create = function(data, callback) {
		plugins.fireHook('filter:topic.create', data, function(err, data){
			if (err) {
				return callback(err);
			}
			
			var uid = data.uid,
				title = data.title,
				cid = data.cid,
				tags = data.tags,
				slugw = data.slug ? data.slug : title;

			db.incrObjectField('global', 'nextTid', function(err, tid) {
				if (err) {
					return callback(err);
				}

				var slug = utils.slugify(slugw),
					timestamp = Date.now();

				if (!slug.length) {
					return callback(new Error('[[error:invalid-title]]'));
				}

				slug = tid + '/' + slug;

				var topicData = {
					'tid': tid,
					'uid': uid,
					'cid': cid,
					'mainPid': 0,
					'title': title,
					'slug': slug,
					'timestamp': timestamp,
					'lastposttime': 0,
					'postcount': 0,
					'viewcount': 0,
					'locked': 0,
					'deleted': 0,
					'pinned': 0
				};

				if (data.thumb) {
					topicData.thumb = data.thumb;
				}

				db.setObject('topic:' + tid, topicData, function(err) {
					if (err) {
						return callback(err);
					}

					async.parallel([
						function(next) {
							db.sortedSetsAdd([
								'topics:tid',
								'cid:' + cid + ':tids',
								'cid:' + cid + ':uid:' + uid + ':tids'
							], timestamp, tid, next);
						},
						function(next) {
							user.addTopicIdToUser(uid, tid, timestamp, next);
						},
						function(next) {
							db.incrObjectField('category:' + cid, 'topic_count', next);
						},
						function(next) {
							db.incrObjectField('global', 'topicCount', next);
						},
						function(next) {
							Topics.createTags(tags, tid, timestamp, next);
						}
					], function(err) {
						if (err) {
							return callback(err);
						}
						plugins.fireHook('action:topic.save', topicData);
						callback(null, tid);
					});
				});
			});
			
		});
	};

And in plugin used:

(function(module) {
	"use strict";

    var mod = {},
		translit = require('translitit-cyrillic-russian-to-latin');
	
	
	mod.topicCreate = function(data, callback) {
		
		data.slug = translit(data.title);
		
		callback(null, data);
		
	};

module.exports = mod;
    
}(module));

translitit-cyrillic-russian-to-latin my fork on github.

And I can not find a method of editing a topic in topics folder, to add the appropriate fireHook.

Cергей Савельев

@julian yes, it PostTools.edit

Cергей Савельев

In file ./src/postTools.js:

    PostTools.edit = function(data, callback) {
		var options = data.options || {},
			title = data.title.trim();

		async.waterfall([
			function (next) {
				privileges.posts.canEdit(data.pid, data.uid, next);
			},
			function(canEdit, next) {
				if (!canEdit) {
					return next(new Error('[[error:no-privileges]]'));
				}
				posts.getPostData(data.pid, next);
			},
			function(postData, next) {
				postData.content = data.content;
				plugins.fireHook('filter:post.edit', {post: postData, uid: data.uid}, next);
			}
		], function(err, result) {
			if (err) {
				return callback(err);
			}

			var postData = result.post;
			async.parallel({
				post: function(next) {
					var d = {
						edited: Date.now(),
						editor: data.uid,
						content: postData.content
					};
					if (data.handle) {
						d.handle = data.handle;
					}
					posts.setPostFields(data.pid, d, next);
				},
				topic: function(next) {
					var tid = postData.tid;
					async.parallel({
						cid: function(next) {
							topics.getTopicField(tid, 'cid', next);
						},
						isMain: function(next) {
							posts.isMain(data.pid, next);
						}
					}, function(err, results) {
						plugins.fireHook('filter:topic.edit', {post: postData, topic: results, title: title}, function(err, res) {
							if (err) {
								return next(err);
							}
							
							var postData = res.post,
								results = res.topic,
								slug = res.slug || title;
							
							options.tags = options.tags || [];

							if (!results.isMain) {
								return next(null, {
									tid: tid,
									cid: results.cid,
									isMainPost: false
								});
							}

							var topicData = {
								tid: tid,
								cid: results.cid,
								uid: postData.uid,
								mainPid: data.pid,
								title: title,
								slug: tid + '/' + utils.slugify(slug)
							};
							if (options.topic_thumb) {
								topicData.thumb = options.topic_thumb;
							}

							db.setObject('topic:' + tid, topicData, function(err) {
								plugins.fireHook('action:topic.edit', topicData);
							});

							topics.updateTags(tid, options.tags, function(err) {
								if (err) {
									return next(err);
								}
								topics.getTopicTagsObjects(tid, function(err, tags) {
									next(err, {
										tid: tid,
										cid: results.cid,
										uid: postData.uid,
										title: validator.escape(title),
										isMainPost: results.isMain,
										tags: tags
									});
								});
							});
						});
					});
				},
				postData: function(next) {
					cache.del(postData.pid);
					PostTools.parsePost(postData, next);
				}
			}, function(err, results) {
				if (err) {
					return callback(err);
				}
				postData.cid = results.topic.cid;
				results.content = results.postData.content;

				plugins.fireHook('action:post.edit', postData);
				callback(null, results);
			});
		});
	};

The same method as for the creation of topics and everything is super!

node-transliteration thanks @Mega

npm install transliteration

plugin index.js:

(function(module) {
    "use strict";

    var mod = {},
        translit = require('transliteration').slugify;
    
    
    mod.topicCreate = function(data, callback) {
        
        data.slug = translit(data.title, {lowercase: true, separator: '_'});
        
        callback(null, data);
        
    };

    mod.topicEdit = function(data, callback) {
        
        data.slug = translit(data.title, {lowercase: true, separator: '_'});
        
        callback(null, data);
        
    };

module.exports = mod;
    
}(module));
