Create a field with the URL of the article

Hi,

I'm using FC 3.2.1.5.

I would like to know if there is a way to create a new field, named for instance "url", that will contain automatically the URL of an article ?

Thank you!
Michaël

hello an exmple of url ?

Hello,

I would like the short URL like :

http://xxx/index.php/kb/23/496

Thanks,
Michael

you too explain more .. its the same url for all item ?
do you have a variable part for this url ?

Hi Micker,

On my website, I have (for instance) 10 items :

1. How to share informations
2. How to collect informations
3...
etc

For each item, I have a different URL, like :

1. http://xxx/mysite/kb/8-knowledge-base/1-how-to-share-informations
2. http://xxx/mysite/kb/8-knowledge-base/2-how-to-collect-informations

This is the URL found on my browser, when I click on the item.

On my item, I would like to add a field named"url", with a short url like :

1. http://xxx/mysite/kb/1
2. http://xxx/mysite/kb/2

The idea is to share a short link with another users, instead of the long link.

I would like to know if there is a way to add automatically this field to the item.

Thanks.
Michaël

or
a text field with http://xxx/mysite/kb/ in prefix and user can put number in field ...
i don't realy undesrtand your question ...

Hello

For creating field values automatically
via custom PHP code that you enter in a parameter

we have added this feature recently
(currently possible such auto-creation is available only for title field in type configuration form)

- what is missing is adding same parameter in field configuration of "text" , "textarea" , etc fields

it is 1 or 2 hours work to complete this feature

One of the purpose of this new feature is to avoid creating a new field type to add just a small custom code inside the new field type

Hi ggppdk,

Thank you for your answer.

Yep, what I need is to create the short link like http://xxx/mysite/kb/2.
In fact, I just need to retrieve automatically the article ID, like 1 or 2 in my case.
Then, I will be able to create my field "link", with something like that : http://xxx/mysite/kb/[ID OF THE ARTICLE], where the ID is filled automatically.

Is there a PHP code for this ?

Thanks!
Michaël

Hello

after this featured is added , we could give you such custom PHP code,
it should be something like:

Hello,

Great, understood.

I will wait for a next release with this improvement!

Thanks,
Michaël
