Thread

Hello,

I am building a site with “non-standard” EE URL structures. I am inserting the year and month into my URLs like:

http://mysite.com/section/2012/10/url-title

When setting the value for “Search Results URL” in the Channel Preferences, I am using:

/section/{entry_date format='%Y/%m'}/

as the path, dynamically building the correct year/month.

In my templates, I am attempting to use:

{comment_url_title_auto_path}

It appears this is not parsing and links are returning URLs like:

http://mysite.com/section/{entry_date format='%Y/%m'}/url-title

Is it possible to use dynamic code in the Channel Preferences fields?

Hi Chad,

No, I’m afraid it’s not possible to use template code in the Channel Preferences, and I’m not sure it’s otherwise possible to do what you’re looking to do here. The only thing I could think of would be to create a custom add-on that will detect the entry in question based on the URL title in the URI and then redirect to the kind of URL you’re looking for based on the year and month of the entry date.

Hi Kevin,

Alright, good to know. Thanks for your reply.

Glad I could help, Chad. Anything else I can do for you?
