Clean URL Contribution Pages?
May 27, 2011, 01:40:40 pm
Hey all - have tried to find/figure this out on my own.  I know how to specify URL in Drupal pages but can't figure out how to get away from the relatively ugly URL:
.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=6

I'd love to be able to specify something like:
.org/civicrm/contribute/name-of-campaign

or the like.

Possible?

Teach me Obi Wan!   ???

No one answered because there's isn't an automatic way to do this. I actually coded a somewhat similar feature for a certain install, but that was achieved via a custom module.

Such a module for your specific needs could also be coded--it's not very complicated.

I enjoy this module http://drupal.org/project/path_redirect  although it might not let you use a civicrm in the path you can try.

you could make paths like this for sure:

www.site.com/campaign/summer
www.site.com/campaign/holiday

and so on

Hi,

It probably wouldn't be too difficult to put in place a system that
1) is called to generate the urls with the params ("contribution", array of params)
2) and make it overridable/hookable so you can modify it.
3) and make a system to /contribution/whatever loads the right content from civicrm

However, changing it everywhere is going to be quite long, but it would be possible to start with contributions and extend further.

Talking about contributions, would you be able to code or sponsor such a development ?

.org/civicrm/contribute/name-of-campaign sounds like something that would be useful for a lot of orgs. I'd donate a bit if this became a Make-It-Happen, if someone else could seed it.
