Hey,
I want to have the Article ID include in the URL - is it possible?
(mayby I have to modify some PHP funktions)

Google News wants a Number in the URL - That`s the reason.

Thank you  for any help

I am not sure if someone has done this before or not, but it is something I thought had already been done (or at least suggested).

The core code may need to be modified - where it is generating the article url... it would need the article_id to be called to generate the url rather than just the article_urltitle

I have not tested this and I'm sure an experienced coder/programmer will correct me, but I think it is in the core bit (there may be other bits that need added as well)

Code:
In core.php file

$Article->urltitle = $articlerow['article_urltitle'];
$Article->view = array();
$Article->view_encoded = array();

$Article->url = $Article->Category->url.$Article->urltitle.'.'.$this->settings['url_extension'];


That looks to be where the article url is generated... and to get the article id in there you would need to alter that piece of code and add article_id into it somewhere :)

Here is my attempt to get the ball rolling:

Code:
$Article->url = $Article->Category->url.$Article->id.$Article->urltitle.'.'.$this->settings['url_extension'];


It would be great if that was all that was required, but I am sure a programmer will be able to present the right solution.

It would be nice if a programmer was able to give a definitive answer on how to achieve this in urls... it may have other possible uses other than to maybe show up in google news...

From what I have seen, some people have the article_ID at the start of the url and some have it at the end... so maybe showing how to do it for both types would be the most effective way.

For example, ezinearticles.com includes the article ID at the end of the url title while helium.com includes the article_id at the start of the title. In the case of helium, the article_ID is used to display that article (even if the title is changed at a later date).

So, the 3 options that would cover everyones requests would likely be:

1. yoursite.com/category/article-title.html (the default option)
2. yoursite.com/category/article-title-12.html (article_id at end of title)
3. yoursite.com/category/12-article-title.html (article_is at the start of the title)

Here is one way to do this (it will only work in the latest ArticleMS, and only apply to newly submitted articles)
Under settings, go to Article submission settings, and in the custom settings part (the bottom) paste the following code:
it will put the id at the end, but you can easily switch it to be at the start.

PHP:
if ($this->module == 'submit'){
  $q_id = $this->db->fetch("SELECT MAX(article_id) AS max_id FROM {$this->pre}articles LIMIT 1");
  $Article->urltitle = $Article->urltitle . '-' . ($q_id['max_id'] + 1);
}

Thanks,
It works good enough for me
This code is so useful for some users with other languages.
