Trying to rewrite URL's of 3rd child to be under root

[Chris FP]

Hi all, new to the forum and to ProcessWire. I've been spending some time looking into documentation and the available forum questions previously posted 

but I cannot seem to get it to work. I suspect it's probably a combination of the template not living off the root and that the child is 2 levels down.

Below is code I've added to _init.php

wire()->addHookBefore('Page::path', function($event) {
  $page = $event->object;
  if($page->template == 'portfolio-single-page') {
    // ensure that pages with template 'post' live off the root rather than '/posts/'
    $event->replace = true;
    $event->return = "/$page->name/";
  }
});

The structure of my page is as follows

FULL PAGE URL - /our-projects/video-commercials/aerial-photography-videography/

/our-projects/ - portfolio-page.php

/our-projects/video-commercials/ - portfolio-category-page.php

/our-projects/video-commercials/aerial-photography-videography/ - portfolio-single-page.php

 

Right now I want to simply remove the parents from the child url and have /our-projects/video-commercials/aerial-photography-videography/ go to /aerial-photography-videography/ (unique)

Is this possible?

hi,

even if i must say i find this a curious idea which sounds so much like a wordpress idea it hurts ? you'll find the working answer in deltavik post in the last thread you quote

more, as a visitor, i really prefer a clear url that makes me know where i am in the website structure and avoids the need of breadcrumbs disfiguring the pages ?

pw not being wp you don't have to avoid default structure url as post, portfolio and so on, you can name your pages the way you want giving your visitors a good idea of what and where they are strolling in, a better UX than a simple domain with everything not organized following (not to speak about SEO...)

have a nice day
