A note on page names

[Valery]

Hi everybody,

Just wanted to share something that many of us already know of: while Page name settings restrict it to "Any combination of letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), dashes or underscores (no spaces)", you can use the dot in the name of your page.

That's it

By the way, why are uppercase letters not allowed in path names?

For linux servers "http://www.test.com/Kapitalize/WORDS/" is different then "http://www.test.com/kapitalize/words/".

So two different locations.

On a windows environment, their's no difference. It's the same url.

So you have 1 location.

I think for consistency, always use lowercase then there's no issue. I would recommend using lowercase in all situations even if you do not use ProcessWire.

I know, that linux has difference with words vs WORDS. I think when moving old content from other systems or static html-pages there might be situations where filenames have been written in titlecase or uppercase and then the you can't keep the old url. Now PW forces you to use all lowercase. Links to the old URL's don't work anymore.

If that were to be a problem apeisa's redirect module http://modules.processwire.com/modules/process-redirects/ should help.

I would also like to point out that I am testing PW on a FreeBSD machine, and the setup (or PW?) allows me to use whatever case for a page URL.
