hafa Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 How to auto-generate random URLs in PW? For example when we upload images on Tumblr, an URL to the post is created with a random number "95032257420": http://twotimeselliott.tumblr.com/post/95032257420 And an URL for the image is created: http://31.media.tumblr.com/2142197f5273865770be44723c2a5df0/tumblr_nagyr9INCE1r6ky2bo1_500.jpg How can we do that in PW?

Nico Knoll Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Why would you want that? Btw.: Why not just using $page->id ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre-Luc Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 As mentioned before, modules.processwire.com/modules/process-field-generator/ is a module I made that does exactly that. Reason why I personally needed it : the ID of content had to not be discoverable and a fixed length. Page IDs don't provide that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
