Show the nested document structure in the url eg /doc/clients/acme/systems-OUKKGX9GAK
Source: outline/outline#6965 · opened by @brendanheywood
Lets say we have a collection for clients:
/collection/clients-71Fv7gknlR
and under that a client for 'Acme'
/doc/acme-MwaVdkpPZe
and then lets say we have a page under that:
/doc/something-UyhOnTdgDA
Each url doesn't show the structure of where we are. My understanding of the url routing is that most of the url is fairly irrelevant and its only the bit at the end which identifies the pages eg 'MwaVdkpPZe' so we could easily include lots of contextual information into the url:
Either something very minimal like this:
Or if we really need prefixes to simplify the url routing under the hood then:
We are about to embark on a large wiki migration and the loss of this visual structure is a big downside. We have a large number of similar pages for different clients or systems and they will have similar naming conventions so we need to tell them apart easily.
If there was general agreement on the concept we could contribute this.
