http://www.thedailycynic.com/music-news-4

instead of:

http://www.thedailycynic.com/article.php/20040506062048220

I'm looking for this solution, too. Anyone resolve it yet?

I've asked this a few times too. Hopefully that will be something that makes it's way into GeekLog2.

But then you'll have to come up with a name any time you publish an article!

The new field would only be optional, if you enable the Descriptive URL Rewrite in the config file. If someone leaves this field blank, geeklog would just replace it with the normal ID.

If you can live with

that will be possible in Geeklog 1.3.10.

I think this is the biggest and most requested feature from the Geeklog team.

You could look at mod_rewrite for geeklog http://modrewrite.gldir.com/
it wont give you exactly what you are looking for, as you will have to do some mod_rewrite magic per story if you really want what you desire.

Personally I would love to see geeklog2 do the following

instead of http://www.foo.bar/article.php/20040506062048220

pass your article to a preprocessor before comBuildURL
in the Admin section have three options
1. Default Output
2. Dynamic Output (as Static pages plugin, wrapped inside a topic ID)
3. As HTML

The result would be you could have
http://www.foo.bar/article.php/20040506062048220
or
http://www.foo.bar/YourTopicName/20040506062048220/TitleName
or
http://www.foo.bar/topicName/html/Titlename.html

I know the GL Developers will grown at that, but I believe it can be done, and done correctly without the need of mod_rewrite
