Remove "Category" from URL

[christianwalter]

Hi together,

I need some hint, how I can solve this little problem. I have a page template which is only used as a category headline inside a mega menu. With that I can edit and manage the categories and all the pages “inside”. This actaully works fine. The category-pages themselves have no output.

But now I have long urls of the pages and I want to delete those categories/headlines from the url. I also have multiple levels of pages.

/level-1/level-2 → fine
/level-1/level-2/level-3 → fine

/level-1/category-1-level-2/level3 → /level-1/level-3
/level-1/category-2-level-2/level3 → /level-1/level-3
/level-1/category-2-level-2/level3/level4 → /level-1/level-3/level-4

I hope you understand my issue. How would you do this? I’m searching for a solution for kirby 3.4 and which works generally for all kind of categorie and page titles – if possible.

I already found this topic, but It’s not really the same.

Remove parent page name in subpage url

Don’t know if. this is the best way to go about this, but try: c::set('routes', array( array( 'pattern' => 'blog/(:any)', 'action' => function($uid) { if($page = page('blog/'.$uid)) { go($page->parent()); } else { $categories = page('blog')->children()->pluck('uri', ','); $i = 0; while($i < count($categories)) { if($page = page($categories[$i].'/'.$uid)) { return site()->visit($page); } $i++;…

This would be the go to docs: Routes | Kirby CMS

With the difference that you want to remove the middle part, so you need to adapt that a bit.
