[opencms-dev] Append trailing slash to folder URL

[Achim Westermann]

Hi Paul,

you wouldn't need a case for each possible extensions as mod_rewrite 
supports regular expressions. You could match (pseudocode) 
<anything>/<justletters> for the rewrite to <anything>/<justletters>/ 
and done.

Regarding doing this within OpenCms.

Option 1) Feature request. Funding (negotiation with Alkacon) will 
highly increase the possibility of having this implemented quickly.

Option2) If you are just speaking of inner-page links (those links that 
are generated by OpenCms) ensure that your links are correct. Do this by 
just allowing editors to enter links by offering XMLContent values of 
type OpenCmsVfsLink, OpenCmsVarLink,... .


cheers,
Achim
