Techrights-secthe slugs cannot, for the slugs those get swapped out with underscoresJul 15 15:23
Techrights-secthough perhaps the colons and question marks can stayJul 15 15:23
Techrights-secthe slashes are not permitted in file names or directory names anywayJul 15 15:23

schestowitz-TRwordpress has some code, probably php, that derives slugs from titlesJul 15 15:44
schestowitz-TRand deals with weird-ish latin chars and converts various symbols to FS-compatible stringsJul 15 15:44
schestowitz-TRmaybe if the slug part throws an errorJul 15 15:44
schestowitz-TRit can just say enter the plug manutallyJul 15 15:44
schestowitz-TRthe nice thing is, even if the DB goes down, offline, defunct, vanishes, the site will still serveJul 15 15:45
schestowitz-TRpages OKJul 15 15:45
Techrights-secOk, tracking it down. It goes into the database nicely.  Now I have to checkJul 15 15:52
Techrights-secthe other script.Jul 15 15:52
Techrights-secYes, static pages are /very/ robustJul 15 15:52
Techrights-secSeems to generate the file using the slug and puts the link in latest-news.htmlJul 15 15:52
Techrights-secbut the feed.xml generator needs some futher workJul 15 15:52
Techrights-secalmost, still some bugs ... checking ...Jul 15 15:52
schestowitz-TRI will add some more entries to tas with more stuff and touch edge casesJul 15 15:52
schestowitz-TRmost of the readers are rss digestorsJul 15 15:52

schestowitz-TRi think it is close to ready provided there are working links in rss feedsJul 15 15:57
schestowitz-TRdata entry seems to work OKJul 15 15:57

schestowitz-TRit can be fair use if the image is assopciate with the page we send a lot of traffic toJul 15 16:18
Techrights-secthere are several hotlinked images  Jul 15 16:23
Techrights-secfair use is not the risk with hotlinking. there is the matter of lost or missingJul 15 16:23
Techrights-secimages or mischief, especially the latter;Jul 15 16:23
Techrights-secI can add in a check to prevent hotlinking so it does not happen accidentally laterJul 15 16:23
Techrights-secI'm wondering what kind of work flow to use for the update.  I guess theJul 15 16:23
