how to automatically change record alias

you will have to copy router_main.php file in routers folder, modify it and set it as your main router.

thank you,

but will I be able to set a custom alias only for certain types, and not for all?

Yes. There you can check ID and if it is what you need to change alias.

Router is pure PHP.

I have no idea how to that :(, if anyone can suggest the code to do it I will appreciate it.

thank you

Find lines 279-280 in current router

$record = explodeUrlParam($query['id']);

$segments[] = $record[0] . (isset($record[1]) ? '-' . cleanAlias($record[1]) : '');

change it to

$record = explodeUrlParam($query['id']);

$alias = (isset($record[1]) ? $record[1] : '');

$record_obj = ItemsStore::getRecord($record[0]);

if(in_array($record_obj->type_id, array(2,3,4)))

{

$alias .= (!empty($alias) ? '-customword' : 'customword' );

}

$segments[] = $record[0] . (!empty($alias) ? '-' . cleanAlias($alias) : '');

This is not tested and typed right here. So may be some errors but this is main idea.

Also copy router first first and the set it in global cobalt config.
