permalinks should start with a letter about shaarli HOT 4 CLOSED

We could add e.g. the letter "s" in front (just picking that one up as it's the first letter of Shaarli). That addresses the - issue for the future, all newly created permalinks will start with an s.

Regarding already existing permalinks, I completely agree should still continue to work. The following should work: keep the old permalink in the database, but display it with an s in front starting today (i.e. if the first character of the permalink is not an "s", add "s" to the HTML code).
People that have the old permalink saved can still access it the old way (maybe not valid, but still working)
People that see the permalink for the first time will see it with an s in front. When a permalink is accessed that couldn't be found in the database, strip the s in front and check if that permalink exists. If so, display the content.

Or this could be implemented the other way around, but would involve updating the database of all old permalinks to add an "s" in front, which may be more complex to address (how/when do you trigger that conversion, as it shouldn't be a process that is done by the user manually)

@e2jk thanks for your input. Your solution looks good, however I'm not sure at all about how permalink storage is handled in Shaarli.

The developer documentation is basically non-existent (what we have + comments in code) and we've been hacking at the code with an axe so far. The docs were requested at sebsauvage#17

This kind of bug reaally needs @sebsauvage's input.

• The name attribute has been deprecated in HTML5 (http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/obsolete.html)
• I can't reproduce the error 500 mentioned in sebsauvage#131 and sebsauvage#190. This is likely a server cofiguration problem, please check your configuration.

I suggest we close this as wontfix.

@Alkarex @BoboTiG @e2jk @Sbgodin @sebsauvage @timovn what do you think?

I'm OK with closing.
