Length of URL-rewriting

[vFranky]

Hello,

with seo functions the title of a picture in converted in an URL. But I have observed that there is a limited length of URL-rewriting. The image title "a very long title of an image" becomes the shortened URL "www.mydomain.com/a very long titl.html" or something like this.

Question: Is there anywhere a place where I can configure the maximal length of the rewritten URL?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Frank

I guess this all depends where your talking as I am not really seeing where we limit the length so I need an explicit example

Okay, take this one -->

Content visible to verified customers only.

As you can see, the PhotoPost SEO cuts the last word - "Zitadelle". The URL-rewriting ends with "zi.html", should end with "zitadelle.html".

Question: Where ist the information/configuration for the maximal length of this url-rewriting? This counter seems to stand on "22" as a cutting-default.

right but what I am saying here is where is that link coming from. There are certain areas in our program title lengths are limited

Just go to this link and have a look by yourself. Must be the showpicture or something else. The HTML <title> of this page is correct/uncut, cutting is only active in URL-rewriting.

I do not have any more information to give. So I ask the developers of PhotoPost -> Where is the cutting code? Must be somewhere in the seo functions.

Okay you dont understand what I am saying.

I know what your talking about as far as the final link. I am referring to where your coming from as in what link where are you clicking to get to that final url.

I cant help if I dont know where your talking about clicking from

Example the ratings cache would cut the title display length in the ratings pal for one. This right in pp-inc.php limits the title to 20 characters

Ups! Indeed, there are two different links for one page.
Please go to this link and find the photo I attached in the screenshot. -->

Content visible to verified customers only.

If I click on the photo (thumbnail) to open the big size window, the url ist cut after "zi". If I click on the link below the thumbnail, the page opens with the complete url.

Google will handle this as different pages with identical content.
What can I do?

Chuck, I have to quit here, because I really can't understand what information you want from me. Perhaps this is a problem with my english language knowledge.

I come from the homepage from my PhotoPlog-Gallery, click on a category, click on a subcategory, click on a thumbnail in this category and ... the URL is shortened. This problem occurs in all my subcategories.

You can try and reproduce this by yourself. But I have no more informations to give.

Frank

what I am saying is your giving me the end result. I needed to know where your coming from to help which you just answered.

In showgallery.php find this code

Content visible to verified customers only.

replace it with

Content visible to verified customers only.

Chuck,

the problem above is not solved yet. Photopost uses different links (different length of links) in showgallery (?) for one and the same showphoto-page (?).

Example

Take this showgallery-view as an example. Here we have a lot of linked images with linked text below each image -->

Content visible to verified customers only.

The target of the linked image and the linked text should always point to the same showphoto-URL and should therefore be identical. But this is not the case, if the image has a long title (the seo-url is constructed from the title).

Lets take have a look at such showphoto links. For example the first picture on this showgallery, the bird in the water.

The image link of the bird points to -->

Content visible to verified customers only.

But .. the text link of the bird points to a longer URL (full title) -->

Content visible to verified customers only.

Let's have a look at difference (in red) -->

Text-link Filename: p2209-auf-fischfang-im-roten-meer.html
Image-link Filename: p2209-auf-fischfang-im-roten.htm

As you can see, the text-link is the full image title, but the image link is shorter, always limited 22 chars. But both links should be the same, otherwise Google will find double content.

Can you tell me the part of the sourcecode where image-links are cutted to 22 chars? I try you solution above, but it don't works.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Frank

I thought this was already corrected honestly.

Do you see this code in showgallery.php?

Content visible to verified customers only.

I mean the only title which is shortened is the variable $disptitle and if I look at the contruct_newppurl lines we use $title which is the full title. $disptitle is the shortened title.

Hello Chuck,

my modifications now in showgallery.php -->

Content visible to verified customers only.

And it works. Don't know what was wrong the last time.
No double content (links) anymore. Thank you very much.

Kind regards,
Frank

No problem as I said in our present base code I show I already fixed the issue although a little differently.
