Issue Summary
Hi,
is there a port of this filter for Drupal 6 in the plans?
Comments
#1
are you even sure a port of this module is necessary, considering for D6 there is the flexifilter ? http://drupal.org/project/flexifilter
#2
I have not tried Flexifilter, but Pathologic solves URL Replace Filter's main use cases in a much nicer way. I'm tempted to declare URL Replace Filter as deprecated.
#3
It seems pathologic is missing a crucial feature which both url_replace_filter and even my old img_relocator had: the ability to not only transform "foo" to "http://www.example.com/foo", but also to http://www.example.com/sites/www.example/com/files/foo", which is essential in a multisite environment.
Do you think it would be better to try and integrate this into pathologic, or declare url_replace_filter as ported to D6 ? As things are, it only requires a "core = 6.x" in the info file to work for D6. I'm using it without a problem on a D6 site.
#4
I guess it depends on whether Pathologic's maintainer want Pathologic to address this issue. Even then, it is true that URL Replace Filter will always be able to address some less common cases that Pathologic can't. Therefore, it might be nice to release url_replace_filter for D6, especially given that it is so easy to port. :-)
#5
OK, do you want me to create the branch and commit an initial version ?
#6
Sure! Thanks.
