DAM Path Shortening

Hi,

 

We need to shorten some DAM PDF url in our website.

 

E.g. 

 

if PDF Path is:

/content/dam/cms/myproject/resources/documents/mydoc.pdf,

 

on page, whether is a href or img src, It should display like /Documents/mydoc.pdf

 

Added rule as below in Sling Resource Resolver Factory:

 

^/content/dam/cms/myproject/resources/documents/</Documents/

 

When I try to check if it maps to right url, it looks all good.

 

 

However, It does not shorten PDF urls on the Pages, whereas all rewrite rules for Pages work fine.

 

1) Do we need to write custom sling rewriter to handle this scenario?

OR

2) Something is missing out here?

 

 

 

FYI:@arunpatidar  @ AvinashGupta01 @kautuk_sahni ,

      @santoshsai  Thanks a lot for your time.

       

      I went through above shared link and I found only this part for DAM assets. 

      Does it mean that we need to write something custom to shorten dam urls in our website? like Rewriter , transformer factory etc?

        hello @arvind-1 

         

        As suggest on the link shared by @santoshsai .

        The URL shortening can also be achieved by using "dispatcher" + "Sling Mappings"

         

        Dispatcher can take care of the URL rewites:

        • Shortening URLs, if user enters full URL
        • Converting short to long URLs based on vhost configs 

         

        The Sling mappings would take care of URL shortening in the content section.

         

        Explanation also available on: https://helpx.adobe.com/ro/experience-manager/kb/multi-domain-management-aem-mappings-for-url-shortening---aem-6-.html

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ_cXcAE7G8 It shows step-by-step how each config enhances the overall solution

          Hi @arvind-1 ,

          I see it has been a while since there is any activity on this post but did you manage to find any solution to dam URL re-write other than using the custom link transformers ?
