Hi,

I have the below content structure.

- site

          - de

                   - category1

                             - 2001

                                   - quarter1

                                        - blog_about_vegan

                                        - blog_about_flowers

                                   - quarter2

                                        - blog_about_something

                             - 2002

                                   - quarter1

                                        - blog_about_vegan

                                        - blog_about_flowers

                                   - quarter2

                                        - blog_about_something

I want customers to use shorthand urls. For instance; Customer should get blog_about_vegan when he tries the following url : https://www.somedomain.com/site/de/category1/blog_about_vegan. He should not be worried about the year and quarter as they are just meant for categorization.

I have configured sling mappings in /etc/map to remap the url to search for content in /content. But i am not able to figure out how can I ask sling to look into all year and quarter folders for a particular category to find this article. something like a dynamic internal redirect with nested search capability. could you please advice

    I believe you need to use dynamic redirects which can be implemented at the apache level(mod_rewrite module). Check [1] for more details:

      Check the following document about resource mapping to define redirects, vanity URLs and virtual hosts for AEM.

          I could use Vanity url as a solution. But Either the author have to manually add Vanity url for each page, which i dont want or I have to dynamically generate a vanity url based on the parent path and set it in workflow step.

          But I was moreover looking to do this as a configuration in sling mapping.

          I cannot do this because I will be ambiguos of the path that i need to redirect at dispatcher

          I tried these configurations. But I cannot make it work for the year and quarter parts of the url which are unknown and supposed to be dynamic

          If I'm not wrong, a combination of Sling Filters and Processors might work for this use case.

          I would not recommend to use filters to change the resource in the request; might work, but it's not really intuitive and also heavily depends on the order of the filters. Maybe a custom resource provider is more in line with Sling and could help here. It's also more generic and works then with all resource-based functionality of sling, and is not tied to a request.
