SEO friendly url for each location, comments, short url 

1) I would like each location to have friendly url. Is this on the road map? If not, do you know if a 3rd party module could be used for this?

2) Would it be possible to use Disgus (www.disgus.com) for each locaion's comments?

3) Finally, would it be possible to automatically created short urls (using www.bit.ly or similar service)?

I think the source code is available, so I could attempt to do these things. I guess my question is -- could you look into it?

Thanks!

Re: SEO friendly url for each location, comments, short url 
  1. Do you mean a URL for each location details page?  That is not on the road map, though we can add it for consideration.  Feel free to create an issue at http://support.engagemodules.com/.
  2. I've never heard of Disgus and that link didn't work.  Can you give me more information about it?  I general we probably aren't willing to make the moduel dependent on a 3rd party site or service, and probably won't be terribly excited about adding another 3rd party component in general, but I'd be willing to take a look at it.
  3. Is this in reference the the 1st item?  Where are you wanting these links to go to?  I don't see us integrating this with the module, but it certainly is something you could add with access to the source.

If you can get me some more information on these items, I'd be willing to help you work through whether they would be possible additions to the module.

Thanks,

Re: SEO friendly url for each location, comments, short url 

All 3 questions relate to the location's "detail" page.

Sorry, had a typo in the the url -- http://disqus.com.  This is a popular commenting system; not sure how well it would integrate w/ Locator. Some info here.

I'd like the detail page to auto-generate a short URL (for use on twitter, etc.) -- placed in a text box on the page.

If I purchase the standard module is it possible to upgrade to source?

Thanks.

Thanks for the additional info, these requests are looking a little more doable now :-)

I'll take a look at Disqus in a bit and get back to you on my thoughts.

You can always upgrade licenses for the difference in cost between them.  The upgrades are available from http://www.engagesoftware.com/Buy_Now/Upgrades.aspx once you purchase a license.

Hope that helps,

Re: SEO friendly url for each location, comments, short url 

Disqus looks interesting.  It seems like it shouldn't be very difficult to integrate it.  Are you wanting it to be integrated with the main module, or just wondering if you could get that done for a custom implementation?

While I like Disqus, I'm not sure how we'd feel about making our customers depend on it for comments.
