Overview

Removes the trailing slash from page links.

SiteTree is the only class in Silverstripe that adds trailing slashes to links. This module cleans that up.

Requirements

Silverstripe CMS 4.x

The changes from this module have been folded into core for Silverstripe 5, see 2780.

Installation

Install the module using composer:

composer require innoweb/silverstripe-remove-trailing-slash dev-master

Then run dev/build.

Configuration

Unfortunately, SiteTree::RelativeLink() contains an issue, where the base link and action are joined with a forced /. When no action is available, this leaves a trailing slash.

Because the extension point updateRelativeLink is called before that join, you need to overwrite Page::RelativeLink() with the following code:

/**
 * Remove trailing slash from page links. SiteTree forces a trailing slash if no action is set, which doesn't
 * make sense, really. Every other functionality in SS doesn't add the trailing slash, e.g. in HTTP and
 * HTTPRequest classes.
 *
 * @see \SilverStripe\CMS\Model\SiteTree::RelativeLink()
 */
public function RelativeLink($action = null)
{
	$link = parent::RelativeLink($action);
	$link = rtrim($link, '/');
	return $link;
}
