hmm. all this proposed module does is expose the UUID to the outside

it would probably be easiest to just make the svg module handle UUIDs
as well.
that said, we might just make it a mandatory requirement that each
module which works on documents must also match
/modules/<moduleName>/*-*-* (or whatever pattern matches UUIDs, i
don't remember now). our module sitemap interfaces need some cleaning
up anyways.
wdyt?
Hmm, at a first glance this doesn't look optimal regarding orthogonality.
normally i'd agree, but since the mapping is trivial, duplicating it is
not too bad imho.
OK, this makes sense. The internals of most modules operate on the UUID
syntax anyway, so we would just need another pipeline which forwards the
path-based URLs to UUID-based URLs.
I'd like to keep the uuid2url mapping separate from the single
modules. But I have to admit that I can't imagine a straightfoward way
to achieve this without giving it further thought.
as i said, it might be interesting to create a mandatory sitemap API for
all modules that operate on documents. that would turn this duplication
into something useful. how about:
any such module must provide
* a context-insensitive (fully parameterized) entry point that operates
on the document path
* a context-insensitive entry point that operates on a UUID plus
optional language and revision.
a module can provide
* a context-sensitive entry point that operates on the current document
via the page-envelope.
all those entry points should be accessible via standardized matcher
patterns.
i think this will flatten the lenya learning curve a lot and is more
straightforward than chaining module operations (uuid mapping -> svg
rendering) like richard asked for. plus it will allow modules to be used
in ways the original author might not have anticipated, which is good.
wdyt?
Sounds good. Thanks for digging into this!
