Hi Alex,
Changing the permalink is quite straightforward, you just need to edit
the following class:
org.apache.roller.weblogger.pojos.WeblogEntry
and change this:
public String createAnchorBase() {
...
tmp = (tmp == null) ? s : tmp + "_" + s;
...
}
to this:
public String createAnchorBase() {
...
tmp = (tmp == null) ? s : tmp + "-" + s;
...
}
Apparently hyphens are more SEO friendly... so I've been told.
Cheers,
Richard
