I am investigating the possibility of including the category in the topic URL for retargeting purposes. For example: https://meta.discourse.org/t/support/where-can-i-create-tags/31094 or https://meta.discourse.org/support/t/where-can-i-create-tags/31094 From previous responses on this subject, it …

I think if you put it before the topic ID at the end there’s no problem… but you can’t add more slashes or other delimiters. Maybe you can use underscore to delimit if you need it, e.g. these two links go to the same place without any problem: https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-url-to-include-its-…

Is this possible through a site setting, or a plugin?

Hi, I’m very much a n00b when it comes to Discourse but also forums in general and I’d like to ask and understand if and how it is possible for a URL of a thread to contain it’s category. My meaning being right now it appears I have a URL of a category like this: https://randomname.discourse.grou…

A good idea to get the nomenclature right. In Discourse a thread is called a Topic. The association with a Category is implicit so it’s not needed. Plus if the Topic is moved to a new Category, the URL would become dated and essentially invalid. There’s usually no harm in adding a query string p…

I’m utilising a third party software which scraps a forum. I’m limited to its queries and so when it scrapes a thread (topic) it needs to infer what category it is part of, which it appears to do via the url.

It makes no sense from an app perspective as I’ve pointed out, but you might be able to build a plugin or script to change all the URLs. The Category is clear in the HTML of the crawler views I believe so maybe you can alter the tool instead to leverage that instead?

If you’re the one explicitly providing the URLs to the scraper and defining how it’ll extract the category from them, you might be able to use what Tobias suggested as a hack – you could provide it with /t/category-name__topic-slug/topic-id, for example. Discourse will serve a 301 redirect response …
