Use page unique IDs

[Daandelange]

Now, slugs are used in SimpleStats, Kirby has a new page UID system.

• Page UIDs seem not to be enabled by default in Kirby, how to keep compatibility with both ?
• Provide a migration tool, probably move to a new DB file version ?
• Currently nums are mistakenly stored in the slug : Do we need to remove them too ? (tracking probably breaks when page-sorting changes).

Hi there,

Please do not rely on Kirby UUID as some doesn't use them by design.

Hi, can you explain that a little further ? To me, they seem more reliable then slugs.

Hi,

The use of UUIDs is not mandatory with Kirby: it is an option: plugin must therefore provide for this case by considering that UUIDs are not used.

UUIDs (universally unique identifiers) are an additional way to refer to any model in Kirby – be it a page, a file or a user.

You can modify the UUID format or completely disable UUIDs using the content.uuid option in the config file.

Ok, thanks for sharing these thoughts, I'll keep them into consideration. :)
