# Clean User URLs for OJS 3.5

Targeted for the OJS 3.5.0-5 source tree supplied for testing.

The plugin changes the **site-level** account menu links and also rewrites the site-name/header link to `/`:

- Dashboard -> `/dashboard`
- Profile -> `/profile`
- Administration -> `/admin`
- Log Out -> `/logout`
- Site name/header -> `/`

Journal-context navigation is intentionally not changed.

## Required `.htaccess` aliases

Place these rules **before** the generic OJS catch-all rewrite rule:

```apache
RewriteRule ^dashboard/?$ index.php/index/id/index [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/?$ index.php/index/id/user/profile [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^admin/?$ index.php/index/id/admin/index [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^logout/?$ index.php/index/id/login/signOut [L,QSA]
```

Then keep the existing OJS rules, for example:

```apache
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
```

If the configured site locale/path is changed from `id`, update the internal targets above accordingly.

## Install

Upload the ZIP from **Site Settings -> Plugins -> Upload A New Plugin**, then enable **Clean User URLs**.

If the plugin cannot be uploaded from the UI, extract `cleanUserUrls` into `plugins/generic/` and enable it from the plugin list.


## 1.0.0.2
Fix output-filter callback compatibility with Smarty in OJS 3.5.0-5.


## 1.0.0.4
Adds a conservative clean URL for the exact site-level **Administration** breadcrumb/home link:

- `/index/id/admin` -> `/admin`
- `/index/id/admin/index` -> `/admin`

It deliberately does **not** rewrite child admin URLs such as `/index/id/admin/settings`,
component (`$$$call$$$`) routes, API routes, or AJAX endpoints.


## 1.0.0.5
Fixes the Administration-link matching bug in v1.0.0.4 and cleans ordinary
site-level Administration URLs while leaving component/API/AJAX routes alone.

Requires Apache aliases such as:
`/admin/contexts -> index.php/index/id/admin/contexts`.


## 1.0.0.6
Adds clean ordinary site-level user URLs.

Examples:
- `/index/id/user/profile` -> `/user/profile`
- `/index/id/user/register` -> `/user/register`

Requires:
`RewriteRule ^user/(.*)$ index.php/index/id/user/$1 [L,QSA]`

Component/AJAX (`$$$call$$$`) and API routes remain untouched.


## 1.0.0.7
Fixes the backend **Edit Profile** link in OJS 3.5.

The backend top navigation is rendered by Vue after Smarty output filters run,
so the plugin now adds a small backend-only MutationObserver that changes only:

- `/index/id/user/profile` -> `/user/profile`

No API, component (`$$$call$$$`), journal-context, or profile-tab routes are modified.


## 1.0.0.8
Extends the backend Vue user-menu helper to clean both:

- `/index/id/user/profile` -> `/user/profile`
- `/index/id/login/signOut` -> `/logout`

No API, component (`$$$call$$$`), profile-tab, or journal-context routes are modified.
