YAMS Mime-type Dependent Alias Suffixes

This is a user-contributed Extra. If you find issues or would like more info or help, please contact the author.

How can I get YAMS to use the .xml suffix for xml documents, .rss for rss documents, etc.

There is an option to do this: set "Modules => YAMS => Other Params => URL Formatting => Use Mime-type dependent suffixes" to "yes", then clear the cache so that document URLs are regenerated.

The default mime-type => suffix mapping is as follows:

$this->itsMimeSuffixMap = array(
  'application/xhtml+xml' => '.xhtml',
  'application/javascript' => '.js',
  'text/javascript' => '.js',
  'application/rss+xml' => '.rss',
  'application/xml' => '.xml',
  'text/xml' => '.xml',
  'text/css' => '.css',
  'text/html' => '.html',
  'text/plain' => '.txt'
);

This can be changed by editing the "assets/modules/yams/yams.config.inc.php" file directly.

WARNING:
It is not necessary to use the SEO Strict URLs plugin in combination with YAMS since YAMS has SEO friendly behaviour built in. Furthermore, the plugin is not compatible with YAMS.
