Hi,
Currently i'm developing a site where we want to use articles for the content publishing,
i was wondering if it is possible to use TV-output in my url:

i.e.: article with title "This is it" has a TV which returns "category_a"

now i want my url to be something like /articles/category_a/this-is-it.html

Tried to incorperate this TV call in the "Articles URL Format" setting for articles like this "[[*myTV]]/%alias.%ext" but this doesn't work.

Does anyone has an idea how to solve this? Or am I overlooking something??

Cheers, Michiel

After 9 months, I think you already solved this issue, but I will write my way to solve this.

In your article.class.php (core/components/articles/model/articles/article.class.php) add a new line after line 276.
```
$furlTemplate = str_replace('%mycategory', $this->get('tv4'), $furlTemplate);
```
and replace line 272
```
$furlTemplate = $this->xpdo->getOption('articleUriTemplate',$settings,'%Y/%m/%d/%alias/');
```
with this
```
$furlTemplate = $this->xpdo->getOption('articleUriTemplate',$settings,'%mycategory/%Y/%m/%d/%alias/');
```
(maybe you dont need to change this)

Note: Change 'tv4' with id of your tv (tv1 or tv3...)

I hope that my post understandable

P.S. It was tested with modx 2.2.8 and articles 1.6.5
With, 2.2.9 i have some problems, but later it was fixed...how i don't know [ed. note: neehad last edited this post 13 years ago.]
