Shortlink plugin dev: How to tell the "request" to get u/123 with a page plugin?

Tue, 21 Jun 2016 04:32:38 +0000

I am developing a shortlink plugin, that takes the userid and redirects to the userprofile.

Instead of: domain.com/u?123 (where I can easily catch the request by a page plugin and read the userid)

I would like a slash: domain.com/u/123

However, having a slash there, the page plugin cannot catch the "u" request anymore.

How to proceed here, best practice?

The standard way does not work here:

        function match_request($request)
       {
           if($request=='u')
           {
               return true;
           }
           return false;
       }
