API for URI Management and URI generation

[ids]

Are there API functions that allow functions to executed programmatically?

Just like running a scheduled task trigger function, I'd like to be able run the URI (re)generation from within a custom module.

Secondarily, I'd like to not run it for ALL items. I'd like to be able to run the regeneration per product or per category. I'm not sure I am seeing these functions in the LSK.

Thanks,

Scott

Well, there's the API Function list here...oh wait...they removed that...never mind.

For the record, ( and no "sounding like a broken record" pun intended) there is a solid reason that this was removed from documentation. The code in the LSK is to give people examples on how to solve problems. The act of documenting these functions made some think it was a good idea to CALL functions in our modules from their own code.. which created all kinds of problems. This code was not in any intended to be maintained in a backwards compatible way. If anything the original inclusion of this in docs was the mistake.

oookaayyyy... i get what you are saying, but one could limit access to this via say a login...that being said, we have plans to build our own and already have a pretty good library of the functions we commonly use. that being said, miva is but of an anomaly here in that regard. i also understand that this is not a trival thing to document, especially with the breadth of functions currently involved. Perhaps its time to try a 'developer community' approach to this issue?

...still looking to find out if I can automate URI (re)generation at least on all products/categories.

You'd want to call URI_Generate_Product_Update or URI_Generate_Category_Update. That is the top-level function that will honor all the configured URI settings. Both of those functions exist in the uri_ut.mv file in the LSK.

Thanks David. Found it in Features. I thought it would have been the Library but only found the URL component.
