Jan Haderka commented on MAGNOLIA-2343:
---------------------------------------
bq. (off topic: to achieve dots in user names why not escape/encode the dot
character for transmission? Such an URL may not be nicely readable, however the
basic problem is solved. It is up to an admin if he will be using dots.)
Escaping the dots would not really solve the issue since those would be decoded
at the time when we extract selectors from the names.
As for the "dots in names" issue, we can work around the selectors by
recombining the selector with remainder of the name back together, reason why
it was not done is because we thought selectors can be replaced by virtual uri
mapping and would go away.
Another reason why to favour virtual uri mapping rather then selectors is the
simplicity of use and coding. Virtual URIs are feature nicely visible and
easily configurable in the admin central at runtime, while selectors (as handy
and easy to use as they are) are somewhat hidden inside of magnolia and not so
well and easily understood by someone just starting with Magnolia.
