I haven't looked yet for 5.1, it will probably be the same class(es) in
5.0.x, check Roller commits list for when it's done (don't know when I
or someone else will be able to get to it, we're a volunteer effort.)

Hello Glen,
It will be great that we should introduce this in roller 5.1 but what about
the roller 5.0 users, as I am using roller 5.0 and just have completly
integrated in my another application so how I should go, I am finding the
solution for the urls with dashes so that i can finally make it live.
So, what Can I do to implement it in roller 5.0, If there are to be changes
in code I can customize for my application.
Thanks
Gaurav

Hi Gaurav, thanks for looking at Roller. Yes, it looks like Roller needs
updating here, as most blogging-like tools are now on hyphens:
Wordpress:

Blogger:

Confluence (exception, uses +):
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CXF/Commercial+CXF+Offerings
And Google, at least as of 2011, recommends using hyphens for new webpages
(but does not see much value in switching over if one is already on
underscores, as the SEO gain is not much):

Team: I think what we should do, starting with Roller trunk (5.1), is
default to hyphens but add a roller.properties setting allowing admins to
revert to the 5.0.x and earlier default of underscores if they wish: (For
simplicity and blog server consistency, I think this should be an
admin-only and not a blog-specific setting.)
# Roller 5.1 now separates words in blog URLs using hyphens.
# Enable below to revert to pre-5.1 underscore separators
rendering.use.underscore.separator=false
(better suggestions for property name welcome but it looks like this
particular property should be in the "rendering." section of the prop file,
hence that prefix.)
Migrations from older Roller versions to Roller 5.1 will keep the
underscores for old blog entries (again, for simplicity & so links to them
don't go dead) but use hyphens for new entries unless the above property is
set to "true". (Anyone aware of other potential hiccups, i18n'ed URLs
perhaps, with switching to hyphens?) WDYT?
Regards,
Glen

Hello,
As the url in roller are made with underscore in it, Is there a way so
that I can change that with dash. As for a new website it will be difficult
as google also suggest for using URL with dashes rather than underscore.
*Example**:* [1] to [2]
What will the best way to do this ? I was thinking of doing it in
urlrewrite or if possible I can change some lines in code.
[1] - www.yyy.com/blog/xyz/*test_blog
*[2] -**www.yyy.com/blog/xyz/*test-blog
