uniqueSlugChecker()

Simple check to indicate a possible duplicate post name

JavaScript February 7, 2021

Usage

This function runs automatically, so it is not called manually. Is this incorrect?

Additional Notes

This function will color the post slug in red when it ends in a dash and number.

This can have false positives, so use judgement with this reference tool.

        if ( jQuery('.edit-post-post-link__link-post-name').length ){
            if ( jQuery('.edit-post-post-link__link-post-name').text().match(/(-\d+)\/?$/) ){
                jQuery('a.edit-post-post-link__link').css('color', 'red');
                jQuery('.edit-post-post-link__preview-label').html('<span title="This likely indicates a duplicate post, but will not prevent saving or publishing." style="cursor: help;">Possible duplicate:</span>');
            }
        }
    };
    

    Override

    To override or disable this JavaScript function, simply redeclare it with the exact same function name. Remember: Some functionality is conditionally loaded via dynamic imports, so if your function is not overriding properly, try listening for a DOM event (described below).

    JavaScript

    For non-module import functions:

    nebula.uniqueSlugChecker = function(){
        //Write your own code here, leave it blank, or return false.
    }


    For dynamically imported module function overrides:

    jQuery(window).on('load', function(){
        nebula.uniqueSlugChecker = function(){
            //Write your own code here, leave it blank, or return false.
        }
    });


    Custom Nebula DOM events do also exist, so you could also try the following if the Window Load listener does not work:

    jQuery(document).on('nebula_module_loaded', function(module){
        //Note that the module variable is also available to know which module specifically was imported
        if ( typeof nebula.uniqueSlugChecker === 'function' ){
            nebula.uniqueSlugChecker = function(){
                //Write your own code here, leave it blank, or return false.
            }
    	}
    });
