Description

Problem

URL's for Teams are very long and ugly at the moment:

https://nextcloud.local/index.php/apps/circles/teams/team/MhoB14OeDtLNDtgvfPJgNadWVQ4TU4n/page/
Request

The Teams (circles) app could use a shortened URL, like there already is for sharing files, in the format of https://nextcloud.local/f/12345. The following format would be fitting:

https://nextcloud.local/t/12345

  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the existing file-sharing short URL is defined and resolved, then compare it with the Teams (circles) route shown in the issue. Done means a URL such as /t/12345 opens the corresponding team page without breaking the existing team URL.
