+
+You can write your own *URLPathEvaluator* class to handle custom paths.
+For instance, if you want */my-card-id* to redirect to the corresponding
+card's primary view, you would write:
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+    class CardWikiidEvaluator(URLPathEvaluator):
+        priority = 3 # make it be evaluated *before* RestPathEvaluator
+
+        def evaluate_path(self, req, segments):
+            if len(segments) != 1:
+                raise PathDontMatch()
+            rset = req.execute('Any C WHERE C wikiid %(w)s',
+                               {'w': segments[0]})
+            if len(rset) == 0:
+                # Raise NotFound if no card is found
+                raise PathDontMatch()
+            return None, rset
+
+On the other hand, you can also deactivate some of the standard
+evaluators in your final application. The only thing you have to
+do is to unregister them, for instance in a *registration_callback*
+in your cube:
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+    def registration_callback(vreg):
+        vreg.unregister(RestPathEvaluator)
+
+You can even replace the :class:`cubicweb.web.views.urlpublishing.URLPublisherComponent`
+class if you want to customize the whole toolchain process or if you want
+to plug into an early enough extension point to control your request
+parameters:
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+    class SanitizerPublisherComponent(URLPublisherComponent):
+        """override default publisher component to explicitly ignore
+        unauthorized request parameters in anonymous mode.
+        """
+        unauthorized_form_params = ('rql', 'vid', '__login', '__password')
+
+        def process(self, req, path):
+            if req.session.anonymous_session:
+                self._remove_unauthorized_params(req)
+            return super(SanitizerPublisherComponent, self).process(req, path)
+
+        def _remove_unauthorized_params(self, req):
+            for param in req.form.keys():
+                if param in self.unauthorized_form_params:
+                     req.form.pop(param)
+
+
+    def registration_callback(vreg):
+        vreg.register_and_replace(SanitizerPublisherComponent, URLPublisherComponent)
