Pretty URLs

[rd]

Can you please change the extension? Like instead of (-) can you make the mod place a (_) for space?

The (_) is better for SEO, and if you added this then this mod will be waaayyyy better then simpleSEF.

Thanks,

Can you send me a link to an article where it says _ is better than - for search engine rankings

[Dannii]

You can change it yourself by editing Subs-PrettyUrls.php.

Added some new filters to provide pretty urls support for some mods and uploaded it to the modsite.

prettyurls-extras-1.0-RC.zip - Provides rewrite filters for mods including seo4smf, Tinyportal Articles, Tagging System, Download System, ezPortal Pages, SMF Gallery, SMF Articles, SMF Classifeds, and SMF Store

Do you plan to add support for more mods yourself?
Or allow mod authors to add custom filters?

[vbgamer45]

Yes. I plan to add more filters from mod authors. Quickly did the mods that I know.

there is an error on the smf parser when you add link to a post or topic with "!!" in the urls without URL tags... it will cut the link, can we make some workaround??

IE:
original: http://google.com/exclamation!!!!!
created link: http://google.com/exclamation

Hi again,

I have just installed this mod and the URL's are saying "oops this  link appears to be broken"
Is there an easy fix?

Here is a link to the test page

Thanks

Do you have mod_rewrite enabled if you are using apache? Or if you are using IIS you need isapi_rewrite

You'll have to use [url] tags. This is a problem with SMF, not this mod.

peterf, does your server support everything this mod needs?

[peterf]

Thanks vbgamer,

I am using cpanel, where would I enabled mod_rewrite? The pretty url files are in my sources folder.

I would think so it seems to support everything else I have needed, but to tell the truth I don't know,

I also installed SimpleSEF would this be causing the problems?

I have tried to change the settings in options to "all files are writable" but it dosn't seem to let me, and I was going to try and install again once all the files were writable, may this have worked?

Peter

[vbgamer45]

That would cause issues you can only have one url rewriting mod so you either pick Pretty Urls or SimpleSEF

[peterf]

Thanks again vbgamer, I un installed both and reinstalled pretty and it now works fine.

Thanks,

Peter

Glad you got it working!

Let me try to find the article.

Thanks.

In case you want to add support for Aeva Media sooner rather than later... Here's my code.
The following should take charge of /media/, /media/album/123/, /media/item/123/ and all download variants (/media/media/123/, as silly as it sounds -- can't really change the sub-action's name. ) It's untested so use with caution.

// Pretty URLs for Aeva Media
$prettyFilters['aeva'] = array(
'description' => 'Aeva Media filter',
'enabled'  => 0,
'filter'  => array(
'priority'  => 38,
'callback'  => 'pretty_aeva_filter'
),
'rewrite'  => array(
'priority'  => 38,
'rule'  => array(
'RewriteRule ^media/(thumba?|preview)/([0-9]+)/?(.*)$ index.php?action=media;sa=media;in=$2;$1;$3 [L,QSA]',
'RewriteRule ^media/(?:(album|item|media)/([0-9]+)/?)?(.*)$ index.php?action=media;sa=$1;in=$2;$3 [L,QSA]',
),
),
'title'  => 'Aeva Media Pretty Filter <a href="http://aeva.noisen.com/" target="_blank">Website</a>'
);

As for the filter, it's harder because it's based off the stuff I wrote 2 years ago. Hopefully it's still valid in the latest PrettyURLs... (I've changed some of the code on-the-fly to avoid using a subdomain, since I don't believe subdomains are supported by PrettyURLs anyway.)

// Filter Aeva Media URLs
function pretty_aeva_filter($urls)
{
global $boardurl;

$pattern = array(
'~.*[?;&]action=media;sa=media;in=([0-9]+);(thumba?|preview)(.*)~S',
'~.*[?;&]action=media;sa=(album|item|media);in=([0-9]+)(.*)~S',
'~.*[?;&]action=media(.*)~S',
);
$replacement = array(
$boardurl . '/media/$2/$1/?$3',
$boardurl . '/media/$1/$2/?$3',
$boardurl . '/media/?$2',
);
foreach ($urls as $url_id => $url)
if (!isset($url['replacement']) && strpos($url['url'], 'action=media') !== false)
$urls[$url_id]['replacement'] = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $url['url']);
return $urls;
}

Thanks Nao have added the code for Avea Media filters and committed it.

[Nao 尚]

Lol... Tu quoque, vb!!
Sorry, it just makes me laugh how everybody tends to misspell Aeva... The easier ones say 'AEVA' (all caps), then there's the super-classic 'AVEA' (I believe it's a Turkish word, that would explain), recently saw 'AEVEA' and 'EVEA', now apart from your 'Avea' in this post, I see you logged the commit as 'Aveva'...
Maybe I should have just used Cyna Media, like I was planning... I would have had a chance of it having been spelt correctly, lol.

Anyway, joke aside, thanks for the commit! I forgot I had commit powers, too. Maybe I'll use them in the future if I ever install a clean PrettyURLs 1.x on a test site. Right now I feel so awfully disconnected from it.
