[2.0 RC3] remove index.php from the url

[Raffoz]

to remove index.php from the url i went to sources/querystring.php and i modified this code:

Code Select Expand

// Makes it easier to refer to things this way.
$scripturl = $boardurl . '/index.php';

doing:

Code Select Expand

// Makes it easier to refer to things this way.
$scripturl = $boardurl . '/';

the problem is that in the forum not all links will work...

anyone can help me?

i don't like that the spider google rec me with the /index.php

thanks...

a script url is an url to a script. index.php is a script file.
When you remove index.php from the url you don't have a script url but a directory url, something completely different.
SMF programm is expecting a script and a directory is found. I think this will never work properly.

Oh, you could do it with rewrite-rules, however there is absolutely no problem with having index.php in the URL; Google is more than smart enough to distinguish index.php from index.php?topic=1.0
