Pretty URLs

[TheDisturbedOne]

Ok they do have those two features enabled.  Do I have to maunally edit htaccess, because just installing the MOD gives me all 404s.  And yes I tried the suggestion on the google tracker

If you're sure they do have those features, you could try adding RewriteBase / to the top of your .htaccess file.

One thing related to that, this mod totally purges the existing .htaccess file, so even if you add RewriteBase / it will disappear the next time you run the Pretty URL maintenance. Is it supposed to be that way? I would prefer if it would only update those parts relevant to Pretty URL. Now I have to log in to my host and update the .htaccess manually after I have run maintenance and add RewriteBase / manually.

Agreed
But I still love the MOD, great for SEO.

Hi, I embeded SMF into some existing site. Basically I am doing this:

Code Select Expand

       
    site_header();

    ob_start();
    include (SMF_DIR . "/index.php");
    $buffer = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    $forumContent = ob_urlFix($buffer);  //here I manipulate the page to make sure all pages have header and footer
    echo $forumContent;
   
    site_footer();

Everything was working perfectly.

After install prettyurls, something is broken. Only the first page is still having the header and the footer and all the other pages are not.

I bet someone must have met this problem and have a pretty elegant solution. Could you please let me know where should I look at and what should i do?

Thanks!

I'm running SM v1.1.9 on Apache. How do you enable the filters in the the pretty url mod? The upload was successful through the package manager but I'm still outputting SM's default friendly URL's. Thanks.

[zidlicky]

Update: Everything is working fine! I realized their was a link under config for switching the mod on not too long after the original post. Works great. Thanks to Dannii for a great mod.

I'm curious as to why SM doesn't make real friendly URL's standard issue like in YaBB 2x+ for Apache? Mods are great, but I think most of the major BB players make this a  standard back end feature including VB. Just curious, not mad.

after i upgraded to 1.1.9, the menu entry of "Pretty URLs" is gone in the admin section...

Why aren't you using SSI.php? Anyways, you need to call obsess_rewrite().

after i upgraded to 1.1.9, the menu entry of "Pretty URLs" is gone in the admin section...

If you did a full upgrade then you'll need to reinstall the mod. If you used the patch... well that's strange.

Why aren't you using SSI.php? Anyways, you need to call obsess_rewrite().

Actually I implemented a bridge to integrate SMF into existing site(s).

Could you provide more details on how to use ob_sessrewrite() for fixing the problem? Just ob_start(ob_sessrewrite) ?

I have one SMF installed for more than one site. User can access SMF via multiple urls:
    www.sitea.com/fourms/forum.php
    www.siteb.com/forums/forum.php
They have different headers and footers.

Do you have suggestions on how to support this?

[manixless]

hello again

i still have 9.0 version. When i try to unistall this packeage print the error at  ./Sources/QueryString.php
Can you give me the instructions to unistall it manually? The package parser can read the xml file of this mod.

thank

Well then just do the reverse of what the package parser says.

hello
the parser don't work fine for me for this mod cause there are errors in the xml file, for this reason i ask to you what are the manually modifications that i need to do.

Yes, try ob_start('ob_sessrewrite');

This mod however won't be able to do what you want there. You'd have to pick one domain to use. Unless each site has it's own settings table?

What errors?
Also, you could just open up the xml file and do what it says. It pretty much explains itself...

I tried ob_sessrewrite, and it does not work. Only the first page has the header and footer.

Could you please provide a bit more details on where the prettified urls are processed? I love this MOD very much and I would like to see what I could do on top of the MOD.

Thanks a lot!

What do you mean by "first page" Can you show me some real links to your site?

[ForumIntegration]

What do you mean by "first page" Can you show me some real links to your site?

Sorry, I do not have real links for my site.

The "first page" means the landing page of the the forum. Say:
   http://rocyut1l.b2b.regn.net/iGamingCMS1.5/smf.php

In this page, the header and footer are ok. But after I click the board links in this page, the prettified url leads the browser to the forum directory, therefore the header and footer gone.
i.e. when I click the "General Discussion" board link in the landing page, I will be lead to "http://rocyut1l.b2b.regn.net/forum/general-discussion/"

I hope I can do some modification so that when I click the "General Discussion" link, I will be lead to "http://rocyut1l.b2b.regn.net/iGamingCMS1.5/smf.php/general-discussion/", and the page still have the header and footer.

Hope I made it clear.

None of those links are opening for me...

No, they are all on my local machine. Not public.

[TheDisturbedOne]

Ok they do have those two features enabled.  Do I have to maunally edit htaccess, because just installing the MOD gives me all 404s.  And yes I tried the suggestion on the google tracker

If you're sure they do have those features, you could try adding RewriteBase / to the top of your .htaccess file.

HOLY #$%^& it worked!  One more small thing.  I ran Pretty URLs about a year ago on a different server, different URL.  Some of the links are sending me to that old URL.  How do I change it?  The forum's URL is correct, but there is probably a line in the database (which I can't find) that controls it.  And yes I have run Pretty URL server maintenance.

And one more thing.  How do I make my htaccess so that I can have the MOD and redirects going simultaneously?

[fx991]

I found error 500 after installing ... Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered
what to do
which .htaccess has to edit and code

[aishaweb]

Pretty URLs is a URL management package for Simple Machine Forums (SMF).

It is simple, powerful, extensible and free. Most of all, it is pretty! Its main purpose is to rewrite the important SMF URLs, like these:

• [url][url]http://domain.com/board/topic/[/url][/url]
• [url][url]http://domain.com/profile/user/[/url][/url]
• [url][url]http://domain.com/unreadreplies/[/url][/url]

Pretty URLs will work with SMF 1.1 and 2.0. It requires an Apache webserver with support for mod_rewrite and .htaccess files. 


SMF Mod Site page
Home page: http://code.google.com/p/prettyurls/
Source code: http://code.google.com/p/prettyurls/source/browse/trunk
Downloads: http://code.google.com/p/prettyurls/downloads/list

To install:

• First check your server supports .htaccess per-directory config files and mod_rewrite
• UTF-8 is recommended, though not required. Certain functions will work unreliably with other encodings
• Download and install the base package from the mod site.
• Enable the filters in the new Pretty URLs page

Please note that this mod is still in beta testing (by you!), so there could be problems.

If you get into trouble, check the trouble shooting page first!

If you want help, please post real links to your website that I can access. Thank you!
