Pretty URLs

[ziycon]

I would like to know if this mod will really improve the SEO of my forum ?

It will make your links much more friendlier and nicer for search engine crawlers which should help your site and it helps for keyword searches in some search engines.

It all depends on your site content and if the crawler likes your site/pages/links etc. I would recommend you do a quick search for SEO tips, there is loads of information out there that should answer all you want to know.

The quote in your signature, it is from my site! the "SITE RULES" tab! Could you please remove that? Thanks!

And my problem still hasn't ben solved...

It is? My bad... I was just looking at random websites and I was checking the site out when I noticed the huge "Site Rules"(In Capitals). I couldn't help it and I clicked it... I was really taken aback. It was kinda funny, but I realized I did the same thing in my site when I was 15. I did that for a month before I realized that it wouldn't work out.

Anyway, before I go off topic. I use this modification in one of my forums: xadro.net
Check it out if you want a demo of sorts.

Ok. I am 16, so I am not quite over it i guess...

But feel free to join! it is a general discussion forum with other linked SMF forums, geek-talk.kcmartz.com, sfd.kcmartz.com, and more later!!

Taking a look at your link...

EDIT:
mohd, how long did it take to get over 2.000 members and how did you do it? Please email me! (next to me, envelope button) and I will join your site!

I've just tried the mod... It looks pretty but it does some not so pretty things to the Cyrillic characters. 
I hope that in the near future there will be an update of this otherwise nice mod to support Cyrillic letters - it is otherwise not useful at all for my forum.

I am getting a lot of errors like this in my error log:

Code Select Expand

http://www.archiefans.com/index.php?pretty;board=feedbacksupport;topic=after-the-upgrade-to-do-list-new-features.0
8: Undefined index: can_approve_posts
File: /.../Themes/default/Display.template.php
Line: 780

This happens for both users and guests, everytime someone views a topic.

Dang, I had 0.8.4 and removed it and installed 1.0RC. Works fine for the forums, but I use SimplePortal and now it mucks the root url of / which should just go back to the domain.

So the URL with the old version of / would just go to www.rmcb5.com with 1.0RC it puts in /forums//

EDIT: Forgot to add, using SMF 1.1.11 and SimplePortal 2.3.1

[gietl]

One more thing, if I do Run Maintenance Tasks, it fixes that URL problem immediately. However, as soon as I start clicking around again it returns.

I went back to 0.8.4 because it works. In 1.0RC I noticed in .htaccess it sets a base path of something like /forums/ and that seems to be my issue both with using simpleportal and Gallery2 integration. Not to mention it always overwrites any other entries in .htaccess.

Still one of the best mods out there, keep working at it!

bjraines, sorry I haven't had the time to look yet, but I will.

Kcmartz & mohd7590, please take your discussions somewhere else, this isn't the place for it sorry.

ziycon, it should work fine with SSI.php. Are you having problems?

xxxnewbiexxx, it might, it might not. If you have incoming links with the link itself as the link text I think it will help. But mostly use it cause it's pretty and people-friendly!

Boby_, you can add extra characters to your Subs-PrettyUrls.php if you want.

Oldiesmann, I don't think that's related to this mod.

gietl, I don't see the problem you're describing. Oh that's cause you went back. I suggest you go to 1.0RC again. It will stop overwriting your changes to .htaccess if you put them outside the PRETTY URLS section.

[ziycon]

Its outputting the forums default link for SSI.php, you can view it at http://www.bumpzinthenite.com, on the right and the bottom.

The least of the problems was the .htaccess being overwritten, and the rewrites that were in there were in their own block outside of the pretty urls block. The larger issue for me is it FORCING the /forums/ on every URL. Most folks install forums under /forum or /forums. However, havign a start page or a portal means you have content at just /. If pretty urls is always forcing /forums/ into each url you can't easily get back to /. I hope that makes some sort of sense.

I still greatly appreciate the mod and would love to use a more current version. I can deal with the htaccess parts, that's not huge, but the bad URLs for / are.

Thanks! I'll give it a try.

I added the Cyrillic letters to Subs-PrettyUrls.php. Now the topics are converted nicely but the boards conversion is still not OK. Is there a different source for the conversion of the boards names?

[Dannii]

bjraines, are you still having problems?

ziycon, well that's weird. Try adding this after where you include SSI.php: ob_start('ob_sessrewrite');

gietl, can't you just move the forum to the root folder?

Boby_, you can edit the board URLs in the modify boards admin page.
