Title: Changing the url
Post by: direndai on May 13, 2015, 03:00:50 AM
Hi :)

With some friends we are creating a forum, knowing very little about how to do it.
We were wondering if it is possible to adapt the url title of a subforum to fit our needs. Here is an example:

site.com/index.php?board=60.0 - typical url

site.com/subforumname/index.php?board=60.0 - desired url structure

Is this at all possible while still keeping same account access and forum structure?

thank you :)

what exactly do you mean by "subforum"

as far as SMF is concerned, site.com and site.com/suforumname are two different locations and would require two installations

the alternative is something like pretty urls that changes your normal URLs -- site.com/index.php?board=60 into site.com/boardname/

However, there are issues with prettyurls...   it does not play nicely with all mods and, once you've gone down that path, it is remarkably difficult to undo, if you don't like it.

@Kindred Thank you for your answer.

I wanted exactly what pretty urls does ^^
