Pretty URLs

[Arantor]

It's a mod, but I don't think it offers pretty URLs... not that pretty URLs are actually an SEO feature much any more.

I installed the prettyurls extra mod and I use EZ Portal. After going to pages I've created with the portal, it show's blank content on the page. These pages were created before installing prettyurls extras. Any help?

I left an example up:

EZ Portal Link: http://www.kingsislandexpo.com/index.php?action=ezportal;sa=page;p=3 [nofollow]
Pretty URL link: http://www.kingsislandexpo.com/ezportal/privacy-policy/3 [nofollow]

Nice mod!

But instead of taking the 'Title' of the post as url tag, can it allows me to determne the URL tag?

thnx.

that would be next to impossible  --  Think about a forum with 2 million posts...   you are going to go through and set the URL for every thread?  I don't think so.

Like wordpress. (optional editing of url tag)
It should automatically takes the title tag (like it is doing now) But still gives the option to edit the url tag for poster.

well, I disagree...   but I'll let the author respond further.

Because of the purpose of Pretty URLs is optimize for SEs.
Sometimes URL Tags are abrupty stopping.

Like at the end of URL: it says -
......./back-p/
Better like:
......./back-pain/

nope...  sorry... but that is distinctly wrong.

URLs have minimal (if ANY) impact on search engine ranking.
If SEO is the only reason you are using this, then you are wasting your time.

Not only search engines. My previous site has URLs where I set the URL tag. (300 pages of tutorials). I don't mind the url tags for the threads that users post. Before I move to SMF, i am making sure that to maintain same url is possible or not. (I am using SMF on other site but no mods are installed. Pretty basic forum)

Not without a lot of work. or writing a custom script to process/handle them.

[pittu]

1. There is an optional custom field during board creation and Post creation - 'url tag' (A simple mod exists for this custom field creation?)

2. Then change Pretty URLs code to use from 'title' to 'urltag' to display. First code checks 'urltag' if nothing there, it will take  'title' for url.

possible?

[Kindred]

if you code it...

(and no, a simple mod does not exist for that)

[pittu]

If I ask my programmer to do it and upload files here, authors of this mod will use these files for further development?
