Excellent! I had installed earlier and had the problem with new topics but then I've read the bug fixes posts and now works perfect.

Just a question though, I have a topic (not to mention boards) that use special characters (e.g., tópico de teste) which then becomes ".../tpico-de-teste/". I know this would probably require quite some work but wouldn't it look better as ".../topico-de-teste/" ?

Thanks for the great mod :)
Oh sure, but what's the speed of dark?

Uninstall the mod, delete the pretty_topic_urls table and the pretty_url column from the topics table, and then reinstall the mod. That will reset everything.

Hi,

ac99 recommended me your mod, and because my forum is in portuguese I'm having the same problem he had.

I followed what you told him, changed the Subs-PrettyUrls.php and deleted the pretty_topic_urls table and the pretty_urls rows in the settings table.

But I can't find where the pretty_url column is in the topics table. It's not there, I checked the structure, and it isn't there.

I uninstalled the mod, I deleted all those rows and tables, except for that column which I can't find. And installed it again and still it doesn't work as I wanted.

I'm using SMF 1.1.2 and your mod's version prettyurls-base_0_6.

What can I do? My forum is in portuguese, encoded ISO-8859-1. I need this mod to change the board's names and the topics names as well.

I have a board named "Anúncios e Regras" and your mod turn this to anncios-e-regras (the "u" is gone).
My forum is at hxxp:forum.redcodestudio.com/ [nonactive]

I hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance.

Those characters are there, however if you're not using UTF-8 it won't work properly. Same for redhotmustang, UTF-8 will work better.

Yep, the topics table isn't modified anymore.

Thanks! I'll try later, but as I said ac99 had the same problem we did (it seems that there are more than one portuguese people in this topic ;) ) and he uses ISO-8859-1 and not utf-8, and he wasn't got this problem.

But I don't care, if this works with utf-8 I'll use it anyway.

EDIT: Nope, that's impossible. If we use the utf-8 encode in portuguese forums or pages the words with special characters become misspelled like an||ncios instead of anúncios.

The UTF-8 conversion should take care of those characters. It it doesn't, that's a SMF bug.

Hi,

I've not updated to the latest version, so maybe this has been already addressed, but if the board name contains an exclamation mark, then a link placed somewhere else on the forum referring to a thread on that board will fail. I'm unsure of this is really a problem with SMF or not, but by using this mod the board name becomes part of the URL - normally it does not, of course.

Yes, the SMF conversion to UTF-8 didn't work for me either. I've did it manually (nothing like iconv). Anyways, it works like a charm... but for new topics. How can I re-generate the pretty urls again so they look all nice?

Thanks for the reply before :)

I thought about fixing this myself, but really it's a bug with SMF. I reported it on the bugtracker, but I don't know if anyone's done anything about it yet.

nitio, uninstall the mod, and delete the tables it creates. If you want to regenerate the board urls, delete the rows in the settings table the mod makes as well. They all start with "pretty_"

Why would it be a bug in SMF?  Your code should be encoding board names and removing characters that may cause issue, such as the !, or a /, etc.

Perfect! Of course, having to re-edit the bug fixes in version 0.6 took me some time (my ssh connection is AWFUL to the server today).

Thanks again for this great mod!

The mod follows the RFC defining URIs. It's a bug in SMF that stops quicklinking from following the standard. Note that normal links using the [url] tag work.
If lots of people complain I will reconsider making the fix myself.

Hi Eldeka,

Unless I'm mistaken, in a standard SMF installation, board names never appear as part of the URL, so special characters are not an issue. If ever a standard installation did make use of boards names as part of the URL, then it certainly would be an SMF bug. If, however, this is only ever an issue when using your mod, then I'm inclined to think that it is bug with your mod.

Even if this error only ever occurs with your mod (or similar mods) installed, it might be nice if SMF did make the fix so that SMF is compatible with such modifications. There is, after all, at least one other mod that changes URLs in a similar manner. However, I'd be surprised if SMF went to the trouble of making the fix, so, I for one, would appreciate your fixing it.

Thanks Eldeka. This is still a great a mod.

It's not just my mod, any url with a ! can't be quicklinked, even though they're quite valid.

I think so. I've only tested with MySQL 4 and 5 (curiously the server with MySQL 4 has PHP 5 and the server with MySQL 5 has PHP 4...) but as SMF officially supports MySQL 3.23.4+, I'm sure I can get it to work for you too.
For those with MySQL 3.23, edit your install.php as follows:
Code (find) Select
`log_time` TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
Code (replace) Select
`log_time` TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,Hopefully that will work.

No, there are no theme changes, even to the default theme.

Can you copy your .htaccess here please?
Did you make these changes?

Thanks eldAka, I will try the fixes you have mentioned. Will get back to here if there is any problems. I don't have direct access to the .htaccess as the site is in a cheap hosting. I will try and move the site to my hostmonster hosting soon.

Thanks for this much needed mod. The google ads are very relevant when this mod is installed. cheers mate.
