Pretty URLs

[Dannii]

There is none, those are the instructions for a very old version of the mod. The instructions in the first post are:

# Download and install the base package from the mod site.
# Enable the filters in the Features and Options page
# If you have changed the base url to something different from $boardurl, you can install the actions-ext-none package too.

Lol, I feel stupid! It's running perfectly now though

Thanks very much for the awesome support! I had a look through the support forums for the other SMF SEO mods and you are definitely the most helpful. Thank you very much for being so supportive of all of us

One more question ... I know this is still in Beta, but I'm really keen to use it on my site. Since it's working fine on my test site (which will eventually be going live), I'm assuming it will be safe to use. Or should I wait till it's out of Beta?

Ryan,

[Dannii]

It should be fine, I use it on several sites. It's not stable yet though, so upgrading may take a little bit of work, though I'll try and make that easy too. But the day-to-day running of it should be fine.

There are lots of issues remaining in v0.7 and even in the 0.8 cvs... For instance, splitting and merging topics should bring unexpected results. I don't think it is advisable to use it on a production board, except if it's not huge and you can cope with following the beta release process.

I do quite a bit of splitting and merging of topics but my forum is quite small.

What type of 'unexpected results' do you mean? When I tried merging and splitting a few topics on my test board it worked fine, albeit the URLs matched that of only one topic, but I'm not too bothered by that. Are there more serious problems I could encounter?

[Dannii]

No, the only thing is that the new topics won't get pretty URLs.

Which we should start working on

Like what I am seeing... Installed the most recent package (uploaded 2 days ago) and everything went fine...

I remember reading though that there was TP support... is that a separate download that I am not seeing somewhere?

Thanks for a great mod...

[Dannii]

Pretty much everything is in the base package now, and it still supports TP. It doesn't rewrite TP's articles though.

[Smasher]

That is why I was asking... I have a few articles that I noticed did not change the URL...

Is there something that prevents rewriting a URL for an article?

I was trying to figure out how to make the title of the article the end of the URL and then I had found this mod... and thought it was the answer...

I do thank you though for a great mod... it makes the rest of the site look so much better...

Meh, that's a minor thing. I'm not too bothered by a few topics having non-pretty URL's. Google isn't indexing my forum at all at the moment, so this mod will probably help quite a lot.

I just haven't gotten around to writing one yet

Now in TinyPortal I think there is an option to display the page name already, so it would be something like index.php?page=title rather than index.php?page=number

If that's the case it will be very easy to rewrite that into /page/title/

I will have to look into that more.... thank you

Well....after 48 pages i decided to upload this mod without issues yet.   We'll see what this thing does.

[viulian]

I have converted Pretty URL .htaccess rules (generated for Apache) into the rewrite rules needed by nginx. And Pretty URL just works

Hey, just installed the latest version of SMF and the base pretty URL mod, worked flawlessly... then installed the profiles pretty URL mod and the index page of the forum refused to load... just white nothingness. Uninstalled the profiles mod and everything seems to work again.  Is this a known issue?  Paged through this topic a little, then realized it was almost 50 pages and figured it would be easier to ask.

[Nao 尚]

You're aware that the Search box inside a topic will only search through this very topic, right? (It's one of these little things I like in SMF...)

[DarrenDriven]

I hadn't realized that... but in doing so now I am still not sure of the problem.  I would assume that if the package didn't work on a new version of SMF it would say so on the package download page... but I didn't see that anywhere. 

Oh well, I uninstalled it and I will watch this topic for mention of anyone else having problems... or a solution.

This mod will interfere with the arcade mod.

When users try to play a game, a message shows:

"You need to enable javascript in order to play games. "

I removed the this mod and the arcade is now playable.

Note*  when i installed the pretty url mod,i had no errors.


Something to look at if youre having arcade problems.

[Dannii]

viulian, interesting, is that httpd used widely? Maybe we could make it generate the rules for it automatically.
