Pretty URLs

[pooya]

I open my website with www.khu.com okay

But when i click on the boards it opens   khu.com/general-discussion.

Now i want prettyurls to make it www.khu.com/general-discussion.

Hope i make sense. Cause when i turn off pretty urls it works fine.

You'll need to insert some rules before pretty urls does in .htaccess. I don't know what rules to use, you can Google for them.

Ummm nope its something with to do with pretty urls, when off my linking works with www in it on boards but when on it dosent.

[pooya]

Found the cure

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

A big problem, installed the Pretty URLs, but my server still don't supports mod_rewrite & .htacess. What should i do ? I can't login to Admin Panel, also can't disable or uninstall it coz it gives 404 error.

Hey guys, great mod. I've searched around Google and the readme but can't figure this out - is it possible to setup Pretty URLs if your forum is on a subdomain of your domain? Such as smf.example.com?

The mod installs fine for us, but the URLs it generates are for example.com/smf for boards and topics, even though our SMF server settings are setup as smf.example.com and even though we've performed Pretty URLs maitenance and SMF maintenance for fixing errors and optimizing tables.

How can we set this up so that all our URLs are like this: smf.example.com/board-name/topic-title/

Thanks guys.

You'll have to change the pretty_root_url setting if you've moved the forum since installing the mod.

BUGS REPORT (snapshot version) : when rewrite action URL is enabled, we can not do file maintenance (delete old attachment file).

Make this change to Security.php:

Code (find) Select Expand

if (!empty($from_action) && (!isset($_SESSION['old_url']) || preg_match('~[?;&]action=' . $from_action . '([;&]|$)~', $_SESSION['old_url']) == 0))

Code (replace) Select Expand

if (!empty($from_action) && (!isset($_SESSION['old_url']) || preg_match('~[?;&]action=' . $from_action . '([;&]|$)|' . $boardurl . '/' . $from_action . '~', $_SESSION['old_url']) == 0))

Hi

I have the pretty urls mod installed and I want to know how to add custom actions to the pretty urls filters because I installed also the SMF Sitemap mod and I want to change the URL http://forums.drpennystock.com/index.php?action=sitemap to URL http://forums.drpennystock.com/sitemap.

Thanks

Thanks Dannii. How can we do this? We tried reinstalling with no luck. I see pretty_root_url $txt settings in the language files but I don't know where else we can change this in the Pretty URLs installation/database.

Great mod Dannii, it is a real legend.

But I've a question; one my user is asking whether he can use my mod SimplePortal with Pretty URLs. I didn't had the stuff to test both of the mods. But my mod only adds ?action=forum and uses ?sa=articles;start=1. Would they cause any problems?

That should be fine.

Run maintenance to update the list.

Look in the smf_settings table.

It worked, many thanks for the the fast reply.

That did the trick, thank you. Almost forgot to fix up our .htaccess file also...!!

Maybe you can include a warning to users on the mod's page to add rules to their .htaccess. Not sure if that was supposed to be automated but it didn't work for us, we had to edit our our .htaccess file (maybe related to our subdomain problems?).

Anyway, thank you.

The mod should automatically edit the .htaccess file, unless PHP doesn't have file permissions to do so.

How can I include the topic title in the description?

Right now the description is the first 55 characters of the message, what I want is the description begin with the title of the topic and only after that the first words of the message.

In a SEO perspective, the description is also very important, and, 99% of the time, the first words of a message has nothing to do with the topic.

Thanks

[Dannii]

This mod has nothing to do with meta descriptions, though I think there might be a mod to do that already.

[Dr Web]

Of course not, my apologies, I posted here instead of in the vBulletin Style Meta Tags mod topic, that I also have installed.

Sorry.

Edit: Ignore. Check the post after this.

Hello Dannii,

I contacted you though TinyPortal.net through PM about using Pretty URLs for TinyPortal articles. I installed your new 0.9 snapshot, which messed up my forum. Reinstalled everything on my forum. Trying to install 0.8.4 again and I'm getting this error:

Code Select Expand

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/ecricnet/public_html/Packages/temp/./SMF1-1/install.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/ecricnet/public_html/Sources/Packages.php on line 552
