Pretty URLs

[my evil twin]

nevermind.
i found it out while frickeling with the mentioned file.

[MarioH]

hi, first that quite thank you for this fantastic MOD, nowadays I use 0.9 and I still have a doubt.

It is possible that them ";" one changes them for "/"?

I explain, for example

/?sa=statechange;id=15;type=block;sesc=d6056560bbb9188af1706cd9ec0b0a57

for

/?sa=statechange/id=15/type=block/sesc=d6056560bbb9188af1706cd9ec0b0a57


Thnks for you help.

Sorry for my english

How do I exclude one action from the pretty urls? I want to remove arcade.

I tried removing it from the .htaccess but it converted the links to /arcade/ and it went to a 404 because there was no arcade in .htaccess.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brian

No. Not that it would be any better.

[brianjw]

This solved everything thanks.

Also, by looking at the filter file thing...

Could I manually add actions from the custom action mod to make them work? If So, How?

[Dannii]

You can add them to the pretty_action_array setting, but whenever maintenance is run they'll be removed again.

[brianjw]

Well, tell me this:

1.) How EXACTLY to add them to the pretty_action_array setting? (in find & replace instructions would be best: tell me how to do it with multiple actions)

2.) How to manually run the maintenance without the link but just by editing files?

[Dannii]

It's a serialized array. You can use the PHP functions serialize() and unserialize() to turn it from a string to an array and back again. Make up a little PHP file to do that.

Maintenance is just a function. You can call it from any page if you've included Subs-PrettyUrls.php.

Can I manually change the URL set-up for a forum board so that it is different to that of what the board has been named?

For example:

Britney Talk would usually be /britney-talk/ but what if I wanted so it would be /britney-spears-forum/ but the board would still be called Britney Talk.

[saneone]

I've got a problem with this mod...

My forum's (SMF 2.0 Beta 3.1p) address used to be: http://aaz.nazwa.pl/acl
and pretty urls 0.8.4 worked flawlessly...

Then I bought a domain, so now it's www.motone.pl
Normally my adresses look like this: http://www.motone.pl/index.php?...

I want them to look like: http://www.motone.pl/category/topic

So I installed Pretty urls again, but the mod doesn't convert the adresses correctly...
Pretty urls for functions don't work and I get 404 errors...
It works for categories/topics, but it gives my old adress http://aaz.nazwa.pl/acl/category/topic instead of
http://www.motone.pl/category/topic...

I'm clueless... Can someone help me?

In 0.9 you can change a board's URL in the manage boards page.

Check that the pretty_root_url setting (in smf_settings) is correct.

Hi, first of all I'd like to say thanks for an amazing mod that all serious forum owners need.

Second, I'm about to install this (auto via my admin) and have a few questions..

1- Will this work with 1.1.5 without any further coding needed?

2- What happends to the former (DUPLICATE CONTENT) URL's, are they 302 directed to the new URL?

3- What happens if you have 2 forums on Index.php with the same name, same URL right?

4- Please PM me your paypal email addy so I can send you a beer after install

[brianjw]

I think I can answer some of these for you, roulettered56.

1- It works on SMF 1.1.5. If you have other mods installed it is POSSIBLE that errors may occur during the installation, but I have over 50 mods installed on my site and this mod installed with no errors.

2- I -think- that the old URL's still work but they do not redirect. But all the links in SMF automatically change to the ones pretty urls provides.

3- I don't understand what you are asking...

[goldenboy48]

Hello awesome Dannii,

Is it possible to eliminate () brackets from my URLs?

[mark7144]

Awesome, ETA for 0.9?

It should work fine in 1.1.5, and the old URLs are 301 redirected, not 302.
I'm not sure what you mean by having two forums...

PanesarV, you can remove those lines from Subs-PrettyUrls.php though that will only change it for new topics.

mark7144, I'm not sure.. I don't have a lot of time. 1.0 is pretty much complete now though, I just want to finish the design of the admin panel. Functionally it is complete. You can get a 0.9 snapshot from the download page.

Hi there.

I have just installed this mod and when I've came back to the site I couldn't see the site.
Instead I get this message:

"Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, admin@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/1.3.33 Server at localhost Port 80

500 Internal Server Error"

The thing is I have checked all the posts looking for a case like me and no threat can solve my problem.

I have the Smf installed in localhost with Easyphp so I don't have the problem of the Chmod and the permissions( all the folders are writable).  I also checked my .htaccess file but I don't have it and maybe is this the problem but I don't know how to create a good .htaccess file.

Could anybody guide me trhought the solutions?

Thanx in advance.

[brianjw]

Osmaga,

Sometimes it is possible that Internal Server Errors are created because of Duplicate of the code. I recommend using the Package Parser. Upload the pretty urls mod, select your version of SMF, choose uninstall, and then all edits. Uninstall the entire mod manually. Once you've uninstalled the mod manually, then look through the files again and follow the uninstall instructions again to just check for any duplicates. Then save the files and upload the files over again and try installing again. (Internal Error Should be gone after full uninstall manually)

Is there anyway to disable the use of PHP session IDS? I hate that Google will index my forum with those,

The .htaccess file should be created automatically, if PHP has write permissions. If you're in Windows hopefully this won't be a problem. Are you actually running Apache though? You may need to manually enable .htaccess and mod_rewrite.

SMF already does that. If the user agent matches Google it won't use the session parameters.

Why are PHP sessions used for your mod? I've never had it on my forum before. Just curious
