Indeed, that's one of the greatest mods out there. Its functionality should really be baked into SMF proper...

Why?

what does it do that is so important that it should be included in the core?

Produces SEO- and human-friendly URLs, I suppose. I see absolutely no need to have URLs like the ones that SMF natively produces - these tend to be a thing of the past.

This has absolutely no effect on SEO.
Requiring words in URLs as part of SEO is "a thing of the past" as you put it.

As far as human friendly... sure.
That matters for things like blogs - not so much for forums

it's a great mod... I see no need for it in core, though.

Interesting; source?

most of the articles telling you to use "pretty urls" are dated form 3 or more years ago.
Here is a recent article describing the situation

https://www.hobo-web.co.uk/search-engine-friendly-urls/

the biggest thing is that there is ONLY a benefit if the URL "keywords" actually match real content on the page itself (not just the title of the post)

As has been said - and as with most things that differ between blogs and forums - Forum SEO is less than useful in most cases, because the forum content is not optimized and is user generated without thought to search engines.  Blog articles and fixed content websites are different because the content is correctly presented best for optimizing the search engines (header tags, content, strong/emphasis tags, and matching title, URL, description to content...)

that last one ONLY matters if the title, URL and description actually match keywords in the page content.

And get prettyurls-reverter-1-0RC2.zip
I've tried that and when trying to run it, I get this message:

Sorry, this is getting ridiculous.
Tried 2.0.10 and 2.0.05 still the same message.
Why can Pretty Url's install on 2.0.15 but the reverter can't?
What version is the reverter compatible with?

vbgamer45

Try SMF 2.0 RC3 or just SMF 2.0

Installed this mod in fresh SMF. And getting these errors:




8: Undefined index: pretty_enable_filters
File: public_html/Sources/Display.php
Line: 74

if ((isset($context['pretty']['oldschoolquery']) || $context['pretty']['query_string']['board'] != $context['pretty']['board_urls'][$board]) && $modSettings['pretty_enable_filters'])




8: Undefined index: pretty_enable_filters
File: public_html/Sources/MessageIndex.php
Line: 50

if ((isset($context['pretty']['oldschoolquery']) || $context['pretty']['query_string']['board'] != $context['pretty']['board_urls'][$board]) && $modSettings['pretty_enable_filters'])

Please help me to sort it out. Mod working but getting these errors constantly.


----------------SOLVED---------------
Looks like these errors appears if you have installed mod but haven't enabled it. Once I enable it - looks like these errors not coming up again.

Glad you have figured it out
