Pretty URLs is a URL management package for Simple Machine Forums (SMF).

It is simple, powerful, extensible and free. Most of all, it is pretty! Its main purpose is to rewrite the important SMF URLs, like these:

http://domain.com/board/topic/
http://domain.com/profile/user/
http://domain.com/unreadreplies/

Pretty URLs will work with SMF 2.1.x, SMF 2.0x, SMF 1.1.x It requires an Apache webserver with support for mod_rewrite and .htaccess files.

prettyurls-extras-1.0-RC.zip - Provides rewrite filters for mods including seo4smf, Tinyportal Articles, Tagging System, Download System, ezPortal Pages, SMF Gallery, SMF Articles, SMF Classifieds, and SMF Store

* KGIII decides to poke at it seeing as no one else seems to have made much use of it.

Wish me luck.

Anything I need to know before hand? (Going to try it on a dev site first I suppose so, I probably won't actually get a response from you before I've broken stuff.)

Can you post a screen shoot?

Bump!

I installed on my test server and didn't see anything that jumped out on me. It was looing a my base URL, but no sure what it was supposed to do.

I deleted for now.

There isn't anything to post a screen shot of. It changes the urls of your forum, not the templates.

You can see an example of it at: http://dev.eldacar.com/prettyurls/index.php

To install:

Download and install the base package from the mod site.
Using FTP, rename example.htaccess to .htaccess
Download the extension-none (and the TP-ext-none if you use TinyPortal) package from the Package List, or just from the site directly, and then install them.

Please note that this mod is still in beta testing (by you!), so there could be problems. I've been using it my live site for a few months though, and haven't had any serious issues.

Dannii · « **Reply #13 on:** January 31, 2007, 10:38:19 PM »

1.1 RC3 isn't supported sorry. Can you upgrade to 1.1.1?

Hit an error on Sources/BoardIndex.php found it to be related to using the board viewers mod. The fix was to make one change to the installation routine

change:

Code: [Select]

		<operation>
			<search position="replace"><![CDATA[
				'new' => empty($row_board['isRead']) && $row_board['posterName'] != '',
				'topics' => $row_board['numTopics'],
				'posts' => $row_board['numPosts'],
				'href' => $scripturl . '?board=' . $row_board['ID_BOARD'] . '.0',
				'link' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?board=' . $row_board['ID_BOARD'] . '.0">' . $row_board['boardName'] . '</a>'
			);
]]></search>
			<add><![CDATA[
				'new' => empty($row_board['isRead']) && $row_board['posterName'] != '',
				'topics' => $row_board['numTopics'],
				'posts' => $row_board['numPosts'],
				'href' => $modSettings['pretty_root_url'] . '/' . (isset($context['pretty']['board_urls']) ? $context['pretty']['board_urls'][$row_board['ID_BOARD']] : $row_board['ID_BOARD']) . '/0/',
			);
			$this_category[$row_board['ID_PARENT']]['children'][$row_board['ID_BOARD']]['link'] = '<a href="' . $this_category[$row_board['ID_PARENT']]['children'][$row_board['ID_BOARD']]['href'] . '">' . $row_board['boardName'] . '</a>';
]]></add>
		</operation>

to:

Code: [Select]

		<operation>
			<search position="replace"><![CDATA[
				'href' => $scripturl . '?board=' . $row_board['ID_BOARD'] . '.0',
				'link' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?board=' . $row_board['ID_BOARD'] . '.0">' . $row_board['boardName'] . '</a>'
			);
]]></search>
			<add><![CDATA[
				'href' => $modSettings['pretty_root_url'] . '/' . (isset($context['pretty']['board_urls']) ? $context['pretty']['board_urls'][$row_board['ID_BOARD']] : $row_board['ID_BOARD']) . '/0/',
			);
			$this_category[$row_board['ID_PARENT']]['children'][$row_board['ID_BOARD']]['link'] = '<a href="' . $this_category[$row_board['ID_PARENT']]['children'][$row_board['ID_BOARD']]['href'] . '">' . $row_board['boardName'] . '</a>';
]]></add>
		</operation>

The string is still unique and what I removed remained uneditted anyway so no real need for it to be included.

I should add the above is found in Major.xml in the prettyurls-ext-none_0_3.tar.gz package

Dannii · « **Reply #16 on:** January 31, 2007, 11:09:14 PM »

Hmmm, honestly, I can't remember why I have that long search string. I'll have a look at changing it for the next release

KGIII · « **Reply #17 on:** February 01, 2007, 08:30:50 AM »

eldʌka...

I will have you know that I had to install that HUGE thing manually. Every last bit (I tried the above tweak but I have a heavily modified forum) of it in the MessageIndex.php file... So far, as near as I can tell, I only missed one comma and everything seems to be working just fine. It installed perfectly on a pretty bare version of SMF but for those of us with modifications (and even with default themes) it is possible but plan on spending a few minutes with it.

Ouch! yeah the 51kb one is pretty crazy.. Surely they all weren't conflicting though? Only a few changes should have had problems. And as I plan on adding a ob_exit filter, it won't matter if a few get missed.
