error 500 wen the ".htaccess" file is :

   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ /index.php?action=sitemap;xml

   RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedBurner
   RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ http://feeds2.feedburner.com/smfarabic  [R,L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule (.*) index.php

Your .htaccess file isn't formatted properly... please see the help section in the SimpleSEF settings and format the rewrite conditions to have the proper line spacing.

[Mayhem30]

Please port this over to 1.1.11 

[vbgamer45]

Be great for SMF 1.1.x. Also note you can probably get this to work with IIS6 if you have http://www.isapirewrite.com which supports .htaccess for IIS6

changes not effecting SimpleSEF :/ ,

eg : Forum Name > /forum-name/
if i change it to Other Forum Name , it still /forum-name/ 

[SlammedDime]

The board names are cached for up to 1 hour, as it's not something that happens regularly... empty your file cache in the SMF admin panel and that will fix the issue. 

I've added this bit to the FAQ on the first page.

[SlammedDime]

Nice one SlammedDime but there is a problem with Turkish characters, they aren't shown in the url.
Topic name: ŞşĞğİıÖöÜü

I believe I've solved this issue now.  I'd like to send you a revised SimpleSEF.php file to test before I publish it if I may.  If that's okay, please PM me your email address.

Thanks for the great mod, just gave it a try. One problem I would like to report is that when there are 2 boards with the same name it doesn't seem to use an alternate alias for the other boards with the same name.

This is a "dirty" version of a nginx rewrite config. Ideally one would use try_files but this will work at least. It assumes your forum location is in /forum/

Code Select Expand


location @forum_missing {
rewrite ^(.*)$ /forum/index.php last;
}

location /forum/ {
error_page      404 = @forum_missing;
}


Then remove the following code from the bottom of ManageSettings.php

Code (php) Select Expand

// We don't want to break boards, so we'll make sure .htaccess or web.config exists with the right info before enabling
if (!empty($_POST['simplesef_enable']))
{
if (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'IIS') !== false && file_exists($boarddir . '/web.config'))
$_POST['simplesef_enable'] = strpos(implode('', file($boarddir . '/web.config')), '<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />') !== false ? 1 : 0;
elseif (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'IIS') === false && file_exists($boarddir . '/.htaccess'))
$_POST['simplesef_enable'] = strpos(implode('', file($boarddir . '/.htaccess')), 'RewriteRule (.*) index.php') !== false ? 1 : 0;
else
$_POST['simplesef_enable'] = 0;
}

Yea, this is a known 'issue' of sorts... I'm thinking of implementing a workaround that adds a number to the boardname if it already exists, or maybe it's parent name... haven't quite decided which avenue to go down yet.

[SlammedDime]

Ensiferous - Thanks for that.

Of course, you can send it

I tried to install the mod - everything was fine until I've tried to activate it.
When I try to put the check and push the save button, nothing happens - the checkbox is empty again and the mod is not active. I've checked all the files by hand - what should be installed was installed. Do you have any idea why this happens?
Is it supposed to happen when there is no Microsoft URL Rewrite or mod_rewrite running on the server or there could be another reason?

[Afro]

and the major differences between this and the pretty mod is ?

[Arantor]

Less code changes, probably faster too.

Pretty URLs modifies a lot of code from what I remember - this doesn't make any edits to SMF at all, I believe, other than the admin panel.
