Pretty URL Redirects

[Brendon Koz]

I've manually typed in the URL to a specific sub-forum on these boards that I remembered the URL by heart. If anyone's as silly as me, or uses bookmarks to get to a specific sub-forum, they'd be greeted by the main index of the forum because of the small oversight.

The following URI:
http://forums.invisionpower.com/?showforum=178
...Becomes:
http://forums.invisionpower.com/?forum/178-community-forums/
...but it needs to be:
http://forums.invisionpower.com/forum/178-community-forums/

Notice the extra question mark. To be fair, I cheated and removed "index.php" from the original URI, and when it is restored to the URI, it works fine. Therefore, I'm not entirely sure if this is worth fixing or not (but should be a simple REGEX change). I figured I'd post about it regardless.

You should post bugs in the bug tracker to be sure they're not overlooked.

Not fixable. As you didn't specify an input file, the mod_rewrite code decides that you want it to figure it out. Could add another rule to mod_rewrite I suppose, but it's not something that IP.Board can 'fix'.

As I have not yet installed my own purchased board yet...is there ever an instance that the originating file being called is not the index.php file, when being called from the root folder? Granted, add-ons may make use of separate files, so I suppose that really can't be judged completely unless there are conventions that must be followed.

Thanks, guys!

No, everything routes through index.php
