Brandon D Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I don't usually care about the actual look of a URL, but I was writing an email to someone and had to paste a link to one of my posts. The link washttp://forums.invisionpower.com/topic/281758-its-so-beautiful-i-cried/page__view__findpost__p__1787536 Sorry, but the horribleness of that link became apparent as soon as I hit CTRL+V. Wouldn't it be better to do something like http://forums.invisionpower.com/t/281758-its-so-beautiful-i-cried/fp-1787536 Or something similar? At any rate, all of that is easily customizable, including the 'page__view__findpost__p__' part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Wers Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Yes, or this topic: This would be prettier: :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 At any rate, all of that is easily customizable, including the 'page__view__findpost__p__' part? No, that part is not customizable. Those are the parameters (view=findpost&p=12345) and must be provided as is. It's possible a modification can make them customizable, though I'd venture to guess it would take a fair bit of work.

Brandon D Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Ugh, that's the worst part of the URL =p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 It's possible a modification can make them customizable, though I'd venture to guess it would take a fair bit of work. Why are those not still parameters? That is, afterall, what they are. Surely /topic/23909-something-or-other?findpost=12345 would be fine? Especially considering that you don't really want 'findpost' links to be ranking anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially considering that you don't really want 'findpost' links to be ranking anyway. I can't really answer that. Everyone seems to have their own idea how the url should work. I'm largely indifferent. ;) We seemed to be indexed just fine before, and are being indexed just fine now. Hi i would love know how turn furl on because it not in admin cp ? You have to add it to the conf_global.php$INFO['use_friendly_urls'] = 1; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
