FURLs

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 was

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

Or something similar? 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.

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.

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;
