Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted March 8, 200915 yr 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?
March 9, 200915 yr 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.
March 9, 200915 yr 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'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;
