ᴡᴅツ Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I went here: 1. Tools & Settings >2. System Settings >3. System >4. Server Environment To enable friendly URLs but it's not happening. How is this supposed to be done in beta 5? I have imported a test database fine. All of the (thousands and thousands) of existing threads do not have friendly URLs.

chasz Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 errhhm does rewrite have to use apache rewrite mod or is it a rewrite in php?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 If you have mod_rewrite available you can get rid of index.php in the URL. If not, you can still use friendly urls but it will be formatted like sohttp://domain.com/forums/index.php/topic/12345-Topic-title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCB-Mo Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Is there any way we can change the way the URLs are done? Because it looks really weird if you have your forum running in a directory on your site called "forum" and you go into a forum and are then left with a url which looks like http://www.random.com/forum/forum/1-new-forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Yes, it has been discussed and posted elsewhere already. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ᴡᴅツ Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 [quote name='bfarber' date='14 May 2009 - 09:44 PM' timestamp='1242333882' post='1801815'] admin/applications/forums/extensions/furlTemplates.php What editing needs to be done over there? (furlTemplates.php) I understand that I need to add mod_rewrite to .htaccess: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /forumz/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !..+$ RewriteRule . /forum/index.php [L] </IfModule> and $INFO['use_friendly_urls'] = '1'; to conf_global.php.

bfarber Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 You should post that sort of question in the peer to peer forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCB-Mo Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 that was pretty easy to sort out, the downside is that with every upgrade I will have to go into the code and edit that file. Small price to pay i guess :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Just keep a backup of the file. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
