Question about FURL

Featured Replies

Posted

This topic is related to How to change FURL?, but now I have only one question about links:


Why we have this:



In my opinion second variant looks better than first, topics number should be together with "topic" and name of topic should be stay alone. Therefore I want only simple answer what is reason why we use the first variant. I don't want answer like "Because Matt says so" but trully reason. If you look into my topic you'll see that I have had problems with second variant. Is that problem?


Because Announcements has link in format:

mytestboard.info/forum-109/announcement-7-oznamenie/

but forums and topics not.


Thanks.

There's no technical reason it couldn't be done. We simply used the first format. I can't think of any specific underlying cause.

I'll send ticket about this. I have had problems with this and I don't know why.

Finally partially fixed by me :) IPS only confirm my changes :)

Can this be done easily using .htaccess ?

If yes, can anyone publicly post how to do this

.htaccess maps an INCOMING url to a script. You need to edit some files in IPB to change how IPB actually generates the url.

The second variant is prettier for me :)

I would suggest anyone to use the ipb's default choose. It's one of the best if we valutate seo ;)
One of the best because the best is (and will always be imo) this:

YEAR/MONTH/DAY/ID-seotitle/
just because you can generate statics file when you have lots of thread, here is my example: (i hope it's not considered spam) http://techforum.it/usenet/

I translated links to my language as well.

This was one big reason why I wanted knowledge about IPB FURL.
