Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted June 19, 200915 yr 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.http://forums.invisionpower.com/topic/285504-how-to-change-furl/ but not this?: http://forums.invisionpower.com/topic-285504/how-to-change-furl/
June 19, 200915 yr 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.
June 25, 200915 yr Author I'll send ticket about this. I have had problems with this and I don't know why.
June 25, 200915 yr Can this be done easily using .htaccess ? If yes, can anyone publicly post how to do this
June 25, 200915 yr .htaccess maps an INCOMING url to a script. You need to edit some files in IPB to change how IPB actually generates the url.
June 25, 200915 yr Author I made only very little change this The second variant is prettier for me :)topic/285504-how-to-change-furl to topic-285504-how-to-change-furl
June 25, 200915 yr 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/
June 25, 200915 yr Author I translated links to my language as well. This was one big reason why I wanted knowledge about IPB FURL.
