Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted February 28, 201312 yr I'm experiencing difficulty in migrating my site's content databases over to IPC for one reason and it reminds me to highlight a suggestion and request, at least to confirm for version 4.0: No slug required to run IPC databases or that a single definable keyword will be assumed to be the IPC database so that it works like any other module/app and on one level. So how does IPS know that a "topic" means forum content? Because that's the defined keyword and you can have a URL that is simple: domainname / topic / postsubject+number With IPC, you end up with unworkable two tiered URLs that will typically never be able to be migrated from any CMS without 301 redirects: domainname / slug / IPC database / postsubject+number For most of my applications, having either one or definable database identifiers in a config file is the solution. Virtually all of my Joomla, Wordpress and Drupal blogs consist of the following pattern: domainname / blogname / postsubject+number That is the URL that we should have an option to use that would make our URLs cleaner and migration far easier. I wish we could accomplish this with 3.4.x although I don't see how that's possible without some coding that would use a single IPC database as the sole IPC identifier and remove one of the instances: e.g. domainname / identifier / identifier / postsubject to become just domainname / identifier / postsubject
