Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Yesterday at 02:04 PM
Optic14 Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 Bumping this. I have 2 apps where I have changed furl.json, which I'm fine with editing and rebuilding cache via the support tool. But it starts to get tiring having to do this manually again whenever I have to update the apps.
LukasGr. Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) Is this still not resolved?! I hate some of my FURLs being ugly due to this.. @Charles @Matt Edited December 27, 2018 by LukasGr. @user didnt work..

BTW I am running IPSv4.2.5 Same problem here... If I set "topLevel": "", it works but discover isn't the home page anymore, even with : "forums": { "friendly": "categories", "real": "app=forums&module=forums&controller=index" },
Maxxius Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) @AlexWright thank you so much for this post! It helped me make the IDENTICAL fURLs I had customized back in the day on 3.4.x to be the same in 4.4! BTW my default app will be Pages. What you did not mention that you have to translate is "topLevel": "forums", to your language. Thus I was able to translate this toplevel fURL and translated the rest in ACP and in the end I got results such as: http://website.com/forum/f1/forum-category-name/ http://website.com/forum/t46405/topic-name/ Basically you have to do this for every app you want to translate, go to its folder, find furl.json file and edit it. Today IPS support told me this can't be done, but there it is. 🙂 Edited October 18, 2019 by Maxxius CoffeeCake 1

So it cannot be done following the rules in stock form as noted in your ticket. Maxxius 1

Until there's a fix for this ^^; xtech and Maxxius 2
xtech Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 This is a prevalent issue since 4.0 was launched. IPS needs to fix this. Maxxius and DreamOn 1 1
Adriano Faria Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 I wouldn’t expect that before IPS5 as they already said it would require a rewrite of the FURL stuff. But Lindy said (here in this topic or elsewhere, couldn’t find it) that wasn’t the goal to work like that so it may be removed at some point. xtech 1
DreamOn Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Up... Same problem here. Weird that no member of the IPS team intervenes here.

Ability to change furls thru json file? What would be one BAD decision if they don't make a fully cuztomizable furl customizing thru ACP. And like how it is now - its not fully customizable. Nice but not full and we need full.

It's the way in which the system is designed. So its unfortunately not something that can be changed without quite a large change to the FURL system. As such, its very very unlikely to be something that is changed any time soon. This would be being changed for quite a small number of our customers, however the changes we would need to make to implement it would impact every customer.
