Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
July 29, 20186 yr 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.
December 27, 20186 yr Is this still not resolved?! I hate some of my FURLs being ugly due to this.. @Charles @Matt Edited December 27, 20186 yr 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" },
October 18, 20195 yr @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, 20195 yr by Maxxius

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

September 10, 20204 yr 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.

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. Removed? What removed exactly? 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.
November 6, 20231 yr 18 hours ago, Amoxil44 said: Still not fixed? Comon guys This is not something that is 'fixed' there, as its actually not a bug as such. 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.
