#ESY Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hello, I went to invisionpower board from phpbb3, and the topic links are very different. For example, this is phpbb3: http://www.sitename.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=88&t=21331 This is IPB: http://www.sitename.com/forum/index.php?/topic/21331-TOPIC_TITLE_HERE/ Can I find a certain topic by its id? I know the ID from phpbb3, but I can't just modify the link because I need the title too. Thank you. TomatoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 What do you mean by “find” the topic? Through the search function? Access in the browser URL bar? Or from within a script? …? Regarding the address bar, you can just access the topic through /00000-something Which means: the ID followed by a hyphen and something else. Example to access this topic: https://invisionpower.com/forums/topic/436181-doesn’t-matter https://invisionpower.com/forums/topic/436181-x https://invisionpower.com/forums/topic/436181-hello All forwards to the same topic.

#ESY Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 I didn't know that I could've written anything after that dash and it would still forward me to the topic I was looking for. Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
