Links change when i set 'Pages' default

[Feneroin]

Hello

I have installed and tested Pages but when i set it 'default', forum links change, add /forums/ to links. 

com/topic/  to com/forums/topic/

But i want to save com/topic/ , is it possible?

Because i want to use Pages just for showing LATEST TOPICS and STATS from Forum. That's all.

Nope, not possible. Once you stop using an app as the default app, it becomes a part of the URL. Gallery = /gallery, Commerce =/store, Forums = /forums etc.

So my all threads and posts will be /forums/topic/.........

it will be a little long and redirected 😭

Hmm can i change 'forums' to just 'f'? If yes, it will be easy?

So the links will be like '/f/topics/...

No and yes.

No, there is no in-built way to do this.

Yes, you can do it by editing core files. However, IPS does not support this and won't do it for you, so you will need to be self-hosted.

If you wish to go ahead, then this is how to do it:

Thank you @Meddysong

Last question:

I have removed 'topic' in

forums/topic/{#id}-{?}

 

So, now it's done: forums/{#id}-{?}

No problem at the moment but it can create an error soon or not?

I don't know for sure. Test it to get a better idea.
