MyBB Community Forums

as I know mybb 1.4 will have search engine friendly url's options

but I don't know the exactly feature in this option

so here is a little suggestion for it.

give us a free link format set up, as example give us some variables such as
{$fid} ,{$tid}, {$title} to allow us to set up our friendly url's format

as example if I want my url's for the forumdisplay to became like that
http://sitename.com/forum-name-f-X/
or
http://sitename.com/forum-name-f-X.html
where X is the forum id

so I will insert some thing like the following in the setting.
/{$title}-f-{$fid}/ or
/{$title}-f-{$fid}.html
if I want it to not use the title in the url's so I may use this
http://sitename.com/forum-X/
or
http://sitename.com/forum-X.html
so I will insert some thing like the following in the setting.
/forum-{$fid}/
or
/forum-{$fid}.html
and the same thing for threads url
so I can make it like
http://sitename.com/forum-name-f-X/thread-name-t-X/
or
http://sitename.com/thread-name-t-X.html
where X is the forum id, and thread id.

so that what I meant whene I said free links format,
I think it'll be great to give us the ability to set how our links will be formated.

There's already examples of seo urls on Chris Boulton's blog

yup I saw it b4, so we well able to change it only via global.php and .htaccess files,
it's not too hard to modefi it my salf, but I think it'll be nice if we get it as options
what do you think guys?

You should not be changing the SEO urls generated by MyBB. They are designed to work the way we have developed them to.

Further to this, pulling titles in to the URL is ineffecient, especially with the number of places these items are linked from as well as the fact that the MyBB database is not designed to support this.

Our implementation is basic and for further features you will still need the SEO plugin.
