[TuT]Make Best Urls

[Ahmed S]

Hello guys

i m here to tell you how to make your forum with awesome urls

Page Manager Plugin[/code]
http://mods.mybb.com/view/page-manager
board from your pages links look like bad with this plugin?

mysite.com/misc.php?page=[pagename]

i can solve you this problem
to make it

mysite.com/[pagename]

go to your .htaccess
then add this code

Options -Multiviews

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Force search engines to use [b]yourdomain.com[/b]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^[b]yourdomain\.com[/b]$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://[b]yourdomain.com/[/b]$1 [R=301,L]

# Specify search friendly URLs
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]+)$ /misc.php?page=$1 [L]

the bold link change it with your link
if your site is subdomain
!^sub\.site\.com$
if is your forum as folder like mysite.com/forum
dont make changes leave it
add this code after

RewriteRule ^thread-([0-9]+)-post-([0-9]+)\.html$ showthread.php?tid=$1&pid=$2 [L,QSA]

make a good line between them
i dont know if you can put it somewhere else but i do that and work for me

If you are use Google SEO
open the google seo htaccess > go down you will see # Default MyBB Rewrite Rules: > then go down you will see RewriteRule ^thread-([0-9]+)-post-([0-9]+)\.html$ > put these codes after it

Add more than 1 link with page plugin
example
you add a page with page plugin and you want your url looks like
yoursite.com/about/me
i have the right way for you
first go to admin cp > themes > templates > your templates > header > and add this code

<base href="{$settings['bburl']}/" />

that will solve a big problem
when you make your link like mysite.com/about/me
the images will disappear and your links gonna be like for example
the search.php will be yoursite.com/about/search.php

RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]+)/([a-z0-9]+)$ /misc.php?page=$1/$2 [L]

add this after your first 1 your code will be like

Options -Multiviews

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Force search engines to use site.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^site\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://site.com/$1 [R=301,L]

# Specify search friendly URLs
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]+)$ /misc.php?page=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]+)/([a-z0-9]+)$ /misc.php?page=$1/$2 [L]

and if you want to add 3 places like
mysite.com/about/sites/google

just add this code

RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]+)/([a-z0-9]+)/([a-z0-9]+)$ /misc.php?page=$1/$2/$3 [L]

if you want more than 4
just add ([a-z0-9]+)/ next to the ^

---

Remove the .php from your link

want your link like that?
mysite.com/example.php to-> mysite.com/example
like search.php or portal.php

add this code to your .htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L,QSA]

add this between ^forum and ^thread

if you use google seo just find # Default MyBB Rewrite Rules:
and add it between ^forum and ^thread

dont forget to give me +1 if you like it
