Your own short URLs

@dmmcintyre3:

Better to use the direct PHP files and complete server URL for better 'compatibility':

rewrite ^/p([0-9]+)$ http://www.example.com/showthread.php?pid=$1#pid$1 permanent;
rewrite ^/t([0-9]+)$ http://www.example.com/showthread.php?tid=$1 permanent;
rewrite ^/f([0-9]+)$ http://www.example.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=$1 permanent;
rewrite ^/u([0-9]+)$ http://www.example.com/member.php?action=profile&uid=$1 permanent;
rewrite ^/e([0-9]+)$ http://www.example.com/calendar.php?action=event&eid=$1 permanent;
rewrite ^/c([0-9]+)$ http://www.example.com/calendar.php?calendar=$1 permanent;

This is awesome! And I would use it, except I like how on bit.ly it lets you track clicks.

WOW, i really want to use it with Google SEO. But how ? Could anyone show me ? Thanks a lots.

Ah, already known how to use it for Google SEO, just add this in your .htaccess then Google SEO will automatically rewrite the basic URL into Google SEO URL

rewrite ^/p([0-9]+)$ http://www.example.com/showthread.php?pid=$1#pid$1 permanent;
rewrite ^/t([0-9]+)$ http://www.example.com/showthread.php?tid=$1 permanent;
rewrite ^/f([0-9]+)$ http://www.example.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=$1 permanent;
rewrite ^/u([0-9]+)$ http://www.example.com/member.php?action=profile&uid=$1 permanent;
rewrite ^/e([0-9]+)$ http://www.example.com/calendar.php?action=event&eid=$1 permanent;
rewrite ^/c([0-9]+)$ http://www.example.com/calendar.php?calendar=$1 permanent;

Have fun, thanks querschlaeger

That would redirect it to the non seo url version instead. I can't really use the full url because I use a include file with all the rewrite rules in it for all my forums.

Just a brief note: the same schema can also make URLs involving "misc.php?page=" shorter.

I already have a rewrite rule set for that too.

This form

http://www.example.com/showthread.php?pid=$1#pid$1

always gives me MySQL errors, also with the Backlink on quoted posts. Anyone an idea why?

This URL redirects nice
