Mod_rewrite will now rewrite to the profile page properly, without redirecting it. But now, it shows I'm no longer logged in when I'm on a rewritten page, even though I am. When I try to log in. It just reloads the page. Here's the mod in_user_profile_link(): <pre><code>function get_user_profile_link( $id = 0, $page = 1 ) { $user = bb_get_user( bb_get_user_id( $id ) ); $rewrite = bb_get_option( 'mod_rewrite' ); if ( $rewrite ) { if ( $rewrite === 'slugs' ) { $column = 'user_nicename'; } else { $column = 'ID'; } $r = bb_get_option('uri') . "profile/" . $user->$column . ( 1 < $page ? "/page/$page" : '' ); } else { $r = bb_get_option('uri') . "profile/" . $user->$column . ( 1 < $page ? "/page/$page" : '' ); } $r = str_replace('forums/profile/' . $user->$column , "profile/" . $user->$column, $r); return apply_filters( 'get_user_profile_link', $r, $user->ID ); }</code></pre> My goal is create a short URL such as <a href="http://www.example.com/profile/username" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/profile/username</a> mrhoratio on "Permalinks Slugs Modification - removing forum" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum#post-16041 Wed, 07 May 2008 21:28:59 +0000 mrhoratio 16041@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Chris, you have a point. However the URL structure of forums and topics always begin with "forum" or "topic". As in: <code><a href="http://www.example.com/bbpress/forum/pets-discussions/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/bbpress/forum/pets-discussions/</a></code> <code><a href="http://www.example.com/bbpress/topic/my-sweet-dog" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/bbpress/topic/my-sweet-dog</a></code> So it would seem that it should be possible to remove the "bbpress" from the URL without interfering with a Wordpress installation. Having said that, I think the solution proposed in the thread I referred to in my last post (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/nicer-slug-url-rewrite-plugin-done) is a much more elegant solution for shortening the bbPress URLs. chrishajer on "Permalinks Slugs Modification - removing forum" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum#post-16040 Wed, 07 May 2008 21:20:37 +0000 chrishajer 16040@http://bbpress.org/forums/ It could work like that I think if there were no website (like WordPress) in the www root. Otherwise, how does the server know it's a bbPress page vs. a WordPress page? If you are running a forum only on a domain, then it would be silly to have it in any sort of directory at all. Otherwise, if you have a website in the root, you have to put bbPress into some sort of directory to prevent confusion. mrhoratio on "Permalinks Slugs Modification - removing forum" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum#post-16038 Wed, 07 May 2008 20:55:09 +0000 mrhoratio 16038@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Just found an earlier thread which hits on a similar problem with shortening the bbPress URL: <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/nicer-slug-url-rewrite-plugin-done" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/nicer-slug-url-rewrite-plugin-done</a> In the thread's example. In shows you how to shorten a url like: <code><a href="http://www.example.com/bbpress/forum/pets-discussions/topic/my-sweet-dog" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/bbpress/forum/pets-discussions/topic/my-sweet-dog</a></code> to: <code><a href="http://www.example.com/bbpress/pets-discussions/my-sweet-dog" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/bbpress/pets-discussions/my-sweet-dog</a></code> Now, if it could also be shortened to: <code><a href="http://www.example.com/pets-discussions/my-sweet-dog" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/pets-discussions/my-sweet-dog</a></code> That would be even better. mrhoratio on "Permalinks Slugs Modification - removing forum" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum#post-16034 Wed, 07 May 2008 19:52:04 +0000 mrhoratio 16034@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hi Bobby, yes I added those lines to the .htaccess file as well.

Here's what I did: I have my bbPress directory installed in a directory called "forums" in the root web directory. So the URL to access the forums' home page is: <code><a href="http://www.example.com/forums" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/forums</a></code> and accessing a forum titled "test forum" is at this URL: <code><a href="http://www.example.com/forums/forum/test-forum" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/forums/forum/test-forum</a></code> a topic titled "test topic" is at this URL: <code><a href="http://www.example.com/forums/topic/test-forum" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/forums/topic/test-forum</a></code> I implemented your hack, and changed "forum" to "board" in the template-functions.php. I copied the rewrite rules from rewrite-rules.php and placed them into .htaccess file in the root web directory. I also added the two lines of code you suggested in that file: <pre><code>RewriteRule ^board/(.+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^board/(.+)/?$ /forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]</code></pre> I also tried adding this to the rewrite-rules.php: <pre><code>RewriteRule ^board/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ <?php bb_option( 'path' ); ?>topic.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^board/([^/]+)/?$ <?php bb_option( 'path' ); ?>topic.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]</code></pre> When I go to this URL: <code><a href="http://www.example.com/board/test-forum" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/board/test-forum</a></code> I get a 404 error. However, when I go to this url: <code><a href="http://www.example.com/forums/forum/test-forum/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/forums/forum/test-forum/</a></code> It redirects and changes the URL in the address bar in the browser window changes: <code><a href="http://www.example.com/forums/board/test-forum/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/forums/board/test-forum/</a></code> That also brings up a 404 page. Also, when I go this URL: <code><a href="http://www.example.com/topic/test-topic" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/topic/test-topic</a></code> The URL works, but it redirects and changes the URL in the address bar in the browser window changes to: <code><a href="http://www.example.com/forums/topic/test-forum" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/forums/topic/test-forum</a></code> I am a little perplexed as to what is going on. bobbyh on "Permalinks Slugs Modification - removing forum" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum#post-16025 Wed, 07 May 2008 17:03:49 +0000 bobbyh 16025@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I wanted the forum-specific URLs to look like this: * <a href="http://boards.weddingbee.com/board/beehive" rel="nofollow">http://boards.weddingbee.com/board/beehive</a> If you make the right edits to that core file and an htaccess file, I think the URL can be anything you want... mrhoratio on "Permalinks Slugs Modification - removing forum" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum#post-16024 Wed, 07 May 2008 17:01:25 +0000 mrhoratio 16024@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hey bobby, just curious. Why did you have to change the second "forum" to "board"? Is there anyway to just leave it as "forum"? bobbyh on "Permalinks Slugs Modification - removing forum" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum#post-16020 Wed, 07 May 2008 09:19:42 +0000 bobbyh 16020@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I did something similar, but it required a core hack. I renamed the second "forum" to "board". It required two steps: 1. With version 0.8.3, I modified line 363 of /bb-includes/template-functions.php to this: <code>$link = bb_get_option( 'uri' ) . "board/" . $forum->$column . ( 1 < $page ? "/page/$page" : '' );</code> 2. I created an htaccess file by copying the text from /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php, with two extra lines: <pre><code>RewriteRule ^board/(.+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^board/(.+)/?$ /forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]</code></pre> mrhoratio on "Permalinks Slugs Modification - removing forum" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum#post-16017 Wed, 07 May 2008 03:26:48 +0000 mrhoratio 16017@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hey, I'm trying to figure this out also. Anyone figured out a way to remove the first "forum" in <a href="http://www.example.com/forum/forum/forum-name." rel="nofollow">www.example.com/forum/forum/forum-name.</a> So that the URL is shorter? I tried doing it with mod_rewrite, but having some issues with bbPress automatically redirecting. noelgreen on "Permalinks Slugs Modification - removing forum" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum#post-10851 Fri, 07 Sep 2007 17:35:04 +0000 noelgreen 10851@http://bbpress.org/forums/ There has got to be a fairly easy way to remove the "forums/" slug from the URL... anyone know how yet? sambauers on "Rewriting up one level" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/rewriting-up-one-level#post-10532 Tue, 28 Aug 2007 01:50:42 +0000 sambauers 10532@http://bbpress.org/forums/ My advice is don't try to change <code>bb_repermalink()</code>. Just to qualify myself, I rewrote <code>bb_repermalink()</code> a while back to implement slug-based permalinks. It's a tricky beast, and the most complex part is the profile-page case. But if you must, then you should start by turning debugging on <code>$bb->debug = 1</code> in config.php should do it. Then when you hit your link you should get some readable debug info at the top of your page. The critical part of stopping the redirect is on line 1708 of bb-includes/functions.php, you have to make that condition happy to stop the redirect to it's preferred permalink location. That may involve simply modifying the <code>get_user_profile_link()</code> and also the <code>get_profile_tab_link()</code> functions, but I'm not 100% sure about that. fabianzaf on "Rewriting up one level" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/rewriting-up-one-level#post-10530 Mon, 27 Aug 2007 23:40:37 +0000 fabianzaf 10530@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Awesome!

This assumes that your bbPress install is in a subdirectory of your sites root called "forums". These rules need to be added before any WordPress rules. The rewrite will work, but bb_repermalink() will change the URL so that it appears as it normally would. <pre><code><IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^users/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /forums/profile.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^users/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /forums/profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^users/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /forums/profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^users/([^/]+)/?$ /forums/profile.php?id=$1 [L,QSA] </IfModule></code></pre> fabianzaf on "Rewriting up one level" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/rewriting-up-one-level#post-10506 Mon, 27 Aug 2007 00:10:23 +0000 fabianzaf 10506@http://bbpress.org/forums/ can I get a reply on this please fabianzaf on "Rewriting up one level" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/rewriting-up-one-level#post-10496 Sun, 26 Aug 2007 12:26:40 +0000 fabianzaf 10496@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I already edited the template-functions.php to $r = bb_get_option('uri') .

If I want to do an SEO rewrite with Rewriterule that causes the file to be written up one level... (the equivalent of browser-side linking "../") how would I do that? for example, I have Rewriterule ^profile/ etc etc What do I do.. "/profile/"? "../profile/"? "$/profile/"? No idea really.. any thoughts on this would be great. I basically want it to go up one level and ignore my forums directory.. so instead of /forums/profile/ its /profile/ sambauers on "Permalinks Slugs Modification - removing forum" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum#post-6351 Tue, 03 Apr 2007 23:42:24 +0000 sambauers 6351@http://bbpress.org/forums/ > Is the 'forum' the "forum" I want to remove? No. It's a little more complicated than that. In fact, that part you say needs to be hacked, needs to be left completely alone. Really, you are asking for a world of pain by attempting this. It took me hours to write and test the slugs support. Seriously, just rename your forum directory - it's not worth the hours you will spend.

I tried to follow how the links are made in functions.php.

Your .htaccess file may be correct, but the links generated on the forum won't work without changing the what those functions expect. I suggest you change the name of the subdirectory you are placing your forums in - that would be the path of least resistance..
