I'm working on this for a couple of hours (in total) and I've messed up. Could someone help me in this by explaining how this thing should look like? I mean - the above code is allowing me to type <code><?php echo page_link("1"); ?></code> and this will display url to static page with id=1, creating something like domain.com/page/1 or domain.com/page/about - so links are working. But now I want to send page ID to other functions that are selecting and displaying date from database - and I have no idea how to send this id in 'rewrited' version. Can anyone help?

I have a bbPress forum at 1&1, in a subdirectory of WordPress installation, and I never did get permalinks working (I last tried 18 months or so ago.) Now that you have shown it can be done, I will take my own advice, which was provided here first by hmcnally, and see if I can get them working again.

It worked ! Thanks so much chrishajer. But I must add that I moved bbpress to a upper level above my WP install and used a sub domain for the forums. Because following 1and1 instructions stated above in their email response, it did not solve the problem until I placed Options -MultiViews At the top of the htaccess file.

If mof_rewrite would work out of the box (i.e.: if bbPress would create the file or dump the necessary content) I wouldn't need MultiViews. Here is one aspect I'd like to through in: URL Customization/Localization. When localizing URLs, it's very easy to do this via editing of mod_rewrite rules. All my bbPress installations are in german language, thus I want german URLs. When changing the wording in URLs, e.g. from "forum" to "board" or "topic" to "idea" etc., same thing - just edit the rewrite rules. How easy would it be to customize URLs with MultiViews in effect? Without having looked into the implementation, I would guess that it requires code changes. If URL customization is easier in mod_rewrite, please drop MultiViews. Otherwise, please document how URL customization can be done using MultiViews. bobbyh on "Dropping "MultiViews" support?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/dropping-multiviews-support#post-16344 Tue, 20 May 2008 07:25:29 +0000 bobbyh 16344@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I too vote to drop multiviews. However, if enough people depend on this, could permalinks be made pluggable so that a multiviews plugin could be written?

I guess with their shared serving packages, the MultiViews just goes nutty (apparently it's enabled, though), and needs to be turned off before using mod_rewrite. They actually document this behavior at <a href="http://faq.1and1.com/dedicated_servers/managed_server/3.html" rel="nofollow">http://faq.1and1.com/dedicated_servers/managed_server/3.html</a> I guess this means I'm in favor of dropping MultiViews, though not fervently. jethrokapinksy on "Dropping "MultiViews" support?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/dropping-multiviews-support#post-15896 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 21:46:55 +0000 jethrokapinksy 15896@http://bbpress.org/forums/ i wish i knew enough to offer an opinion. i've known about mod_rewrite for years from trying to configure drupal and wordpress. never heard of/used multiviews... hope that helps. thierryyyyyyy on "Dropping "MultiViews" support?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/dropping-multiviews-support#post-15686 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:36:33 +0000 thierryyyyyyy 15686@http://bbpress.org/forums/ For me, mod_rewrite is the standard...

MultiViews could still be enabled on the server, it's just a question of whether bbPress uses it or not. Mod_Rewrite is better for a couple of reasons. For a start it is better supported, and it is also a lot more flexible. We are thinking about running all requests through a single page (index.php) just like WordPress. This is called a <a href="http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/frontController.html">front controller</a>, and is not as easily achieved with MultiViews. There is also the desire to reduce the amount of support traffic around this topic and standardising on one approach may help that. psheerin on "Dropping "MultiViews" support?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/dropping-multiviews-support#post-15513 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 16:28:13 +0000 psheerin 15513@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Can you clarify the impact of disabling MultiViews? Will this impact only bbPress content on a site, or do you need it turned off for the whole site? I like to mix WordPress, bbPress, and plain content for some images, PDF manual downloads, etc., and really need content negotiation/MultiViews supported in directories outside of WP/bbPress. And why is Mod_Rewrite better than MultiViews for bbPress? chrishajer on "Dropping "MultiViews" support?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/dropping-multiviews-support#post-15499 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 06:56:26 +0000 chrishajer 15499@http://bbpress.org/forums/ HowToGeek: I wonder if that's really true. I'd like to believe it is, but I wonder if there are really hosts that allow the MultiViews directive in an .htaccess file, but don't allow mod_rewrite. I'd like to believe it's true so that MultiViews goes away and bbPress gets proper rewriting via mod_rewrite, the sooner the better. And have bbPress generate the rewrite rules then create or edit the .htaccess file automatically, just like WordPress, while you're at it. phreakymonkey on "Dropping "MultiViews" support?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/dropping-multiviews-support#post-15498 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 05:57:16 +0000 phreakymonkey 15498@http://bbpress.org/forums/ chrishajer: Ah, sorry. mod_rewrite timskii: I could have sworn they had it turned off at some point, but maybe I am misremembering. The point is that hosters tend to do <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/smtp-plugin-request">stuff like that</a> (often without warning), so as robust a solution as possible would be ideal, naturally. *I'm a designer, not a coder, so I'm mostly talking out of my ass. timskii on "Dropping "MultiViews" support?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/dropping-multiviews-support#post-15490 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:51:37 +0000 timskii 15490@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Dreamhost does allow mod_rewrite. And technically they <a href="http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Content_Negotiation">do support Multiviews</a>, but as a .htaccess hack. However. I remember having terrible trouble trying to configure BBPress to use Multiviews, because it appeared to work, but didn't on certain pages. I ended up manually adding mod_rewrite. As an aside, in automating anything like this, keep in mind that people like to do strange things with their directories. One of the annoyances of Wordpress is that it assumes almost complete control of the layout of all directories below where it is installed.

There is at least <a href="http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/838">one ticket requesting automation</a> of the creation process via the admin area of bbPress (just like WordPress does). But the problem with that is that we support both the "MultiViews" and "mod_rewrite" methods of creating permalinks. In light of this and some other problems with "MultiViews" I'd like to gauge the possibility of dropping "MultiViews" support in favour of "mod_rewrite". What do you all think? Do you use "MultiViews" or "mod_rewrite"? Why? Would you really miss "MultiViews" support? itissue on "Permalinks" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-1#post-13095 Thu, 10 Jan 2008 23:16:18 +0000 itissue 13095@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I'm using the private messaging plugin but now I have to add code to my .htaccess page.
