It would be an interesting port for bbPress but I am too burnt out on bbPress stuff right now to give it a go. I highly suggest the phpmyadmin method for now to just manually edit the permalink since it's a one-time deal. gio500000 on "Permalink and slug rebuild?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalink-and-slug-rebuild#post-17643 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 13:50:57 +0000 gio500000 17643@http://bbpress.org/forums/ There's a great redirection plugin I use with wordpress to fix that issue. Maybe if this became a feature a plugin could be created to fix the old links indexed in the search engines.

However it would break any links you have in search engines. If you have access to phpmyadmin you could edit the forum permalinks directly if need be. gio500000 on "Permalink and slug rebuild?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalink-and-slug-rebuild#post-17617 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:34:06 +0000 gio500000 17617@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I'm using the name based permalinks. After renaming a forum title the slug or permalink did not change. Is there a rebuild permalink feature similar to wordpress?

If you write a new post in a new topic, after the submitting the form, you are redirected back to the forum's front page, instead of the forum you were on. I spent some time digging around the get_post_link() related functions, and couldn't figure out exactly what was going on. However, I was able to make this modification to the bb-post.php file to get it to redirect properly. Paste this after line 43, in bb-post.php of bbPress 0.9.0.2 <code>$link = str_replace('forums/', "forums/". $forum->$topic_slug, $link);</code> mrhoratio on "nicer slug url rewrite plugin (done!)" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/nicer-slug-url-rewrite-plugin-done#post-16042 Wed, 07 May 2008 21:31:39 +0000 mrhoratio 16042@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I just found a blog post about this, where the author has made the code into a plugin.

It redirects to home page. You will need to manually type the link to go inside. • In case you type something which does not exists as <a href="http://sitename.com/<bbpress-directory>/sdaksda" rel="nofollow">http://sitename.com/<bbpress-directory>/sdaksda</a> it returns <a href="http://sitename.com/<bbpress-directory>//" rel="nofollow">http://sitename.com/<bbpress-directory>//</a> .

(Sorry for my bad english. I tried to be verbose in order to avoid my bad english affect your understanding) I wrote a plug-in, in order to have the best rewrite rules (in my opinion :p ) in the world. this plugin achieves two things: One: I need to show, in the URL, the logical parent-to-child relation between forums and topics, so <a href="http://www.example.com/bbpress/topic/my-sweet-dog" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/bbpress/topic/my-sweet-dog</a> URL has to show the forum that contains the topic, and become <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> when performing the rewrite, the rules totally ignore the forum part, so it's only a visual thing. and, more difficult, Two: I need to shorten the URL and have fewer subdirectories, so <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> has to lose the useless "/forum/" and the useless "/topic/" parts, and become <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> ATTENTION: you cannot do the second thing without the first thing. you must be able, in rewrite rules, to discriminate between a topic and a forum. you then will have that forums have one string (the forum slugged name), while topics have two strings (the forum slugged name and the topic slugged name), so you can do that, and /pets-discussion/my-sweet-dog will belong to "My Sweet Dog" topic in "Pets Discussions" forum In order to do so, I need to - modify forum link creation - modify topic link creation - modify rewrite rules - avoid a forum to have a reserved name, as using bbpressfolder/forumname to reach a forum is risky! I have to prevent a forum from having a slugged name like "bb-admin"!!! here's a list of reserved words: - all words with a dot. those are files, like style.css and so on. the slugged names never have a dot. I have only to avoid rewrite of dotted words. - all bbpress subfolders and special folders. these are all that start with bb-* , my-* - every other reserved word already used by rewrite engine: tag, profiles, view, rss All this is achieved adding a "r-" string in front of the slugged string. so a forum named "My Forum!" will have "r-my-forum" as slugged name. Unfortunately, this filter operates also for topic names and maybe other things. this mean that a topic named "rss" will have "r-rss" as slugged name. Not so bad, in facts. So these are the operations: - add a filter to get_forum_link (delete the "/forum" part) - add a filter to get_topic_link (add the "forum/slug-forum-name" in the link, and eliminate the "/forum" and "/topic" parts) - modify the rewrite rules (I used IIS isapirewrite, but apache is pretty the same) - add a filter to bb_slug_sanitize (avoid a forum to have a reserved word as slugged-name, like "rss", "profiles", "my-plugins", etc And there is the code for these operations: <pre><code>function my_get_forum_link_filter( $link , $forum_id = 0 ) { //retrieve the forum object $forum = get_forum( get_forum_id( $forum_id )); //check for rewrite $rewrite = bb_get_option( 'mod_rewrite' ); if ( $rewrite ) { //what kind of rewrite there is? slug use "forum_slug" column, else the column is "forum_id" $column = ($rewrite === 'slugs')?('forum_slug'):('forum_id'); // change /forum/pets-discussions in /pets-discussions // this work only if the rewrite module is modded! // and this work only if the slugged name will NEVER // be a reserved word like "rss" or "bb-images" // and this is achieved by a filter on bb_slug_sanitize $link = str_replace('forum/' . $forum->$column , $forum->$column, $link); } return $link; // Very important line! } add_filter( 'get_forum_link', 'my_get_forum_link_filter' ); function my_get_topic_link_filter( $link, $topic_id = 0) { //retrieve the topic object $topic = get_topic( get_topic_id( $topic_id )); //retrieve the forum object that is the topic container $forum = get_forum( get_forum_id( $topic->forum_id )); //check for rewrite $rewrite = bb_get_option( 'mod_rewrite' ); if ( $rewrite ) { //what kind of rewrite there is? slug use "forum_slug" column, else the column is "forum_id" $column = ($rewrite === 'slugs')?('forum_slug'):('forum_id'); //create the "forum/pets-discussions" chunk to show the hierarchical relation forum->topic $forum_nice_uri = "forum/" . $forum->$column . "/"; //attach the hierarchical chunk to the link $link = str_replace(bb_get_option('uri'), bb_get_option('uri') . $forum_nice_uri, $link); // change /forum/pets-discussions/topic/my-sweet-dog in /pets-discussions/my-sweet-dog // this work only if the rewrite module is modded! // and this work only if the slugged name will NEVER // be a reserved word like "rss" or "bb-images" // and this is achieved by a filter on bb_slug_sanitize $link = str_replace('forum/' . $forum->$column , $forum->$column, $link); $link = str_replace('topic/' . $topic->$column , $topic->$column, $link); } return $link; // Very important line! } add_filter( 'get_topic_link', 'my_get_topic_link_filter' ); function my_bb_slug_sanitize_filter( $text_slug, $text_original = '', $length = 0 ) { // add "r-" by regex when the string begins with "bb-" or "my-" or is a reserved word return preg_replace('/^(my-.*|bb-.*|rss|tags|view|profiles)$/', 'r-$1', $text_slug); } add_filter( 'bb_slug_sanitize', 'my_bb_slug_sanitize_filter' );</code></pre> And there's the rewrite rules! ATTENTION!!!!! these rules are for IIS isapirewrite, so these are to be modded to work with apache! sorry but I don't have any apache installation to play with. It's a simple task, anyway.

Even a regex wannabe can find out googling. <pre><code># first we rewrite the pages for normal slug-rewrite usage RewriteRule /bbpress/tags/([^/\?]+)/page/([0-9]+)(?:\?(.*))? /forum2/tags.php\?tag=$1&page=$2?3&$3: [I,L] RewriteRule /bbpress/tags/([^/\?]+)/?(?:\?(.*))? /forum2/tags.php\?tag=$1?2&$2: [I,L] RewriteRule /bbpress/tags/?(?:\?(.*))? /forum2/tags.php(?1\?$1:) [I,L] RewriteRule /bbpress/profile/([^/\?]+)/page/([0-9]+)(?:\?(.*))? /forum2/profile.php\?id=$1&page=$2?3&$3: [I,L] RewriteRule /bbpress/profile/([^/\?]+)/([a-z-]+)(?:\?(.*))? /forum2/profile.php\?id=$1&tab=$2?3&$3: [I,L] RewriteRule /bbpress/profile/([^/\?]+)/([a-z-]+)/page/([0-9]+)(?:\?(.*))? /forum2/profile.php\?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3?4&$4: [I,L] RewriteRule /bbpress/profile/([^/\?]+)/?(?:\?(.*))? /forum2/profile.php\?id=$1?2&$2: [I,L] RewriteRule /bbpress/view/([a-z-]+)/page/([0-9]+)(?:\?(.*))? /forum2/view.php\?view=$1&page=$2?3&$3: [I,L] RewriteRule /bbpress/view/([a-z-]+)(?:\?(.*))? /forum2/view.php\?view=$1?2&$2: [I,L] RewriteRule /bbpress/rss/(?:\?(.*))? /forum2/rss.php\?1&$1: [I,L] RewriteRule /bbpress/rss/forum/([0-9]+)(?:\?(.*))? /forum2/rss.php\?forum=$1?2&$2: [I,L] RewriteRule /bbpress/rss/topic/([0-9]+)(?:\?(.*))? /forum2/rss.php\?topic=$1?2&$2: [I,L] RewriteRule /bbpress/rss/tags/([a-z-]+)(?:\?(.*))? /forum2/rss.php\?tag=$1?2&$2: [I,L] RewriteRule /bbpress/rss/profile/([0-9]+)(?:\?(.*))? /forum2/rss.php\?profile=$1?2&$2: [I,L] # then we have a rule for special words, so they are left as they are, and the isapi module does not proceed further RewriteRule /bbpress/(my-.*|bb-.*|rss|tags|view|profiles)(/.*)? /forum2/$1$2 [I,L] # then we have the forum and topic rules. # ATTENTION: we DO NOT rewrite a dottet word, because dotted words can be files like style.css and so on # before there are the topic rewrites, that are longer # ATTENTION: note that the forum name is totally skipped trough ?: notation.

For example, if I have four topics named "Test" the slugs would be: <ul> <li><a href="http://www.example.com/topic/test" rel="nofollow">www.example.com/topic/test</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.example.com/topic/test-1-2" rel="nofollow">www.example.com/topic/test-1-2</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.example.com/topic/test-1-2-3" rel="nofollow">www.example.com/topic/test-1-2-3</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.example.com/topic/test-1-2-3-4" rel="nofollow">www.example.com/topic/test-1-2-3-4</a></li> <li>And so forth...</li> </ul> I'd imagine by the 50th topic, the URL would become quite unwieldy. Surely only the last slug number is necessary. Is there any way to fix this? Since these are supposed to be permalinks, it's somewhat urgent. karaboga on "Changing the slug of permalinks like topic, profile" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/changing-the-slug-of-permalinks-like-topic-profile#post-8234 Tue, 19 Jun 2007 06:48:20 +0000 karaboga 8234@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Thank you very much, but I am not able to write any plugin. :) mdawaffe on "Changing the slug of permalinks like topic, profile" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/changing-the-slug-of-permalinks-like-topic-profile#post-8224 Tue, 19 Jun 2007 04:24:41 +0000 mdawaffe 8224@http://bbpress.org/forums/ You can change some of the views (untagged, no-replies, ...) with a plugin filtering on <code>bb_views</code>.

You'll also have write a plugin that filters on <code>get_topic_link</code>, <code>get_forum_link</code>, and so on or bbPress will end up in an infinite redirect loop. karaboga on "Changing the slug of permalinks like topic, profile" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/changing-the-slug-of-permalinks-like-topic-profile#post-8220 Tue, 19 Jun 2007 04:11:25 +0000 karaboga 8220@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hi, my request will be useful especially for people using non-English bbPress versions. There are some permalinks which are not translateable or changeable in bbPress. For example, in WordPress, we can change the slug of the permalinks for "category". I think it will be very appropriate if that kind of property is added to bbPress. These are some of that slugs: topic, profile, forum, view, no-replies, untagged, tags, replies (By the way, can we change these slugs by any hack?)
