	I have a question: would the forum rules be still valid in cotonti Siena? I would like forum rewrites very much!<br />
	Would it be possible to use Siena's built-in nice urls for the site and additionally nice urls for forums?</p>

	Hello,</p>
<p>
	I have succeed to make Lombi's patern work partially at link <a href="http://smph.kommet.cz" rel="nofollow">http://smph.kommet.cz</a> </p>
<p>
	First I had to add some special signs into functions.custom.php since there are more of them in our language.</p>
<p>
	Then yet it works very good for forums only.</p>
<p>
	all forums like /forums.php?m=topics&amp;s=2 transformed to /forum/volne_povidani-s2.html</p>
<p>
	this list /list.php?c=news transformed to /news/</p>
<p>
	but all other lists like /list.php?c=articles failed to do anything</p>
<p>
	all pages like /page.php?id=170 failed to do anything</p>
<p>
	 </p>

	this mod is giving me a couple errors in firefox, 930 error and also when reloading or going back to home page after the error firefox says the page is in a redirection loop</p>
<p>
	 </p>
<p>
	this should be made an official mod/plugin included with cotonti from the packaged releases because its a very poweful mod to have. I had it so close to working.. just the htaccess , there is so much in there i had no idea where to begin to debug... oh well</p>

			<description><![CDATA[Either write a separate function for news or just edit the news template in:<br />
skins/yourskin/plugins/news.tpl<br />
and place the {PAGE_ROW_CAT} tag in the news url ^^ <br />
So that it looks: &lt;a href=https://www.cotonti.com/&quot;{PAGE_ROW_CAT}{PAGE_ROW_URL}&quot;&gt; <br />
previously: &lt;a href=https://www.cotonti.com/&quot;{PAGE_ROW_URL}&quot;&gt;<br />
<br />
Hi again;<br />
<br />
Ever tried to add a page in the frontend having the advanced url settings as described in article? It redirects me to www.mysite.com//pageid (page not found because no category is in the url)- hmm, what can be wrong?<br />
<br />
Do you experience something similar? Hmmm. It's quite irritating. :) The pages are added normally but the after-add redirect is screwed.<br /><br /><b>Added 120 days later:</b><br /><br />Somebody solved the problem described by me?<br />
I still can't get the answer.]]></description>

But the news plugin conflict with it. Now it have out links as site.com/(page id or alias) and it's give the 404 error, because need to site.com/(page cat(here it's &quot;news&quot;))/(page id or alias)<br />
How it can be fixed?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hmm, as for me, sometimes the strange error appears from the level of my browser:<br />
<br />
&quot;The site cannot be displayed because it uses invalid type of compression.&quot;<br />
<br />
It happens when I set up advanced url display. I wonder if it can happen due to php accelerators or other types of php cache.<br />
<br />
Also, try to login, when using urltrans for username: it also converts user/auth, and so user cannot log in.<br />
<br />
See also my comments in your article (and delete them after making use of them)<br />
<br />
Edit:<br />
<br />
I made a custom function for parsing only users urls:<br />
<br />
In fuctions.custom.php:<br />
<pre class="code">function users_url_structure(&amp;$args, &amp;$spec)
{
	if ($args&#091;'m'&#093; == 'details') 
	{

	$url =  'users/details/'.$args&#091;'u'&#093;;
	unset($args&#091;'u'&#093;); 
	unset($args&#091;'m'&#093;); 
	unset($args&#091;'id'&#093;); 
	}
	else 
	{ 
	$url = $spec&#091;'_area'&#093;.'.php'; 
	}

	return $url;
}</pre>
<br />
In urltrans.dat:<br />
<br />
<pre class="code">users	*	{users_url_structure()}</pre>
<br />
In .htaccess:<br />
<pre class="code">RewriteRule ^users/(&#091;^/&amp;?#&#093;+)/(&#091;^/&amp;?#&#093;+)(.*)$ users.php?m=$1&amp;u=$2$3 &#091;QSA,NC,NE,L&#093;</pre>
<br />
I have no idea if it's coded right (I'm not that experienced in coding), but it works :P<br />
<br />
My simple solution for plugins:<br />
<br />
In functions.custom.php:<br />
<br />
<pre class="code">function plug_url_structure(&amp;$args, &amp;$spec)
{
	$url =  'site/'.$args&#091;'e'&#093;.'.html';
	unset($args&#091;'e'&#093;);
	
	return $url;
}
</pre>
<br />
In urltrans:<br />
<pre class="code">plug	*	{plug_url_structure()}</pre>
<br />
In htaccess:<br />
<br />
<pre class="code">RewriteRule ^site/(&#091;^/&amp;?#&#093;+)\.html(.*)$ plug.php?e=$1$2 &#091;QSA,NC,NE,L&#093;</pre>
<br />
I use &quot;site&quot; prefix because all other areas &quot;name.php&quot; are rewritten with &quot;name.html&quot;.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I just wanted to note that when using this on a primary domain (account) with hostgator will require you to also have .htaccess files in all add-on domain folders otherwise it wouldn't allow me to see the sites (gave error).<br />
<br />
Here is one that got my other sites to work on hostgator (in the event someone needs it):<br />
<br />
<pre class="code">RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

&lt;/FilesMatch&gt;

# Protect files depending on extension
&lt;FilesMatch &quot;^(.*)\.(inc|inc\.php|tpl|tpl\.php|sql|txt|dat|csv|exe|dll)$&quot;&gt;

<br />
Noted. Since it's beta it doesnt have all things working for everyone yet. My sites are running a custom folder solution (all sites sharing one plugin,js and system dir) so what works for me might not work for you.<br />
<br />
That said, wildcard subdomaining is something that your host needs to turn on for you. If it's not on it wont work even if you throw a cow at it.]]></description>

<br />
I checked everything 5 times. Oh well.<br />
<br />
Bummed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Edit: I wanted add that i have shared hosting, i am with HostGator. In case it help anyone.<br />
<br />
The reason i tried to use this cool hack is because my website is installed in a folder /sed i tried to use my cpanel to make a 301 permanent redirect but my server does not like it and is going into endless loop even though i made the .htaccess file from the cpanel?<br />
<br />
So i tried this hack to see if it can help me, but now i had to go back to php redirect.]]></description>

Anyway, I already tried <pre class="code">plug	e=tags&amp;a=*&amp;t=*	tags/{$a)/{$t}.html</pre>

Another problem is that some admin area urls do not work (tested on localhost only).]]></description>

Try in <strong>urltrans.dat</strong><br />

or<br />
<div class="highlight"><pre class="php">plug	e=whosonline	whosonline.html</pre></div>

Yes, it is simply mistaken .... should be so<br />
<pre class="code">plug	e=tags&amp;a=*&amp;t=*	tags/{$a)/{$t}.html</pre>

Anyway Lombi good fellow. And thanks to him for this topic]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Looks like there's a problem here:<br />
<pre class="code">plug	e=tags&amp;a=&amp;t=*	{$e}/{$a)/{$t}.html</pre>
Otherwise works fine with 0.0.4.<br />
Btw, is there a possibility to rewrite urls for plugins:<br />
plug?e=whosonline<br />
to<br />
whosonline.html?]]></description>

<br />
Heh, I had this long reply to this post written but when I pressed reply it logged me out (and i lost the reply).<br />
<br />
Here we go again...<br />
<br />
<strong>So what exactly does this URL re-writing do? </strong><br />
<br />
It rewrites pages,forum topics and categories. It creates pages with URL structures that rank higher in SERPs. This was tested and confirmed very true (same content on different cotonti installations, one with and one without, with no differing external factors - one heavily outranks the other)<br />
<br />
<strong>I still don't get it. If this is/was so important for site stats and search / rankings why wasn't this in the Cotonti release in the first place?</strong><br />
<br />
It <span style="text-decoration:underline">is</span>. All the cotonti URLs are sent trough a sed_url function which creates the URL. At the moment it's replicating the old Seditio URLs, but after all of it is completed it will look like whatever you wish.<br />
<br />
<strong>I tought &quot;NO CORE HACKS WILL BE DONE FOR COTONTI&quot; was one of the supposed &quot;GREAT&quot; features?</strong><br />
<br />
It <span style="text-decoration:underline">is</span>. There are more hooks then ever before. But there are functions that cannot be &quot;pluginized&quot; since the entire core uses them.<br />
<br />
<strong>So then why do you release this on the forums? Seems like you're having public beta testing this way (Like nVidia and their &quot;great&quot; drivers)</strong><br />
<br />
This system has been running fine for over two years - now it's been updated for cotonti's url function.<br />
<br />
<strong>if you have 280 Domains of yourself (seriously doubt that)</strong><br />
<br />
Do a reverse report on the nameservers on both servers. If you have time, go trough all domains to check if they're powered by cotonti. They are. But if you want you can doublecheck.<br />
<br />
<strong>why even bother releasing beta's outside of your own beta testers/team</strong><br />
<br />
Having an actual working code to rewrite URLs using the new system was one of the more requested things around here. So it got released before it got implemented.<br />
<br />
If you're an early adopter, go ahead and use it. <strong>If not, don't.</strong> Noone will notice.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I don't see what is awesome about this.<br />
<br />
We changed all urls because to not to interfere with the code (in any matter) and do these just using to Admin Urls tool, or we did something really unnecessary.<br />
<br />
There are a lot of core hacking and seemingly url system isn't used in the process at all.<br />
<br />
So, I don't say this is bad, but as for our rewriting url system, it is not well done.]]></description>
