XF 1.2 Friendly URL help...

[JMEWLS]

I've got my forum in a directory "/forums" and I turned on friendly URL's. But now it goes... /forums/forums/[post/thread] how do I turn off the other 'forums' extension.

Hopefully I explained myself correctly.

Post your .htaccess file.

 

[JMEWLS]

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
 suPHP_ConfigPath /home/***
 <Files php.ini>
  order allow,deny
  deny from all
 </Files>
</IfModule>

<Files 403.shtml>
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Files>

Your .htaccess is much different than mine, although I also use friendly URL's.

Sorry I don't know .htaccess well enough to make a suggestion, hopefully someone else will.

You can't turn off the second forums extension. This is an internal route and required for proper functioning. 1.2 has a route changer where you can modify it, but there has to be something there.

This is correct for viewing threads in a forum:

http://xenforo.com/forums/forums/announcements/

But for viewing a thread it should show something like:

http://xenforo.com/forums/threads/xenforo-1-2-0-release-candidate-2-released-unsupported.55456/

Until they explain it further, I can only assume it isn't a double /forums/ everywhere (indicated by the brackets).

http://nbadimensions.net/forums/forums/nba-forum.2/

That's normal.

there's no way of removing that extra 'forums' extension?

Nope.

See:

1.2 you can reroute it (ie turn the second forums into "boards" or something), but it cannot be removed.

How do I change it? Wouldn't mind making it a little more content relevant maybe make it "nba" or "nba_forum
"

 

[Jeremy]

The route will be the same for all forums, you can set a specific URL (ie just announcements without a number) in the node settings. As for route filters:

Per this example:

Turn
http://nbadimensions.net/forums/forums/nba-forum.2/

into
http://nbadimensions.net/forums/list/nba-forum.2/

Home -> Route Filters -> Create new Route filter
Find Route: forums
Replace With: list

The alternative of course is to change the /forums directory where the site is installed, or install it in the root.
