How to build the SEO URL?

[Richey]

Hey guys,

I have to write a "latest posts" script for an external website that shows the latest posts of a xenforo forum.

There is only one problem: I have no idea how to build/generate the urls of the posts because they are not stored in the database (I think).

Can you please tell me how I can do this?

Kind regards.

Everything is stored in the database.

To construct a thread URL you need as a minimum the thread ID, which is in the xf_thread table.

For example, this thread is https://xenforo.com/community/threads/90152/

Good Morning Brogan,

thank you for the reply, but what I need is the seo url (user friendly url) of a thread.

In this case: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/how-to-build-the-seo-url.90152/

I can't find it in the database.

Any ideas?

Kind regards.

That is constructed from the thread title and (I believe) Link.php.

Thank you Brogan

the function/method I was looking for is placed in line 740 (/library/Xenforo/Link.php).

Kind regards.
