XF 1.5 Prefix as friendly URL

[FloV]

Hey everybody,

just a quick question: Is it possible to to change the url from

https://xenforo.com/community/forums/bugs/?prefix_id=3

to

https://xenforo.com/community/forums/bugs/prefix/confirmed

I know it's not possible by default but maybe it can be down with some route filters?

Thanks a lot in advance

It would require an add-on (at best). Query string params cannot be changed by route filters.

This might still be useful in the core - along with adding the prefix to the title or some other custom title scheme for SEO purposes.

Our use case is that we have one forum per country and then have one thread prefix per zoo - so rather than https://www.zoochat.com/community/forums/united-kingdom.38/?prefix_id=1096

I'd prefer https://www.zoochat.com/community/forums/united-kingdom.38/prefix/chester-zoo

(I'd actually prefer to rename it from prefix to something else, but it's a start).

I already customised the thread title on ZooChat so that it shows the prefix name, but it would be nice to have that flexibility in the core too.

Perhaps in version 2.1 if we get enough support for this

Shhh ... they've still got time to bake it into 2.0

This would be nice to clean up the URL.
