What's the URL structure options?

[zastavra]

Hello,

What URL structure can I use with XenForo?

I'd like to have by default:

domain.com/forum/f12345/ for forums
domain.com/forum/t12345/ for threads

Is there an option for that?

That might be possible in 1.2 with Route Filters. Not had a chance to check that out yet.

@Mike?

You can't have the same route /forum for forums and threads.

 

[Chris D]

I was thinking that might be the directory rather than the route.

 

[zastavra]

It is the directory, yes. The route is "/t12345/ and /f12345/.

@Mike?

Not exactly because your replacement would have to be "t{id}" which isn't allowed. You could go with t/{id} and f/{id} provided content titles were turned off in the options. (t/12345/ and f/12345)

Well, I have a vBulletin forum with vBSEO installed using the URL structure that I've nentioned above and I'd like to get rid both (vB - vBSEO) BUT without to change the URL structure. I've done this a couple of times in the past and I'd like to avoid to many 301 redirects for the same URL if possible.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

You would need to modify the XF code to do what you want - it's not possible out of the box.

I think during the import all IDs are re-assigned anyway, right? Therefore, you will not be able to avoid the 301-redirects. The best were if you would stay with the new xf-url-structure.

 

[Chris D]

During an import you can keep the IDs if you wish.

So, if I'm going to need help for this I guess you guys will help me, right?

 

[Paul B]

You would need to have a custom add-on made.

Who can create one for me?

 

[Paul B]

You would have to pay a developer to do so.

 

[zastavra]

Yes, but where can I find one? Can you suggest?

If you purchase a license, you can post here: http://xenforo.com/community/forums/custom-service-development-requests.69/

I'd like to inform that what I asked it can be done with Route Filters: forums/{name:digit}/ chanched to forum/f{name:digit}/ and threads/{name:digit}/ changed to forum/t{name:digit}/. My forum is up and running Xenforo.

The only think I couldnt do is redirect the old forum home page (domain.com/forum/) to the new (domain.com/).
