Removing the /forum/ text from our URL's

 

Edit furlTemplates.php in admin/applications/forums/extensions/

 

Find this code

 

(about line 53)

 

'showforum'     => array( 'app'               => 'forums',
                                                        'allowRedirect' => 1,
                                                        'out'           => array( '#showforum=(.+?)(&|$)#i', 'forum/$1-#{__title__}/$2' ),
                                                        'in'            => array( 'regex'   => "#/forum/(\d+?)-#i",
                                                                                                          'matches' => array( array( 'showforum', '$1' ) ) ) ),

And replace with this code.

 

 'showforum'     => array( 'app'               => 'forums',
                                                        'allowRedirect' => 1,
                                                        'out'           => array( '#showforum=(.+?)(&|$)#i', '$1-#{__title__}/$2' ),
                                                        'in'            => array( 'regex'   => "#/forum/(\d+?)-#i",
                                                                                                          'matches' => array( array( 'showforum', '$1' ) ) ) ),

After that then log into your Admin cPanel and select Manage Applications & Modules -> Rebuild FURL Cache

 

still working on removing the /topic/ from the URL

 

ps.. I'm not sure I'll keep this setup like this.. I ran into a problem calling my CSS from on ip.content when I removed the /forum/ url

Thanks for the tip

The topic isn't that bad but the forum needs to go. One of the first things I will implement if I choose to make the switch. Thanks Brandon.
