General Support: SEO friendly urls?

Hello Cornelius -

That is already part of Plogger3. Log into your admin panel, go to Options, and click the box next to Generate cruft-free URLs - that "turns on" the SEO-friendly URLs.

Which version of Plogger are you running Cornelius? The standard 1.0b3 or a newer version from the SVN?

i also see the htaccess file to have its content...

# BEGIN Plogger

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [S=2]
RewriteRule feed/$ plog-rss.php?path=%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php?path=%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
</IfModule>
# END Plogger



plz let me know what else i need to do?

yes i run another site in the same server and i use SEO friendly urls in that site!!!!

whimper, tamilrain, and CorneliusW,

Can you provide a link to your installations? Are you on a shared hosting or are you hosting it yourself and have access to the http.conf file?

Another possible issue may be if Plogger is or thinks it is embedded in another page that is not on the same folder level (i.e. you have it inserted in http://www.domain.com/gallery.php and your Plogger installation is at http://www.domain.com/plogger/ then it will not be able to work without a workaround). tamilrain's .htaccess file looks correct for the mod_rewrite URLs

mod_rewrite is installed and I am on shared hosting. SEF urls works on server for my other domain names.

Here is link to imagery http://pwrestlingnews.com/imagery/. When I click on Generate Cruft-Free URLs and then update options, the page refreshes and says "You have updated your settings successfully." but the Generate Cruft-Free URLs is now unselected.

edit the plog-load_config.php .
change it like below


$config["embedded"] = 0;

// try to figure out whether we are embedded (for example running from Wordpress)
// on windows/apache $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'] uses "/" for directory separators,
// __FILE__ has them the other way, realpath takes care of that.
if (dirname(__FILE__) != dirname(realpath($_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"])) && strpos($_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"],"admin") === false) {
$config["embedded"] = 1;
// disable our own cruft-free urls, because the URL has already been processed
// by WordPress
$config["use_mod_rewrite"] = 0;
} else {
// if mod_rewrite is on, make sure to remove the file basename
if ($config["use_mod_rewrite"] == 1) {
$config["baseurl"] = "http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]. substr($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],0,strrpos($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],"/")) . "/";
}
}

into
$config["embedded"] = 0;

if ($config["use_mod_rewrite"] == 1)
$config["baseurl"] = "http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]. substr($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],0,strrpos($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],"/")) . "/";

i don't know if it can help but i am using DreamHost and it works just fine. :)
