Using the discussion forum plugin - rewriting urls

Post by cmscritic »

Is there a way to beautify the URLs that the discussion forum plugin uses so that they are not http://www.cmscritic.com/index.php?sere ... cms-forums but rather something like http://www.cmscritic.com/forums ?

Hi!

The forums plugin is quite underdeveloped, sadly it does not support it, and wouldn't easily do so due to its gruesome code :(

Regards,

Mike - if you want a discussion forum, you could do what I did for Kinetic... just install phpBB in a folder of your site. While I have not done it, you could also play with the forum's css so that it matches the rest of your site.
