SEF as an afterthought isn't super simple but it's doable, and unless the architecture is similar it will require heavy modification indeed.. I kind of like how Joomla CMS has done it with their router framework.. but stripping that out and porting it over would be difficult too, and there'd be no help I'm sure. It's part of the core of the software.

Quote from: oneduality – January 05, 2018, 08:22:01 pmI just think this software is one of the cleanest I've looked at, I like the interface on the back-end and it's feature rich.. so I think the one thing missing is this.Yep, agree, and that's why I proposed it as project to work on. TBH I (as a user) am not very fond on the "friendly" urls, mostly because I'm kind of old school and from time to time I cannot do copy&paste, but I have to type things (on different devices), so for me it's much easier to type 123 rather than a long title, but of course that's just me. 1 Of course if you are interested in picking it up that's all good ↵

Yes I know it's been discussed Reply #22 – January 06, 2018, 09:46:30 am Quote from: oneduality – January 05, 2018, 08:40:45 pmOhh, I didn't realize you were mentioning your forum software on ElkArte's forums .. usually that's frowned upon so I assumed it was a customization to ElkArteWhen relevant (like here) I don't see why it should be frowned upon. The advertisement in the signature is more questionable I suppose.Quote from: Allan – January 05, 2018, 07:20:34 pmEven though it's not a need for proper SEO it still brings a very clean look to a forum, that many people want. I don't give a darn about it looking "clean",[1] but I definitely prefer elkarte.net/community/sef-blablabla over community/index.php?topic=4848 because then I know what it is I'm clicking on.I despise the rise of URL shorteners.

It's only on, say, Google that query strings become absurd, unclean creatures. But that doesn't really have anything to do with query strings per se.↵

Re: SEF URLs .. Yes I know it's been discussed Reply #28 – January 09, 2018, 08:08:00 pm That part is quite easy in Nginx. But others, I am not so sure. However, thank you very much for the information.
