The loader hack is just as ugly as long url so no benefit in my eyes, plus as liquidat0r said... more load on server.

mod_rewrite - ON tongue

It will be using the same games, but not the same code.
You need to register to see them games. Check out http://www.marine-hunters.co.uk/arcade.php for a version that lets you see it as a guest. Thats my site and what my new extension will replace that arcade on my site (on 1.3 of course). wink

its same .. that would be great extension

But I gather that people see that as ugly/inconvenient/less organised/etc. So I think a direct link would be best. Saves putting load on the server from using loader.php, I guess.

You would use that rather than a direct link to the extension file. The question is whether people prefer one way over the other.

Someone playing a game is not thinking about the url.

So my next question.
Say for example what you said happens, would I need to do anything differently from my point of view? when creating my extension.

I would just encourage people to use SEF when and where they can. tongue But that is the lame way out.

My point of view is kind of against the extension policy and would move arcade.php and scoring.php to the root. Not ideal but I think from the end user the latter looks better. Eventhough...... this is only the url we are on about here. lol

I think I will leave this for further comment from others.

What would you think about having the link be
example.com/loader.php?ext=mh_arcade&page=arcade.php

My struture is like so...

extensions/mh_arcade/arcade.php
extensions/mh_arcade/arcade_scoring.php

Basically I have set up rewrite rules so that
example.com/arcade.php, example.com/arcade.html ,example.com/arcade/3dshoot/, example.com/arcade_scoring.php, example.com/arcade_scoring.html and example.com/arcade/3dshoot/scoring/ etc....
will all work. i.e. all the other SEF rules.

The thing im unhappy about is when SEF is not being used.. the urls are like
example.com/extensions/mh_arcade/arcade.php?id=1
example.com/extensions/mh_arcade/arcade … g.php?id=1
which is just ugly. sad

Any ideas?
