PunBB Forums → PunBB 1.3 troubleshooting → qjump doesn't use clean URLs
Hi guys, I've been messing around with 1.3 and have folder-based URLs enabled. When I choose an option from the quickjump at the bottom, it redirects to e.g. viewforum.php?id=3 instead of forum/3/. Are there any plans to fix this? I would like it to be correct for consistency if nothing else.
It's a form, so I don't know that it's physically possible to do. If you come up with a way though, we would love to here it. 
If that's the case, it's not a big deal. The only solution I can think of is making the qjump redirect to a specific redir page that then redirects to the forum based on the URL options -- but that may or may not be a good idea. What do you think?
I guess that's possible, but I don't think that would be a part of the core. Someone could write an extension for it though.
You could have a hidden form element specifying which scheme to use, and use JS to build the correct URL for it.
Smells like an extension to me!
Thanks a lot for your quick replies.
Isn't the quickjump cached? Why not just recreate the qjump cache also when changing the url scheme?
Because the issue isn't changing the scheme, the issue is forms.
What exactly is the problem with forms???

Forms generate URLs like
http://example.org/form.php?first_name= … t_name=bar
Not
http://example.com/form/foo/bar
That's just how they work.
Ah ok, thank you. I was thinking a little bit wrong here...

I think this is indeed a good solution (and probably the only one).

Hmm.. Too bad to leave only ONE part of the "core" (as i can see) not rewritten.
More, even if i'm not fluent with the extension system yet, it seems to me that such a thing would be rather difficult to be made as an extension : it needs to modify the qjump form, create a new "switching" page, adding this page in the url rewritting tab (for consistency)..
Nah, that isn't too hard.
Actually, there might be another solution: one similar to what Bekko suggested.
