Re: Rewrite
userlist search:
I think that's because there isn't a good way to do it otherwise, since data for the URL is coming from the form. How would you do it?
admin/extensions:
Yup, but we're debating the merits of having SEF URLs in the admin panel at all.
others:
what do you mean? What are they supposed to be rewriting?

See Search. You have it working with data coming from the form.

In the Announcements, I have a link to a topic. It is not rewriting the URL.
For Additional Menu items, I have links pointing to php pages I have created. I assume these links will be rewrite.

You mean search.php? It works the same way. It might be rewritten for people using postgresql and sqlite because the initial request is redirected is one with a search ID.

I can't think of an efficient way to have PunBB auto-magically detect and rewrite that stuff. There are too many possibilities.

Yes, search.php. It is working differently for us. All the URLs are rewritten, even the paging links of the search results.

OK. Then these URLs will have to be manually rewrite.
Re: Rewrite
The paging links are one thing: those should be rewritten properly. The problem is the form.
search.html?action=search&keywords=foobar&author=&forum=-1&sort_by=4&sort_dir=DESC&show_as=topics&search=Submit+searchIs that what you mean when you say rewrite though? Since that's what I'm seeing on the developers forum and I know userlist.php stays with userlist.php.

Yes. I was expecting userlist.php to behave like the Search.

This following subject lines do not work with File Based (fancy). Getting an Error 403.
Are you running a 'Hobby Business'? Tax: the facts of life!
This is a "test"

I am unable to replicate this. However, the cleaning function for those kinds of URLs is overdue for an update anyway, so lets hope that solves it.

Re: Rewrite
For "File based (fancy)", the URLs for subscribe/unsubscribe after redirecting has $2 in the URL. For example, topic21908-Testing.html is topic21908$2.html.

Re: Rewrite
For the quick forum jump drop-down menu, it is not SEF. Is it because it is a form?

Nope. It was broken.

Yeah, it's a method="GET" form and I haven't quite figured out how to "SEF it".

Your have it working with the search as shown I think:

Re: Rewrite
Not the same thing: search.html is a rewrite rule in and of itself. There is no equivalent for viewforum.php, all the rewrite rules need the forum ID.
Re: Rewrite
Same thing is happening ($2) for the following:
Member: Delete topic/Delete
Admin/mod: Move Topic, Delete Topic, Open/Close Topic, Stick/Unstick Topic, Delete posts

For the forum name rewrite, please don't drop words that are 3 characters. For example, "New Members" is being rewritten as "forum1-Members.html".

I agree 
Re: Rewrite
What about two character words then? Drop them or keep them?

Re: Rewrite
Is there a downside going down to 2?
In fact what is the downside of going down to 1? 
Re: Rewrite
I didn't write the code in question, so I'm just asking
