URL schemes

PunBB 1.3 natively supports URL rewriting, including SEF URLs.

How to enable URL rewriting

  1. Rename file .htaccess.dist in the root of your forum to .htaccess.
  2. Go to Administration ⇒ Settings (/admin/settings.php?section=setup), find URL Scheme section there.
  3. Choose the URL scheme you like and save changes.

How the URL rewriting works

For Apache web-server only

  1. On the URL request, web-server redirects it to the rewrite.php file (as defined in .htaccess).
  2. Requested URL is being parsed and converted to the standard one according to the rewriting scheme.
  3. The actually requested page is being loaded with proper parameters.
