Bergamot

What would you like the URL to look like when you're done?

Anything a bit nicer, perhaps http://www.eurolow.com/attachment/58/9.jpg if it comes out this will will it be able to be used in img tags on other forums too?

lowbenzo

anyone?

Edit extensions/Attachments/default.php to make it create links the form you want, like attachment/Image/58/9.jpg.
Then add to the rewrite rules something like that:
RewriteRule ^attachment/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)/([^/]+)$ extensions/Attachments/image.php?CommentID=$2&File=$3&Type=$1 [QSA,L]

Which fonction create friendly urls in vanilla? How to Extend it?

Minisweeper

The friendly urls extension :d

Dinoboff

No, the friendly urls "extension" (it is just a .htaccess file, and a line in conf/setting.php) make apache transform each friendly url into a the basic url (to the php file with the appropriete query string). But what make vanilla display "categories/" instead of "categories.php" for example when $Configuration['URL_BUILDING_METHOD'] = 'mod_rewrite' ?

Can we (easily) extend this fonction to use it in an extension?

The GetURL function on line 449 of in /library/framework/Framework.Functions.php

Nope, I don't think we can.

Minisweeper

You can in theory. You'd need to add the definitions and the right friendlyurls rules though. I think?

mary

If the format was the same/similar, yes - just add a new
$Configuration['REWRITE_...).

But, I think the translation desired here won't work with it - it's too different?
