[Forum] How to change thread URL structure to example.com/1234-Thread-name?

[Devtard]

Is there a way to do this via .htaccess?

E.g. by removing "threads" from the following rule:

RewriteRule ^threads/.* showthread.php [QSA]

I really don't know anything about it and don't want to mess things up.

No, removing it from the .htaccess won't work. You would need to actually modify the code to get it that way.

[Devtard]

Do you have any idea how to achieve that?

(BTW, I assume that by changing "threads" to "discussions", the URL will be changed to example.com/discussions/1234-Thread-name, am I correct?)

[Lynne]

No, it won't. "threads" is hard-coded in the vbulletin code which is why I said you would need to modify the code itself. And as Mark said below, if you need help with that, the place to ask is over on vbulletin.org, the modification site.

[Devtard]

Okay, thanks for explaining.

Hi

Sorry but we're not able to provide support for code modifications on this site.

You could try asking at www.vbulletin.org, which is the modifications site.
