Sorry I missed this post... Sad

I've actually put the mod instructions mostly together, with some of the "extra" instructions still pending.. (for extending the changes to Feeds, Sitemap, Your Account, blocks, and probably an area or two I've forgotten...)

But I had some concerns having to redo it for 3.0 so I held off finishing it. I'll take a look this weekend and see what shape it's in. If it's somewhat legible, I could forward you a non-public copy.

No hurry. I know you are very busy with RN3. I was just curious if it was a simple mod or extensive. There was a user on Ravens site asking about it. Personally, I have no need for it. It looks cool, but I hate having to add a ton of mods when I upgrade my site.

It's an easy mod, although with a fair amount of small edits to about a half dozen forum files. Of course to truly integrate it, it also requires edits to Feeds, Sitemap, Your_Account, blocks, and anywhere with links to forums and topics.

You basically have to edit the links to forums and topics to include the title in the URL, and the title has to be run thru a simple function first, to remove unwanted/invalid characters.

From there it's just a few extra taps for the new URL's.

An example before and after might look like so, where
$forum_data[$j]['forum_name']
is the title of the forum

BEFORE

'U_VIEWFORUM' => append_sid("viewforum.$phpEx?" . POST_FORUM_URL . "=$forum_id"))


AFTER

'U_VIEWFORUM' => append_sid("viewforum.$phpEx?" . POST_FORUM_URL . "=$forum_id&title=".gt_url($forum_data[$j]['forum_name'])))
