Hi,

i have a little question: I found these linies in my utils.php

$output = str_replace("\"", "", $output);
$output = str_replace("--", "", $output);
$output = str_replace("'", "", $output);
$output = str_replace('"', '', $output);
$output = str_replace('&', '_', $output);
$output = str_replace('/', '_', $output);
$output = str_replace('!', '', $output);
$output = str_replace('?', '', $output);
$output = str_replace('$', '', $output);


Must I only relpace "$output = str_replace("\"", "", $output);" or the whole block with:
$output = str_replace(" - ", "-", $output);
$output = str_replace("_", "-", $output);
$output = str_replace("---", "-", $output);
$output = str_replace("\"", "", $output);
$output = str_replace("--", "-", $output);

thx for the help

Hi mog,

What version of pligg are you using?

In v9.9.0 the whole code part you are looking for in /libs/utils.php looks like below.



You want to replace the line....


With the code i supplied on page 1

Hope that helps m8

I miss read this the last time I was here!

So I can use this mod and the old url will still be good but they won't be changed to the new url method?

yep thats what is likley to happen, all new urls submitted after the changes will have _ instead of _ also if you edit an old url the seperator will be changed to a -, thats somthing to keep in mind.

Yes i got it.. thanks.. Can u tell me how to add .html at the end of the url

Hi naveen,

Adding .html to the end of url's is not advised simply because of the amount of edits you would need to make to pligg's codebase and rewrite rules, this could be a lot of extra code and also produce some unwanted errors

Adding .html to the end of the URL's produce no advantage, and would make the pligg upgrade process difficult and lengthy affair. The disadvantages outweigh the advantages in my opinion so i would suggest against this particular change
