I see, btw is there a demo of this hack somewhere ? Or is this forum already the working example without any extra hacks

Also, i noticed announcements are still using the normal URL ?

The quickstyle chooser is run via javascript using the following code:

[php]
function switch_styleid(selectobj)
{
var styleid = selectobj.options[selectobj.selectedIndex].value;

if (styleid == "")
{
return;
}

var url = new String(window.location);
var fragment = new String("");

// get rid of fragment
url = url.split("#");

// deal with the fragment first
if (url[1])
{
fragment = "#" + url[1];
}

// deal with the main url
url = url[0];

// remove styleid=x& from main bit
if (url.indexOf("styleid=") != -1 && is_regexp)
{
re = new RegExp("styleid=\\d+&?");
url = url.replace(re, "");
}

// add the ? to the url if needed
if (url.indexOf("?") == -1)
{
url += "?";
}
else
{
// make sure that we have a valid character to join our styleid bit
lastchar = url.substr(url.length - 1);
if (lastchar != "&" && lastchar != "?")
{
url += "&";
}
}
window.location = url + "styleid=" + styleid + fragment;
}
[/php]

I have no idea how to make it work properly so for now I must stick with [R] flags.

Thanks for sharing this, I just got it setup on my forums. I'm using V3.0.3 and found a couple of the instructions didnt work for me.

Heres what I changed.

In step two it asks to replace all with the following:

<a href="$forum['url'].html"> 
But I got an error so had to change to:

<a href="$forum[url].html"> 

In Step four Part one I had to use:
<a href="lastpostinthread$thread[threadid].html"> 
Instead of the instructed:
<a href="lastpostinthread[threadid].html"> 

All works fine now.

I also used the rewrite rule Teds posted:
RewriteRule ^/f([0-9]+)-(.*).html$ /forumdisplay.php?forumid=$1 [L]
But as my .htaccess file is in my forum directory I had to remove the /'s to make it work:
RewriteRule ^f([0-9]+)-(.*).html$ forumdisplay.php?forumid=$1 [L] 

Thanks again :mrgreen:

The change you made in Step 4 Part 1 would make it stop working?

It may be the way I posted it:

<a href="lastpostinthread[threadid].html"> 

That is the code as instructed in the first post.

I had to chage it to this:
<a href="lastpostinthread$thread[threadid].html"> 


Also, theres no reply with quote buttons in any of the posts apart from the first post of this thread.

Yes, that makes much more sense! As to your question, that's because there are limited features available to the DaniWeb tutorial threads. The idea is that all replies be comments / responses to the original article.

I've been testing this on a new install, but for some reason I have the simple issue of "forumdisplay" is showing as the normal dynamic link, rather than the HTML form. It's probably a small mistake, but if there are any pointers to which part of the instructions I possibly messed up on, that would be most appreciated.

Look at all of the templates in the FORUMHOME template group and replace all occurrences of <a href="forumdisplay.php?..."> with <a href="$forum['url'].html">
