Mod Rewrite / Search Engine Friendly Urls

[modrewriteman]

I've seen some instructions for SEO for earlier versions, but none that work for 1.4.x.   Does anyone have instructions to paste here please?

[Nibbler]

Install the plugin.

[modrewriteman]

Can you please point me to the plugin?

[modrewriteman]

I've searched the forum for things like "sef plugin", but I have yet to find where to download such a plugin. 

[Tranz]

It should already be included. Check your plugins manager page.

[modrewriteman]

Thank you!

[modrewriteman]

Sorry, I should have checked there first.

I've noticed that the slideshow link is not sef.  Is this link problematic for some reason?  Currently the link looks like this:

displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pid=7&slideshow=5000

[Nibbler]

I'll add that in.

[modrewriteman]

Great, looking forward to it.  If you don't mind, please post back here if/when you complete it.

[Nibbler]

Either wait for 1.4.4 or download and manually update the plugin's code from cvs (when it updates).

will be a way to do this on a Zeus shared server? I have no access to the server config and the Zeus serverc ant do anything with rewrite rules in .htaccess
Is there any other way to convert the urls for better access to googlebot and other spiders without using .htaccess ?

mod-rewrite is an exclusive apache-only feature. We don't know the mechanisms available on Zeus. I guess there are none that can be used with coppermine.
