Alright, this is really useless but it looks really cool.
First I'll explain what a query string is.
Well a query string is "additional page information" for instance index.php?page=forums&sid=1
Well the query string here is page=forums&sid=1
What this hack allows you to do is to replace this " = " and " &"
Instead of having (using the same example) index.php?page=forums&sid=1, you could have index.php?page:forums,sid:1
Yes, this IS useless, however it looks really cool and professional.
This is pretty long to install. You've got to open all your vB files and change every link, replacing ' = ' with $qs['eq'] and ' & ' with $qs['and']
For instance, replace:
"online.php?$session[sessionurl]sort=$sortfield&order=$sortorder&pp=$perpage"
with
"online.php?$session[sessionurl]sort".$qs['eq']."$sortfield".$qs['and']."order".$qs['eq']."$sortorder".$qs['and']."pp".$qs['eq']."$perpage"
Anyways, you understand. This is quite long. I think I'm going to eventually write a small application in C++ to do it for you. Anyways, if you have the time to do it, hope you'll enjoy your custom URL's :-D
Note that you can also use this on ANY php page, not only vB.
Then add this at the top of your global.php file, right after the <?php
$qs['eq'] = "="; // Change me
$qs['and'] = "&"; // Change me
$queryAND = explode($qs['and'],$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]);
for($i=0;$i<sizeof($queryAND);$i++)
{
$queryEQ = explode($qs['eq'],$queryAND[$i]);
$_GET[ $queryEQ[0] ] = $queryEQ[1];
}
EDIT: Fixed a mistake ^_^
