The tutarial of how to Remove the word category from Pligg’s category URLs is correct for pligg 9.9. But when I do the same in Pligg 1.0 RC4, I could still see categories in the published news urls? For example: www.pligg.com/category/internet/goodmovies, I can visit www.pligg.com/internet/goodmovies. I know the .htaccess file is right. Could you tell me how to modify html1php, smartyvariables.php, upcoming.php in Pligg 1.0 RC4?

Delete "category" word from Category URL

open ./libs/html1.php

find

If ($x == "maincategory") {return my_pligg_base."/category/" . $var1;}

change to

If ($x == "maincategory") {return my_pligg_base."/" . $var1;}

open .htaccess
find

RewriteRule ^category/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?category=$1 [L]

and delete it

Delete "category" word from Story URL

open ./libs/html1.php

find

		If ($x == "storycattitle") {return my_pligg_base."/category/" . $var1 . "/" . $var2 ."/";}}

change to

		If ($x == "storycattitle") {return my_pligg_base."/" . $var1 . "/" . $var2 ."/";}

open .htaccess
find

RewriteRule ^category/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ story.php?title=$2 [L]

and delete it

Tried your fix and although it did remove the word category, when clicking on a link i get the following error
"The page you were looking for doesn't exist!

It may have been removed or you may have arrived here by using a bad URL"

I am using RC4, any ideas?
Is there another file that needs to be changed.
I cleared the cache and cleared my cookies, tried everything

@pliggrich

If you want to remove "category" you MUST do both
and delete BOTH

RewriteRule ^category/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?category=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^category/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ story.php?title=$2 [L]

If you delete only one some link on homepage will give 404

[pliggrich]

I deleted both, I followed the instructions above to the letter

I did this a while ago for dcvacationsource.com, I think the only 2 files you need to modify are /libs/html1.php and .htaccess. I remember it being a pain, so it might be more than those files but it is possible.

Sorry that I can't help you more but I'm using this technique on all my pligg site and it's working perfectly. You can see example pligg sites on my signature. My sites no have word "category" both in category url and story url. All I did is just edit html1.php and .htaccess as I said above

Hi, I also have Pligg v.1 RC4 that I just downloaded tonight. I also followed the instructions to a tee and I'm also getting "The page you were looking for doesn't exist"

I went back and retried and still the same page errors. So, I'm assuming it has to be another file or files to change for this to happen.

I just read Yankidank's notice

And see my pligg sites, Remove word "Category" worked in both category url and story url EXCEPT it currently breaks the sort feature.
