I feel so many URL structures change since pligg 1.0 rc1. I'm not sure it's better or worser.

1. pligg change site.com/published/page/4/ to site.com/index/page/4/

- I don't know how about old pligg sites that already indexed in search engine because if they upgrade to 1.0 all the pagination on homepage will change from "published" to "index"

2. pligg add word "category" in story url

- this is normal and standard if pligg include "category" in category url (same wordpress) but this is abnormal if pligg will add "category" to story url (wordpress also doesn't add "category" in permalink by default - only add category name+story name)
- How about olg pligg sites that already indexed because before all story links don't have word "category" in url, so when they upgrade to new pligg, the word "category" come. This mean all links structure will change

I believe that we've fixed the category UTF issues in the latest SVN builds. We've spent a lot of time checking to make sure that categories and stories properly keep foreign (non-latin) characters in the URLs.

I was actually thinking about removing /published/ altogether. It doesn't make sense to put it in a URL. I'll see if we can come up with a solution for both the old method and new one to work at the same time or to do a 403 redirect.

We're trying to figure out the best possible link structure for SEO links right now. At the same time we aren't trying to make many changes to the old code because we don't want to mess with old category structures used on 9.x beta sites. /category/ needs to remain in the category links such as site.com/category/CATEGORY-NAME/page/2/ because if a category name uses a word that Pligg uses elsewhere it would break the site. For example a category named "upcoming" would break the upcoming section.

As for some of your other reported bugs, I will look into it further. I just started testing SEO links yesterday and I don't think I noticed one or two of the things you pointed out.

Hi Yankidank, Thanks for explaining.
================================================== ===========

I known the cause of problem I'd found about pagination form RC1 to RC4

This is becuase this line in .htaccess file

## If installed in a subfolder you may need to add ## to the beginning of the next line
#RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*index\.php\ HTTP/

Why pligg RC4 and later (+latest svn) has "#" in front of

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*index\.php\ HTTP/

by default?

Actually I never see "#" in this line for pligg RC3 and lower version

When you're using RC4 or latest svn and use URL method 2 and use default .htaccess file (that come with rc4), you will see pagination mess up (check you pligg site) that because there's "#" before

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*index\.php\ HTTP/

I just go to remove "#" and now my pagination on pligg rc4 site woking same before

Finally, thanks you that cares about the seo.
