Custom (pretty) permalinks for bbPress

[alexvorn2]

To add option to edit bbPress permalinks.

(To make possible to have descriptive URLs).

Add such structure variables as:
%forumname%,
%forumparentname%,
%forumparentsnames%,
%topicname%,
%replyname%

For topics:

1) pretty url: ​http://example.com/forum/subforum/custom_topic_title

structure will be: ​http://example.com/%forumparentsnames%/%topicname%

.

2) for ​http://example.com/forum1/custom_topic_title

structure will be: ​http://example.com/%forumparentname%/%topicname%
OR [example.com/%forumname%/%topicname%]

.

3) ​http://example.com/custom_topic_title

structure will be: ​http://example.com/%topicname%

.

4) ​http://example.com/forum1/2013/custom_topic_title

structure will be: ​http://example.com/%forumname%/%year%/%topicname% ..

etc

Do you have any proof-of-concept patches for this Alex? I'd be interested in testing/expanding on them (as time permits).

[alexvorn2]

This is only the idea...
I imagine this is possible.

I think we should separate the bbPress permlinks structure from the WordPress , I had experience about that when I change the bbPress permlinks structure to numeric in one of my clients website .

So I think I can help with here :)

Moving to Future Release, until WordPress's Permalinks page uses the Settings API. I'd rather not add too many settings to our 1 forums page until that's addressed.

Good point :)

JJJ, would you entertain fleshing out the functionality in bbPress, but have the settings in a (temporary) plugin until said WP core changes land?
