I want to rewrite URL of categories via nginx, this way: meta.discourse.org/c/support → meta.discourse.org/support Will it make next problems during future updates or something else? Is there any better replacement method?

Yes, this will cause problems, erm, everywhere. I suggest not doing it.

[imagen] riking: Yes, this will cause problems, erm, everywhere. I suggest not doing it I thought it will make problems related to CEO! Can you illustrate, @riking ? I don’t have any idea what kind of problems will be happened.

You mean SEO? Compared to other forum software, Discourse does a good job with following proper SEO url practices out-the-box. It looks like you’re trying to make the url shorter but in the end, google’s algorithms look for the following: Original Content. Trust & Identity. Authority of the site…

Aye, was replying to @reaon with the possible “CEO” typo and clear up that specific tidbit if they are a victim to said snake oil indoctrination propaganda practices.

[imagen] riking: I was talking about problems in the sense of “not working” What kind of problems? plz

[imagen] reaon: What kind of problems? For one, Routing. Changing the URL format of HTTP requests is likely to result in a lot of “Not Found” errors. Don’t think of them so much as “addresses” identifying locations, but more like instructions on “how to get something”

[imagen] Mittineague: likely to result in a lot of “Not Found” errors Rewriting in the manner of redirecting! You request for example.com/A and it is translated as example.com/category/A for the CMS by the web server, here Nginx. Why should we get a 404 error?!

Routing exists in 2 spots, on the server and on the client https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/routes/app-route-map.js.es6 .. A rewrite on the server without doing the needed work on the client will result in stuff breaking This is beyond your skill …

Yeah, I was talking about problems in the sense of “not working”, not SEO snake oil bullshit.
