Ok, say I wanted to enable friendly URL right now, would these settings work?

Use Friendly URLS: Yes

Friendly URL: http://tech-talk.net/forum/blog/ (In the example it showed http://yourboardurl/blog/ without a www. infront of it, could I put the www there, would it be a problem?)

Path to friendly URL: /home2/logan/public_html/forum/blog/ ? (should be an example in this setting)

Path to board index.php: /home2/logan/public_html/forum/index.php


Thanks.

Here is how mine is and it seems its working fine to use as an example ..

Use Friendly URL's
YES

Friendly URL
http://www.savagekillers.com/forum/blog/

Path to friendly URL
/home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html/forum/blog

Path to board index.php
/home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html/forum

Path to friendly URL: /home2/logan/public_html/forum/blog
Path to board index.php: /home2/logan/public_html/forum

Rest should be fine.

Alright, the friendly URL system in general works fine. However I really do think there is a problem with the Image URL. The member bar isn't the same. On the forum index it looks fine, on the blogs index it looks fine. On regular blogs not using friendly url it looks fine. However, on blogs using friendly URL it is distorted a bit, not 3D/popped out like it is on my skin. Here are some screenshots to explain what I mean:

Also my Image URL is set to: http://www.tech-talk.net/forum/ (Wizzy verified this in the ticket)

Regular- Forum index, blogs index, blogs not using friendly URL:(Notice the member bar gradients, how it's popped out, 3D etc..not sure what it's called)

Not showing properly in a blog using friendly URL:

I have no idea on this .. I've never seen this before but I don't use gradients on my board .. All my images are flat ..

Weird, it's possibly a bug then distorting the images.

Does it do it if you use the default skin?

Yes it does. It has even more problems. Instead of missing gradient, it's just white on the grad parts. I do believe there is an error in the Image URL...

But that image url looks right that you have ..For my board I use:
http://www.savagekillers.com/forum/

Have you tried in the Skin Tools to Rebuild Master Templates and Rebuild Skin set Cache

And possibly the same thing in Blog / Tools / Rebuild Blog Master Template

Yay that fixed it haha. I never thought it would matter if I did it or not.

Thanks.

No problem .. Glad you got it worked out .. It was probably driving you nuts ..

Hmm. I've set all these settings correctly (according to hints posted in this topic). Then I've rebuilded master templates on forum and blog + cache. When I try to access my blog with friendly url it shows up with graphics but totally without CSS. Any ideas?

The code of CSS import looks like this on friendly url
So I think the URL here should be absolute and that's probably the problem. How can i fix this?

Edit:
Yay! Modyfing the css_external helped. Now I only have slight problem with custom JS but I will fix this myself. Sorry for trouble.

where do you set your image url?

IPB's general configuration.

hhmm... weird i do not see that option lol

If you don't have it, open a ticket on IPB Support.

It's in general configuration, Image URL:

Took me awhile to find it too Aaron
