-====== PrettyURLs ======
+===== PrettyURLs =====
+==== Description ====
+PrettyURL plugin turns standard URLs into SEO friendly URLs.
-(general description)
-===== .htaccess =====
-(etc etc)
+==== Handling ====
+<WRAP right round tip 350px>
+**Hint:**\\ Only web servers that are NCSA compatible, such as Apache, are familiar with the concept of .htaccess files.
+</WRAP>
+For this to work as expected for entries, the server configuration must be adjusted.
+If the .htaccess file does not yet exist in the main FlatPress directory, the plugin helps you to create a suitable file.
-==== Using the editor ====
+Open the main panel Plugins in the administration area. Then open the subpanel PrettyURLs.
+In the editor window you can see the recommended content for the .htaccess file.
+<code>
+AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
+Options -Indexes
-(how to use...)
+<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
+RewriteEngine On
+RewriteBase /flatpress-instance/
-==== Manual upload ====
+RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]
-(describe here to ftp htaccess.txt and then rename)
+RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
+RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
+RewriteRule . /flatpress-instance/index.php [L]
+</IfModule>
+</code>
+You only need to save this file.
+Done.
+If this does not work, have a look at the [[en:doc:basic:troubleshooting|Troubleshooting]].
+==== Advanced ====
+To make files with the extension .php (e.G. contact.php, search.php) also friendly accessible, paste the following code into the editor instead of the above code:
+<code>
+Options -Indexes
+Options +MultiViews
+Options +FollowSymLinks
+AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
+<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
+  RewriteEngine On
+# Protects the .htacces file from external access, status code 403 "Forbidden" is output
+  RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]
+  RewriteBase /flatpress-instance/
+# Removing .php Extension and adding a trailing slash at the end
+  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
+  RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.php
+  RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ /$1/$2.php
+  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
+  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
+  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
+  RewriteRule (.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
+# Remove the fp-content directory
+  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
+  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
+  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
+  RewriteRule ^images/(.*) /flatpress-instance/fp-content/images/$1 [L]
+  RewriteRule ^attachs/(.*) /flatpress-instance/fp-content/attachs/$1 [L]
+# Redirect all other requests to index.php
+  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
+  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
+  RewriteRule ^.*$ /flatpress-instance/index.php [L,QSA]
+# Forwarding from http to https without consideration of the subdomain (www.)
+  RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
+  RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
+</IfModule>
+</code>
+==== Important note ====
+In order for the PrettyURLs plugin to write or modify the .htaccess file, it is necessary that the directory and file permissions for the .htaccess file are set (chmod 0776).
+Please note that on apache+windows prettyurls will not work, because there is NO mod_rewrite support!
+==== Nginx ====
+<WRAP right round tip 350px>
+**Hint:**\\ [[https://www.putty.org/|PuTTY]] is an ingenious SSH and Telnet client for the Windows platform.
+</WRAP>
+When using the Nginx server software, a few settings must be added manually with administrative access to the nginx.conf file. These can be found by default in the directories ''/usr/local/nginx/conf'' or ''/etc/nginx'' or ''/usr/local/etc/nginx''.
+First activate one of the two modes in the PrettyURLs configuration:
+**(*) HTTP Get** - Example: /?u=/2011/01/01/hello-world/
+or
+**(*) Pretty** - Example: /2011/01/01/hello-world/
+Then add the following code to the nginx.conf file:
+<code apache>
+# see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72521825/convert-htaccess-to-nginx-directives
+location /flatpress-instance {
+  if (!-e $request_filename) {
+    rewrite ^/(.+)$ /flatpress-instance/index.php?u=$1 last;
+    break;
+  }
+}
+</code>
+⚠️ It has not yet been confirmed that this works 100% on a live system.
