[TYPO3] CHC_Forum and RealUrl : nice URL's

[Joost van Berckel]

Hello Typo3 list

I am implementing the CHC Forum extension in Typo3 version 4.0.4 with Real 
Url. In less than one month from now we wish to launch our website for 
future university students of the Delft University of Technology in the 
Netherlands.

However I wish to rewrite the threads and posts in order to have a readable 
urls, so we set-up the configuration of RealURL, see below.

// begin RealURL configuration

<?php
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SC_OPTIONS'] ['t3lib/class.t3lib_tstemplate.php'] 
['linkData-PostProc'] []
= 'EXT:realurl/class.tx_realurl.php:&tx_realurl->encodeSpURL';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SC_OPTIONS'] ['tslib/class.tslib_fe.php'] 
['checkAlternativeIdMethods-PostProc'] []
= 'EXT:realurl/class.tx_realurl.php:&tx_realurl->decodeSpURL';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SC_OPTIONS'] ['t3lib/class.t3lib_tcemain.php'] 
['clearAllCache_additionalTables'] ['tx_realurl_urldecodecache']
= 'tx_realurl_urldecodecache';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SC_OPTIONS'] ['t3lib/class.t3lib_tcemain.php'] 
['clearAllCache_additionalTables'] ['tx_realurl_urlencodecache']
= 'tx_realurl_urlencodecache';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['FE'] ['addRootLineFields'] .=
',tx_realurl_pathsegment,alias,nav_title,title';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXTCONF']['realurl'] = array(

 // Default host
 '_DEFAULT' => array(

  // General configuration
  'init' => array(
   'doNotRawUrlEncodeParameterNames' => 0,
   'enableCHashCache' => 1,
   'respectSimulateStaticURLs' => 1,
   'appendMIssingSlash' => 1,
   'adminJumpToBackend' => 0,
   'enableUrlDecodeCache' => 1,
   'enableUrlEncodeCache' => 1,
  ),

  // Redirections
  'redirects' => array(),
  // Pre variables
  'preVars' => array(

  // No cache
   array(
    'GETvar' => 'no_cache',
    'valueMap' => array(
    'no_cache' => 1,
    ),
    'noMatch' => 'bypass',
   ),
   // Language
   array(
    'GETvar' => 'L',
    'valueMap' => array(
    'nl' => '0',
    'en' => '1',
    ),
    'valueDefault' => 'nl',
   ),
  ),
  // Transformation method
  'pagePath' => array(
   'type' => 'user',
   'userFunc' => 
'EXT:realurl/class.tx_realurl_advanced.php:&tx_realurl_advanced->main',
   'spaceCharacter' => '-',
   'languageGetVar' => 'L',
   'expireDays' => 3,
  ),
  // Fixed post variables
  'fixedPostVars' => array(),
  // Post variables
  'postVarSets' => array(
   '_DEFAULT' => array(
    // CHC Forum

'vragen' => array(
array(
 'GETvar' => 'view',
),
array(
 'GETvar' => 'conf_uid',
 'lookUpTable' => array(
   'table' => 'tx_chcforum_conference',
   'id_field' => 'uid',
   'alias_field' => 'conference_name',
   'addWhereClause' => ' AND NOT deleted',
   'useUniqueCache' => 1,
   'useUniqueCache_conf' => array(
    'strtolower' => 1,
    'spaceCharacter' => '-',
   ),
  ),
),
array(
 'GETvar' => 'thread_uid',
 'lookUpTable' => array(
    'table' => 'tx_chcforum_thread',
    'id_field' => 'uid',
    'alias_field' => 'thread_subject',
    'addWhereClause' => ' AND NOT deleted',
    'useUniqueCache' => 1,
    'useUniqueCache_conf' => array(
     'strtolower' => 1,
     'spaceCharacter' => '-',
    ),
   ),
),
array(
 'GETvar' => 'cat_uid',
 'lookUpTable' => array(
  'table' => 'tx_chcforum_category',
  'id_field' => 'uid',
  'alias_field' => 'uid',
  //'alias_field' => 'cat_title',
  'addWhereClause' => ' AND NOT deleted',
  'useUniqueCache' => 1,
  'useUniqueCache_conf' => array(
        'strtolower' => 1,
       'spaceCharacter' => '-',
    ),
  ),
),
array(
 'GETvar' => 'post_uid',
 'lookUpTable' => array(
    'table' => 'tx_chcforum_post',
    'id_field' => 'uid',
    //'alias_field' => 'post_subject',
    'alias_field' => 'uid',
    'addWhereClause' => ' AND NOT deleted',
    'useUniqueCache' => 1,
    'useUniqueCache_conf' => array(
     'strtolower' => 1,
     'spaceCharacter' => '-',
    ),
  ),
),


),

    // end CHC Forum
   ),
  ),
  // File names
  'fileName' => array(
   'index' => array(
    '' => array(
     'keyValues' => array(),
    ),
   ),
  ),
 ),
);
?>

// end RealURL

Now the URL looks like this:

Single tread : 
http://scholierenlab-test.tudelft.nl/nl/forum/vragen/single_thread/wiskunde/reynoldsgetal/1/

All categories : 
http://scholierenlab-test.tudelft.nl/nl/forum/vragen/all_cats/

Single conference: 
http://scholierenlab-test.tudelft.nl/nl/forum/vragen/single_conf/wiskunde//1/



However I want to have:

Single tread : 
http://scholierenlab-test.tudelft.nl/nl/forum/topic/wiskunde/reynoldsgetal/

All categories : http://scholierenlab-test.tudelft.nl/nl/forum/topiclist/ or 
http://scholierenlab-test.tudelft.nl/nl/forum/

Single conference: 
http://scholierenlab-test.tudelft.nl/nl/forum/topic/wiskunde/

We only have one forum category ("stel vragen aan de TU over je 
profielwerkstuk"). Also we now have 2 times the word forum in the url. Can 
you inform us how to leave all of this out of the url, or if it isn't 
posible to leave it away how to put it as nice as possible.

Anybody?

Nice regards
