    • Active Forums Version: 4.4.0
    • DotNetNuke Version: 4.9.5
    I've installed vanity urls for the As forums.
    It works within forums fine (side notes that it stinks to have to go back and rewrite all of the topics for vanity urls)

    I noticed that vanity urls only work for direct forum posts, and vanity urls are not created for posts created from the group page.  Is this by design or am i missing something in setup.

    I went to activesocial and noticed the same behavior... although not sure if vanity urls are set up for the forums there.

    Lemme know,

    I created a topic using the Discussions tab in a group, and it created a vanity URL for that topic. When I was viewing the topic in the context of the group discussions tab, it did not show the Topic vanity url, because it is still showing the URL to the Active Social group details page. I went to the forum module, and clicked on the topic I had just created and it was displayed correctly, with a vanity url.

    Did you add a vanity name to the forum group, forum and sub-forum where the topic was created? You may need to add these manually.

    I think Will told me once that the two vanity url handlers are not working together in the current versions. So a forum topic like this one:

    activemodules.com/activeforums/support/vanity-urls-not-created-for-group-forum-posts/#69446

    would not look like you might expect within a group forum

    http://www.activemodules.com/my-gro...sts/#69446

    He mentioned that this could be in a future release...but I'm not sure of the roadmap with the DNN release plan at this point.

    Sorry...no edit on this forum....

    the second url for a group forum would ideally be:

    activemodules.com/groups/my-group-name/my-forum-name/vanity-urls-not-created-for-group-forum-posts/#69446
