Was anyone able to get rid of .html (seo_v4 module)

[AHTOXA]

Hey guys, I am trying to get rid of .html extention for the SEO mudule, so url looks like that

blah.com/classifieds/categories/real_estate

it currently looks like this

blah.com/classifieds/categories/real_estate.html

Has anyone already done it?

Another question to the creators of the SEO module, - is there any reason you decided to add that extra tail?

Thanks

To change it I think you need to edit the mod_user.php file and remove the .html from the second array.

Next open the .htaccess and remove all the \.html

Not really any reason. I guess it may be a good idea in the future to have an option where you can define what extension you want.

Hey Eric, I followed your instructions, but the links still have .html extention, so you get on the "404 The page cannot be found" But here is an interesting part, once manualy remove .html in the url address bar of the browser and hit enter, the page is displayed. This means .htaccess file and .php file were modifyed right, but there is some other files that add .html in the link itself.

I did "Find All" command for .html and found 10 other files having such.

For example files in includes\classes\smarty\plugins

function.feature_listings_horizontal.php Line 120
$link="listing/".$loop[$x][id]."/".$listing_title.".html";

function.feature_listings_vertical.php Line 85
$link="listing/".$loop[$x][id]."/".$listing_title.".html";

function.new_listings.php Line 80
$output.="<a href='listing/".$loop[$x][id]."/".$listing_title.".html'>".$loop[$x][title]."</a>";

Of course I can remove all of these and test it, but think it's appropriate to get advice from the creators, so nothing goes wrong in case I over do it.

Thanks

You've got it right, you will have to scrub those files, not sure how many, but there should be no .html files being generated outside the SEO so you should be safe.
