Module's Version: 1.3.0
I have a forum to submit news
when someone does sumbit new to that forum
i get a PM to approve post

BUT the html links provided by GT dont work to:
1. Approve the post
2. Approve all future posts in that topic
3. Auto approve user

i had to physically diable GT to approve post and user and then re-enable GT cause it re wrote all my links site wide to html

here are the 3 links from the LATEST POST
these will be an example as the links will change per post and per user

Try the following code out:

Code:

header.php
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&(p|t)=([0-9]*)&app_(r|p|ua)=([0-9]*)'",

"forums-\\1\\2-\\3\\4.html",

.htaccess
RewriteRule ^forums-(p|t)([0-9]*)-(r|p|ua)([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&$1=$2&app_$3=$4

Code:

Now don't forget that your ampersands may be off, for example, it will rewrite according to what is represented in the code, so if a ampersand in html & is present, then that has to be reflected in the header.php, here is an example of what I mean.

The URL would be written as follows:
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&(p|t)=([0-9]*)&app_(r|p|ua)=([0-9]*)'",

Instead of:
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&(p|t)=([0-9]*)&app_(r|p|ua)=([0-9]*)'",

The easiest way for me to usually figure it out is to look straight at the code and see how it is supposed to be printed. Also note that you do not need to represent the ampersand's in the .htaccess. So the .htaccess file entry should be all set for you. let me know if you figure it out. I dont have forum news, so I cannot guarantee that this will work for you.
