se friendly urls

Hello - i have just downloaded and installed piwigo with no troubles, but I noticed that the urls are not really a help for search engines,  ex.

http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?/category/movie - here i see index.php? as a problem, not to next cat.

http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?/category/2 -now here the same with index, but im missing the name of that subcategory, now i click there

http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?/category/3 same as above and now also name of subsub category is missing.

20110811184837-bdffc3ca.jpg thats a image where is the real name of the image?

If you know gallery2 it has clean url, but i wanted to use your script this time, be cause it looks great, is there something i can do, i hope there is a solution.

Re: se friendly urls

hello
you means SEO ^^
The url can be changed with the config files (use local file editor) : [Forum, post 123982 by Gotcha in topic 17945] Link structure / Permalinks
Are you a professional in referencing ? It might be interesting. But Piwigo galleries are well referenced as far as I know

Re: se friendly urls

For example of the good ranking of Piwgo galleries : mine -planete-flop-,  in on the top of the second page for "heather christensen"

Re: se friendly urls

ok have been looking at it and made the changes, well we are not there yet, let me give you a example how it has to look,

www.domain.com - now i click a category
www.domain.com/category_name/ then I click sub category
www.domain.com/category_name/sub_category/ then I click subsubcategory
www.domain.com/category_name/sub_catego … bcategory/ now I click a image
www.domain.com/category_name/sub_catego … y/a_image/ now I click on the large image to get original size.
www.domain.com/category_name/sub_catego … batman.jpg

thats how it should look, but thats my view as a seo, I know there can be issue with those numbers which has to be added with some software, those has to be ad the end of a category or image.

Image title HAS to be in the url and link to image in HTML

Re: se friendly urls

oh! I understand your logic but I'm afraid the succession of sub sub etc, can't be done easily
also what should be done for pictures seen from "most viewed" "most rated" ... ?

for the numbers ... you talk about the 20110811184837-bdffc3ca.jpg ? it's an auto rename for pictures uploaded. with the method ftp+synchro, there's no rename So the name (=title) of the picture should be taken. But if several pictures have the same name ?

the important thing is first the core of the gallery, there is more to come.

so to get real title in image is possible? - if several pictures, then a no. is added last of image name batman_1 or I think many uses the image galllery alone, so a little note to the user if the image name does exist, so please rename image which can be done in admin.

rewrite can that be a solution to the category issue to speed things up and the image name thing can that be done easy?

Hello,
"Soon," No, it is not expected. We still lack the jurisdiction of an SEO to guide us effectively and achieve concrete results.

Re: se friendly urls

gotcha is right
If someone has enough knowledge to modify Piwigo in that way, and enough time for a long-period experiment, it would be interesting.
it's not planed to change url like that and it will not until many changes more urgent are done
