Please make pretty URLs to the default #16764

Closed szaimen closed 3 years ago

szaimen commented 5 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I think pretty URLS should be the standard for nextcloud, because it is nicer and prettier and also more userfriendly: you do not have to see index.php, which could be confusing for non-technical users when it is part of the URL.

Describe the solution you'd like Please make pretty URLs to the default configuration.

Describe alternatives you've considered An option to opt-out via config.php sounds great.

Additional context Especially for Nextcloud Snap it is important to have it as default.

Would you mind to edit your post and add the feature request template? If the technical requirements are met (e.g. mod_rewrite for apache2) we could enable pretty urls during the setup with the option to opt-out via config.php.

Thank you for your response. I added the feature request template to the issue description. And BTW: An option to opt-out via config.php sounds great! (I added your idea to the section "Describe alternatives you've considered")

Especially for Nextcloud Snap it is important to have it as default.

Would you mind to explain why it's important especially for snap to enable it by default? I guess the maintainer of nextcloud snap could decide to enable it by default if they want (but i might be wrong).

https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-snap/issues/412 pretty urls are not enabled for nextcloud-snap because it's not enabled by default and .htaccess is not writeable.

szaimen commented 5 years ago

Yes I know, but if it was the default, then the only missing part would be making .htacces writeable. And there have been first tests enabling that.

You can host nextcloud on Nginx too, and then .htaccess only will not work. Rewriting is possible, but will need a different setup.

@szaimen did you take this into account?

szaimen commented 3 years ago

Seems like this is not feasible.
