I was a bit too optimistic about saying that pre-release version RealURL did not show much problems. It did.

I made an attemt to add entries to patch cache, so that they do not have to be resolved all time. Currently they are written to cache only when URL is encoded but not when decoded. There is a technical problem putting URL to cache while decoding it because at that moment TYPO3 is not yet initialized properly. It appears that my attempt did not work and I reverted that code. So if you...

In addition to the question I receive most often, many people ask when new RealURL will be out.

It will be out soon. At the moment I am gathering feedbacks and testing it on some of my sites (this in particular). If everything goes ok for a week, I will release it.

What issues were found? Here is the list:

Double slash before postVars -- fixedIneffective default generated configuration -- suggested by one user, needs detailsHooks for extensions to provide/add configuration -- not yet solved...

This one fixes double slash bug, which was reported on previous release.

I am close to releasing updated RealURL, which will solve several serious bugs. I had to make big changes to RealURL, so I am testing it on this site before releasing it. Let's see if there are any problems.

The most significant fix is the famous "was not a keyword for a postVarSet as expected" error. Also I added autoconfiguration feature, so there is no need to manually write configuration after RealURL is installed. It will check and generate configuration if necessary(= if no...

There is one simple thing that you may forget in your RealURL configuration and it will screw up your sites.

If (1) you use have than one site in the page tree and (2) you have pages with the same path in both sites (like, /news/), you need to pay attention to one small detail: do not forget to configure all domains. For example, if you configured non-"www" domain but forgot to configure "www" domain, realurl will not be able to find correct page ID from URI when user visits "www" domain. User...

Sometimes you may wonder why performance of your site is less than expected. There can be many factors but one of them is your RealURL configuration.

There is an option named autoUpdatePathCache in tx_realurl_advanced. The idea behind this option is simple: it causes automatic update of path cache each time when page is accessed.

Normally entry in the path cache is created when user accesses a page or site map is viewed by user. Entry is added to cache and stays there until expires (also...

I decided to quickly release version 1.1.3 of RealURL because it contains a fix to possible compatibility issue with previous versions.

RealURL now recognizes defaultToHTMLsuffixOnPrev not only as boolean but also as string. This allows you to change file extension that RealURL adds by default to the very last segment. For example, if defaultToHTMLsuffixOnPrev is set to 1 or true, than RealURL will append .html suffix to URL and URL will look like http://domain.tld/hello/world.html.

Now...

New version (1.1.2) of RealURL is released...

If you read RealURL manual, you may remember this example about preVars (read on!)
