Friendly URLs on by default

This small tutorial let's you set friendly URLs for blogs on your site on by default, so users don't have to do it manually via UCP.

Friendly URLs are crucial thing for bookmarking. 9 out of 10 bookmarking services will NOT add correctly a link like this:

http://www.domain.com/forum/index.php?automodule=blog&req=showblog&mid=2

Everything that comes after first "&" sign will be parsed in most cases. To be sure your blog is being bookmarked correctly you MUST have friendly URLs turned ON and link to you blog should look like this:

http://www.domain.com/forum/blog/usename/

To do so open skin_blog_ucp -> blog_settings_friendlyurl

Find:

<input type='checkbox' name='blog_enable_friendlyurl' value='1' {$blog['blog_enable_friendlyurl']} />

Replace with:

<input type='checkbox' name='blog_enable_friendlyurl' value='1' {$blog['blog_enable_friendlyurl']} checked />

Voila!
