What does FancierURL2 do? It converts the url like this

to this. It actually make it easier to reference a url within a blog and it does look nicer and cleaner.

In our blog that has many blogs built in, we can just type "http://ltooz.com/ltooz341/blog/NUCLEUSCMS" and it would go straight to the blog, which is nice because we don't have to remember all the characters if we don't have FancierULR2.

This video will show in details how to install FancierURL2(best view in HD and fullscreen)

First we need to download the FancierURL2_v06.zip file and extract it, it contains 2 files, ".htaccess" and "NP_FancierURL2.php"

Upload the ".htaccess" to the root directory = nucleus directory = l2spage

Upload the "NP_FancierURL2.php" to the plugin directory like all other plugins.

Install the plugin

Since the plugin must be on the top page of all plugins, the best is to install this plugin as soon as we set up our blog with NucleusCMS. Now, since it's on the bottom, we have to move it all the way to the top, by clicking "move up" . Another way is to uninstall all plugins except this one and re-install them, which ever is faster for you.

When it's totally to the top, then we need to... ... edit options. We don't want to display time/hour/days and we use UTF-8 in case we need to create blogs with special characters.

Go to the main admin configuration and select fancierurl option

The next one we need to do is to edit the config.php file. We need to change the file protection from 444 to 644 and add a line.

re-save the config.php and set the rights back to 444.

Now we will have nice url displays for our blogs and items. And the example we use here is for a nucleuscms system named "l2spage" and NOT "ltooz341".

Cheers,
