I tried doing url rewrite via htaccess, I couldn't do it... Would be nice if someone helped.

Answer 1

Yes, check in the main config file for the QA_CONST_PATH_MAP option. You would need something like this:

$QA_CONST_PATH_MAP=array( 
    'ask' => 'differenttext', 
    'questions' => 'othertext', 
);

It does not change the links. Do we need a new installation ?

Hi, thanks for replying but this does not seem to work :-(

Hmm, it works fine for me. I think you are doing something wrong. Can you post the code you added there to qa-config.php?

Answer 2

I have figured it out!

Inside qa-base find line below:

$qa_request_map=is_array(@$QA_CONST_PATH_MAP) ? $QA_CONST_PATH_MAP : array();

And  insert custom url in bracket as shown below:

('questions' => 'Your custom name',);

('ask' => 'Your custom name 2',);
