=== To install:

== Step 1 - Copy mod/uri to your [elgg_dirroot]/mod/

== Step 2 - Inside mod/uri/patchs are the needed modifications to some files
    who show post links. If patchs fail, try apply the individuals patchs by hand.

    You can test the patch like this:

    $ cd [your_elgg_dirroot]
    $ cat mod/uri/patchs/all_in_one.patch | patch -p1 --dry-run

    If no errors or fail, apply the patch:

    $ cat mod/uri/patchs/all_in_one.patch | patch -p1

== Step 3 - To populate your uri's, as admin user go to:
    http://domain/elgg/mod/uri/populate.php

== Step 4 - Modify your .htaccess (your elgg will still functional)

    Be carefull on this, remove the next two lines:

 RewriteRule ^[A-Za-z0-9]+\/weblog\/([0-9]+)\.html$ mod/blog/view_post.php?post=$1
RewriteRule ^[A-Za-z0-9]+\/weblog\/([0-9]+)\.html.([0-9]+)$ mod/blog/view_post.php?         ->post=$1&commentpage=$2

And add the next two lines at end of weblog rewrite rules, after everyone rewrite rule:

RewriteRule ^[A-Za-z0-9]+\/weblog\/([A-Za-z0-9\.\/_-]+)$ mod/blog/view_post.php?post=$1
RewriteRule ^[A-Za-z0-9]+\/weblog\/([A-Za-z0-9\.\/_-]+),([0-9]+)?$ mod/blog/view_post.php?  ->post=$1&commentpage=$2

== Step 5 - Now you can go to http://domain/elgg/weblog/everyone
    and see the new fancy links ;)

You can personlize the uri as you want with some limitations, see get_uri function at mod/  ->uri/lib.php
