 Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2008 1:11 pm Post subject: Switching from another SEO mod with a forum in a subfolder |
|
|
Hello,
I need an advice about writing the new .htaccess or robots file with AMR, please.
At the moment we have a PHPBB2 forum (v. 2.0.23) with an old SEO mod, that doesn't work anymore after the last upgrading. The forum is in a subfolder named /forum/.
The current SEO mod rewrites the addresses using the following .htaccess (placed in the same subdirectory of the forum)
| Code: |
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule [.]*-vf([0-9]*) viewforum.php?%{QUERY_STRING}&f=$1
RewriteRule [.]*-vp([0-9]*) viewtopic.php?%{QUERY_STRING}&p=$1
RewriteRule [.]*-vt([0-9]*) viewtopic.php?%{QUERY_STRING}&t=$1
|
Now, we have decided to reinstall the forum (PHPBB2) from scratch and to use SEO Advanced Mod Rewrite (v. 2.0.4), Advanced
Zero duplicated, etc.
It's in the subfolder /tmp.forum/ (only for a test purpose) and uses this .htaccess, file placed this time in the root directory of the site.
| Code: |
RewriteEngine On
Redirect permanent /f/ http://www.MY.DOMAIN/forum/
Redirect permanent /default.htm http://www.MY.DOMAIN/

The new, temporary forum+advanced-SEO-rewrite-mod works very well, but what rules we have to add to those files to keep our previously indexed pages? Obviously, we'll rename /tmp.forum/ to /forum/ at the end...
Thank you very much. |

In you r case, since you'll be at the end using the same directory name (forum/), it will be very easy.
Just replace :
with :
and :
with
all occurrences in your .htaccess, and then add :
| Code: | #old post urls :
RewriteRule ^tmp.forum/[a-z0-9_-]*-vp([0-9]+)\.html?$ /tmp.forum/viewtopic.php?p=$1 [QSA,L,NC] |
You'll off course need to replace all occurrence of tmp.forum/ with forum/ when you'll switch for real.
Then, you'll need the zero duplicate mod to properly perform the required redirections.
If you wish, you can as well keep the same url for forums and topics, you'd just need to replace -f and -t with -vf and -vt (without the question marks this time) and add the same rewriterule for posts. Additonally you'd need to perform the same replacement (-f and -t => -vf and -vt) in phpbb_seo/phpbb_seo_class.php :
| Code: | 'forum' => '-f',
'topic' => '-t', |
Doing this would save some redirecting, but you'd still need the zero duplicate mod for post urls.
Another thing you could do would be to convert to phpBB3 directly 
Robots.txt is ok

Thank you very much for the timely and kind answer. 
All works perfectly: the pages indexed by google, etc are all correctly redirected.

I did it, thanks.

Unfortunately, we have installed a couple of custom MOD, and at the moment no idea how to port them to phpBB3.  But we'll convert the board as soon as possible.
Thanks again for all. This site has a great support! |
