I have just setup phpBB 3.02 with GYM Sitemaps 2.0.B2.

I want to turn on url rewriting and GYM sitemaps mod seems to provide it, there is an option to turn it on in ACP.

Sitemaps and RSS feeds seem to work ok when the URL Rewrite is turned on however I am still left with the following forum links on the board index:

http://www.bournemouth-surf-reef.com/viewforum.php?f=1
http://www.bournemouth-surf-reef.com/viewforum.php?f=3
http://www.bournemouth-surf-reef.com/viewforum.php?f=4
http://www.bournemouth-surf-reef.com/viewforum.php?f=5

But I would like them to include the forum topic?

What am I missing here?

Let me know if you need anymore info to investigate, thanks.

anyone?

Maybe the rewrite rules are wrong in the htaccess?

Can someone post their working htaccess Rewrite fules for viewforum.php and viewtopic.php?

Please help!

Well, the url rewriting option in GYM sitemaps does only make sense if your forum urls are url rewritten.

You may want to install one of our URL rewriting solution for phpBB3, GYM will simply and automatically follow any setting you could use with them.

Thanks, can you point me to a specific mod?

I tried installing the smpl_phpbb3_mod_rewriteV0-4-4.zip and adv_phpbb3_mod_rewriteV0-4-4.zip. Neither worked with GYM sitemaps installed.
