Forum main page titles didnt get rewrittenPosted: Sun Jan 28, 2007 2:25 pm    Post subject: Forum main page titles didnt get rewritten

First of all --
This is most helpful SEO forum I've ever seen, thank you, guys for starting it.

I have message board which I have just started at [mod]we'll keep this private Wink[/mod]

it's phpBB 2.0.22 version

sorry for the way it's called but that's where I do business.

First I tried Simple mod rewrite and it worked perfectly ... then I thought why not giving a try to Advanced mod Rewrite and installed it following all directions described in the help .txt file... as a result my main page didnt get rewritten but viewforum.php page and others look like everything is ok.

Can you help me to find out where my mistake could hide???
Thanks,
I am sure you will help.

Forum main page titles didnt get rewrittenPosted: Sun Jan 28, 2007 2:43 pm    Post subject: Re: Forum main page titles didnt get rewritten

this is what help file says:

Code:

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
index.php
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#

      if (isset($display_categories[$cat_id]) && $display_categories[$cat_id])
      {

#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
         // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
         $phpbb_seo->seo_url['cat'][$cat_id] = $phpbb_seo->format_url($category_rows[$i]['cat_title'], $phpbb_seo->seo_static['cat']);
         // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#

                     $template->assign_block_vars('catrow.forumrow',   array(

#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
                     // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
                     if ( !isset($phpbb_seo->seo_url['forum'][$forum_id]) ) {
                        $phpbb_seo->seo_url['forum'][$forum_id] = $phpbb_seo->format_url($forum_data[$j]['forum_name'], $phpbb_seo->seo_static['forum']);
                     }
                     // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END

Forum main page titles didnt get rewrittenPosted: Sun Jan 28, 2007 2:47 pm    Post subject: Re: Forum main page titles didnt get rewritten

You just added this part :
Code:
                     // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
                     if ( !isset($phpbb_seo->seo_url['forum'][$forum_id]) ) {
                        $phpbb_seo->seo_url['forum'][$forum_id] = $phpbb_seo->format_url($forum_data[$j]['forum_name'], $phpbb_seo->seo_static['forum']);
                     }
                     // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END

right after :
Code:
         // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
         $phpbb_seo->seo_url['cat'][$cat_id] = $phpbb_seo->format_url($category_rows[$i]['cat_title'], $phpbb_seo->seo_static['cat']);
         // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END


What is asked is :
Code:
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#

                     $template->assign_block_vars('catrow.forumrow',   array(

#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
                     // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
                     if ( !isset($phpbb_seo->seo_url['forum'][$forum_id]) ) {
                        $phpbb_seo->seo_url['forum'][$forum_id] = $phpbb_seo->format_url($forum_data[$j]['forum_name'], $phpbb_seo->seo_static['forum']);
                     }
                     // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END



So just move :

Code:
                     // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
                     if ( !isset($phpbb_seo->seo_url['forum'][$forum_id]) ) {
                        $phpbb_seo->seo_url['forum'][$forum_id] = $phpbb_seo->format_url($forum_data[$j]['forum_name'], $phpbb_seo->seo_static['forum']);
                     }
                     // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END


Before :

Code:
                    $template->assign_block_vars('catrow.forumrow',   array(

Forum main page titles didnt get rewrittenPosted: Sun Jan 28, 2007 3:07 pm    Post subject: Re: Forum main page titles didnt get rewritten

The easiest will be to start again from scratch for index.php.
So take a fresh index.php file (not modified) and open it.

It's really easy, you just need to first find :

Code:
      if (isset($display_categories[$cat_id]) && $display_categories[$cat_id])
      {


and add after :

Code:
       // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
         $phpbb_seo->seo_url['cat'][$cat_id] = $phpbb_seo->format_url($category_rows[$i]['cat_title'], $phpbb_seo->seo_static['cat']);
         // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END


You did well for this part so far, the only trick is you need to search again for another piece of code for the second piece of code to add, so then look for :

Code:
                    $template->assign_block_vars('catrow.forumrow',   array(


And this time add BEFORE the found line :
Code:
                     // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
                     if ( !isset($phpbb_seo->seo_url['forum'][$forum_id]) ) {
                        $phpbb_seo->seo_url['forum'][$forum_id] = $phpbb_seo->format_url($forum_data[$j]['forum_name'], $phpbb_seo->seo_static['forum']);
                     }
                     // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END

Code:
$template->assign_block_vars('catrow.forumrow',   array(
