Issue with forum URLs in latest mod-rewrite (0.4.0)Posted: Sun Sep 02, 2007 5:35 pm    Post subject: Issue with forum URLs in latest mod-rewrite (0.4.0)

My live forum is still on RC4, so I'm installing all the latest SEO mods on a clean RC5 installation in a test folder before converting the live forum to RC5.

It's all working well, except that forum URLs have changed from http://www.mydomain.com/test/test-forum-f2/ to http://www.mydomain.com/test/test-forum-f2.html

I can't see any settings in the SEO control panel to change back to the old style. I don't really care which of these formats is used - but the problem is that if I enter the old style of URL, I get a 404 error. This would be a shame as I have backlinks to the live forum in that style.

Is there a line I can enter in .htaccess to change from /test-forum-f2/ style to /test-forum-f2.html style?

It's just that we've changed the default value for the suffixes in phpbb_seo_class.php :

Code:
$this->seo_ext = array( 'forum' => '.html',


You can replace it with :

Code:
$this->seo_ext = array( 'forum' => '/',


And generate a new .htaccess.

We did this because the / suffixes implies the use of base href, and really is necessary when using virtual folder.

Thanks, I've just done that but now viewing forums doesn't display properly, see this link.

I've tried clearing the cache but I still get the same problem.

I know it'll be something really simple, but can't see what I've done wrong.

just a small bug, in phpbb_seo_class.php find :

Code:
($this->seo_opt['virtual_folder'] || $this->seo_opt['virtual_root'])


replace with :
Code:
($this->seo_opt['virtual_folder'] || $this->seo_opt['virtual_root'] || ($this->seo_ext['forum'] == '/' ) )


Should do it.
