|
|
I am migrating my forum from regular phpbb3 rc7 to a modded phpbb3 with advanced SEO URL... If I install zero duplicates after I install advanced seo url mod do I need to have special redirects to keep existing indexed pages?
I have not messed with the url format before. This is for the most part regular phpbb3.
By chance... if I haven't changed all that much of my phpbb3 can I install the premodded phpbb3 and just overwrite the database with my existing one? Then apply the changes that I made after? |

Migrating from vanilla phpBB does only require the zero duplicate up and running. All the natural URLs will be HTTP 301 redirected to the rewritten ones.
About the robots.txt, the safest is to implement it without the index, viewforum and viewtopic lines at first :
| Code: | Disallow: /phpbb/viewtopic.php
Disallow: /phpbb/viewforum.php
Disallow: /phpbb/index.php? |
This way, bots will follow the old links to topic and forums from their crawling list and will update the URLs softely. Otherwise, they will first remove the older url from their crawling list before they start to crawl the new ones.
About the premod, you can safely upload the premod's files over yours and use the same db, but you will have to take care about the eventual mods and template code change you would have installed, at least if you want to keep them.
About styling, you may want to mod your current style in case it's already personalised, this post will help you doing that.
Then, once done, you'll have to install the phpBB SEO ACP, it's simple, actually, if you overwrite all php files with one of the phpBB SEO mod rewrite installed, the ACP will already be configured, you'll just need to submit once in the setting page for the new options to show up.
If you start again without the advanced mod rewrite installed, you'll need to upload the phpbb_seo_install.php file (from the advanced mod rewrite package, not the premod) in the phpbb_seo/ dir, and lunch it.
It will work with the premod as well and will install everything except for the no duplicate mod.
So in all cases, once done, you'll have to run this query (in phpmyadmin) useful for the no duplicate mod included in the premod :
| Code: | | ALTER TABLE `phpbb_topics` ADD INDEX ( `topic_last_post_id` ); |
With the proper table prefix (phpbb_ by default), and you'll be done. |
