 Posted: Thu May 22, 2008 12:21 pm Post subject: Bug? URLs not rewritten when viewing user's posts |
|
|
I have advanced seo mod for PHPBB3 perfectly installed and configured for my forum, but a forum user pointed me to the fact that when querying a registered user's posts, URLs in the main table are not rewritten.
Example (for admin user): http://www.unicp.de/forum/search.php?author_id=2&sr=posts
It gives out URLs of the form postXXX.html#44 |

Hi,
but the htaccess is just about the mod rewrite itself, i.e., it attributes the modified seo urls to the true phpbb script files.
I would expect the php code of the search.php file to output the correctly modified "seo-friendly" link that is used everywhere else to avoid duplicate content. |

<Files "config.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
<Files "common.php">

You didn't upgrade this part :
| Code: | # USER MESSAGES THROUGH USERNAME
RewriteRule ^member/([^/]+)/(topics|posts)/?(page([0-9]+)\.html)?$ search.php?author=$1&sr=$2&start=$4 [QSA,L,NC]
# GROUPS ADVANCED
RewriteRule ^[a-z0-9_-]*-g([0-9]+)(-([0-9]+))?\.html$ memberlist.php?mode=group&g=$1&start=$3 [QSA,L,NC]
# POST
RewriteRule ^post([0-9]+)\.html$ viewtopic.php?p=$1 [QSA,L,NC]
# ACTIVE TOPICS
RewriteRule ^active-topics(-([0-9]+))?\.html$ search.php?search_id=active_topics&start=$2&sr=topics [QSA,L,NC]
# UNANSWERED TOPICS
RewriteRule ^unanswered(-([0-9]+))?\.html$ search.php?search_id=unanswered&start=$2&sr=topics [QSA,L,NC]
# NEW POSTS
RewriteRule ^newposts(-([0-9]+))?\.html$ search.php?search_id=newposts&start=$2&sr=topics [QSA,L,NC] |
which was introduced with phpBB 3.0.1
It's not a bug, upload the .htaccess i gave you, it should work fine.

Did you upload the .htaccess on your /forum folder ?
Mathieu. |
1. Under SEO Class Settings, in the ACP, I find only Virtual Folder, not Virtual Folder Profiles. The option you mention doesn't exist there.
2. Yes, I uploaded the file to the forum folder again (otherwise I would have overwritten the htaccess of my main site). |

These links are actually url rewriten, would be viewtopic.php.p=xx if not.
When searching for post, you see post urls, when searching for topics, you see topic urls, there is no efficient solution to transform post url to topic urls in search pages, since it would most likely require a SQL per post.
http://phpbb3.phpbb-seo.net/member/SeO/posts/ VS http://phpbb3.phpbb-seo.net/member/SeO/topics/
It's not an SEO issue as long as you install the advised robots.txt, the zero duplicate mod can as well redirect these links in case some where already spidered and cached. |
I checked my robots.txt and it includes the line
| Code: | | Disallow: /forum/post |
so in fact it won't create duplicate content. I have also zero duplicate installed, and in the ACP, it has an option concerning the posts:
| Quote: | Posts Redirections:
This option will determine how to handle post urls; it can take four values :
* off, do not redirect post url, whatever the case,
* post, only make sure postxx.html is used for a post url,
* guest, redirect guests if required to the corresponding topic url rather than to the postxx.html, and only make sure postxx.html is used for logged users,
* all, redirect if required to the corresponding topic url.
Please Note
Keeping the postxx.html URLs is harmless SEO wise as long as you keep the disallow on post urls in your robots.txt.
Redirecting them all will most likely produce the most redirections among all.
If you redirect postxx.html in all cases, this as well mean that a message that would be posted in a thread and then moved in another one will see it's url changing, which thanks to the zero duplicate mod is of no harm SEO wise, but the previous link to the post won't link to it anymore in such case. |
What I learn from it, is that if you really want to, you can force the all post links to be redirected, but that would create hundreds or thousands of redirections and be very inefficient.
So I think I will keep it as it is.
I just have a conceptual question: Isn't it possible to use URLs consisting of the topic and a #xy at the end for the post number? (e.g. http://www.unicp.de/forum/vervollstaendigung-f17/mehr-infos-zu-studentenleben-erbeten-t47.html#2)
Bye and thanks your support so far
