 Posted: Sun Jun 08, 2008 1:18 am Post subject: Converting From phpBB 2 with AMR to phpBB 3 with AMR |
|
|
Hey all,
I run several phpBB 2s and I use the advanced mod rewrite on all of them. 
We are working toward an upgrade to phpBB 3 and aim to use the advanced mod rewrite for phpBB 3. But, I am also concerned about our current URLs and ensuring that they, at least, get forwarded.
As both hacks are released here, I was thinking there might be a concrete conversion in place that will ensure that the phpBB 2 urls created by the phpBB 2 hack will be forwarded to the new phpBB 3 ones. I did a quick search and looked at the package briefly, but I didn't see anything. So, I wanted to ask if anything like that was available. I may have missed it and, if that was the case, I would greatly appreciate a pointer to the right page.
I appreciate your time and consideration.
Thanks,
Patrick |

It's actually made simple by our mods, but since we are allowing so many configuration to our phpBB3 URLs, there is no final answer to it, it must be done on a per case basis.
The principle is simple though, all we will need is to keep some of the old rewriterules, the one that are different from the new phpBB3 one in the phpBB3 .htaccess, after :
| Code: | | # HERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO ADD OTHER PHPBB RELATED REWRITERULES |
This, in order to allow the old URL to still match phpBB script :
| Code: | | old-url => old rewriterule => phpBB script (internal) => zero dupe => HTTP 301 redirect => new url => phpBB script (internal) and page load |
As you see, the redirecting occurs with only one http 301 header and finally one page load.
So, to make it simple, and if you need some more help, please post here both your old and new .htaccess (the one you'll generate once you'll have chosen your settings) and I'll tell you what to keep

Hello,
Thank you very much for the replies.
I appreciate the offer of assistance, dcz. Right now, I'm using the default URLs for the phpBB 2 hack and I'm guessing I'll use the default URLs for the phpBB 3 one, as well. (Either URL structure is fine, so I guess I could just keep the old structure if that's feasible).
Anyway, I'll post back when it comes time to go over the .htaccess files. Thanks again!

The conversion could as well be a good occasion to put together a nicer and unique URL standard, but you can as well stay close to phpBB2 urls if you prefer.
Maybe you should give a try installing our SEO premod, you'll be able to test all our mods at once without effort, some new features such as forum url caching and forum id removing are pretty nice
You'd now better what to do with some tests.
