WORKS but mod rewrite issue (phpbb2plus) :(

Hi there.

I've installed this mod without problem.

The sitemaps create following: viewtopic.php?t=509810

But my forum, which has the standard phpbb2 plus 1.53 mod rewrite(short-url) activated, uses this rewrite: ftopic34524.html

and for forums my rewrite has these urls: forum82,FreeDebate.html

How do i make these sitemaps show these shorturls instead of default viewtopic.php?"....

the standard url works and leads to the thread, but the url is not what my forum shows and that would look weird on google.

Some one help me out?

Thanks

anyone? its just the default plus 1.53 mod rewrite, really no one in same situation as me? :S

Well. . . My two cents; you are using another system of SEO on your board- which the GYM sitemaps does not work with ( seo wise ) at least not that I am aware of.
at this point, you have a better chance asking support where you got your SEO Board from.

Or... you can enjoy the great MODs and patches that are Available for phpbb-seo's Advanced, Mixed and Simple Rewrite SEO, plus great support.
[/end my two cents]

Thanks for your reply

Oh.. But this rewrite url i got on my site, is default inbuild with plus 1.53. Im amazed that of all these users using this great sitemap mod, no one is using this inbuild shorturl function.
Its just a matter of how the sitemaps show the urls really. So shouldn't it be able to edit in htaccess or sitemap.php somehow? So that it shows ftopic instead of viewtopic ?

Because since it points to the same thread on the board, its just a matter of how the sitemap writes the url..

No chance getting this to work ?

Unfortunately, it looks like the url standard your are using will require some code change, some would only need config editing, but since this one uses the id before the title.

So, could you additonally post an example of topic url with and without pagination, and same for forum ones ?

Hi dcz

Thanks for your reply.

Oh I see.

Heres an example of topic:
-http://mysite.com/v1/phpBB2/ftopic509872.html

example of forum:
-http://mysite.com/v1/phpBB2/forum87,tv-oversigt.html

Im not sure what you mean by pagination, would that be like this?:
-http://mysite.com/v1/phpBB2/fpost148140.html#148140

Hope you can use this, would be awesome if this could be figured out. Would be great for us plus 1.53 boarders Smile

Thanks for your time

Pagination would be the url of page 2 of a topic and forum.

So, the topic urls are easier to handle, at least without pagination.

Tell me more about the page 2's link and I'll provide some code Wink

Thanks for your reply.

Ohh thats pagination ofcourse Razz

Heres an example of topics without pagination:
page 1) mysite.com/v1/phpBB2/ftopic509872.html

Heres an example of forums without pagination:
page 1) mysite.com/v1/phpBB2/forum31,nyheder.html

Heres an example of topics with pagination:
page 1) mysite.com/v1/phpBB2/ftopic509810-0-asc-0.html
page 2) mysite.com/v1/phpBB2/ftopic509810-0-asc-30.html
page 3) mysite.com/v1/phpBB2/ftopic509810-0-asc-60.html

Heres an example of forums with pagination:
page 1) mysite.com/v1/phpBB2/viewforum31-0-0,nyheder.html
page 2) mysite.com/v1/phpBB2/viewforum31-0-100,nyheder.html
page 3) mysite.com/v1/phpBB2/viewforum31-0-200,nyheder.html

Hope that would do it Very Happy

again, thanks for your time sir. Truely appreciate it!

All right. I'm though wondering about the pagination. Are the extra sorting param always used in the paginated links ?

The "-0" for forums and "-0-asc" for topics ?

Because I don't want to build duplicate here.

Besides, here is what to do for the non paginated links :

Hi dcz

Thanks alot for your time and help.

I dont know how to disable paginaton and how it might effect my forum?..

I've provided you with the link to my forum with PM.

So Im not wethr i should disable pagination(if u can tlel me where to do that) , or if I should wait for you to check the site out.

Btw. you dont have to spend time on the RSS part , because I have a nother RSS mod. So basically only sitemaps

Thanks alot.

Well I did it witout the pagination, since its only regarding the sitemap Razz

First it worked but showed the topic urls as: phpBB2/topic506722.html with the f before topic(ftopic)

And I rechecked the 'topic' => 'ftopic', in gg_functions.
.

Then I refreshed couple of times and tried with simple, now the sitemap.pho doesnt work? phpBB2/sitemap.php (i belive you have the url Smile

)

I tried to delete cache and still same access error now.

Thanks

*UPDATE*

The Sitemap.php somehow works now . So the only issue is the forum urls are wrong: madopskrifter-gf67.xml. and it leads to a "not found" page

You can try go to my sitemap.php

dcz

So, you're in the case where the xml display as text despite the fact that the correct header is sent :

Thanks for reply.

well it got way better now hehe.

On: http://www.islamic.dk/v1/phpBB2/sitemap.php?forum=67 it shows all the topics with correct url rewrite.

The ONLY thing not working right now is the url rewrite for the forums on the sitemap.php

on http://islamic.dk/v1/phpBB2/sitemap.php the urls for the different forum xml's are wrong.

And I've pasted following code at the bottom of my htaccess in /phpBB2 root:

The forum url on sitemap.php which is incorrect in my case, is it absolutly important for it to be correct, in order for google to catch it?

SeO

are you sure about the rewriterules ?

Because url like -http://www.islamic.dk/v1/phpBB2/fri-debat-gf2.xml and -http://www.islamic.dk/v1/phpBB2/sitemaps.xml

should work with these. May be a slash issue. Could you post your phpBB's .htaccess ?

And you're confusing about the links shown on sitemap.php, it's a sitemapindex listing all the available sitemaps, -http://www.islamic.dk/v1/phpBB2/fri-debat-gf2.xml is not a forum url, it's the url of the forum with id = 2 sitemap.
