[DEV] phpBB SEO Mixed mod Rewrite V 0.0.1 - UPDATED

Before you do anything :

this post

Under construction Topic.

From now on, the English versions will see the profiles URL to be : memberxx.html (membrexx.html in the French one).

This mod is working fully with phpBB vanilla (unmodded), special patch may be required for some mods, like simple sub forum. Many of them already exist here.

You should think about which solution will best fit your forum project before you install any of the three phpBB SEO mod Rewrite.

As well you should think about your robots.txt as well as about the www prefix issue.

The mx Google Siteamps and mx Sitmaps are, off course, compatible, useful and a requirement to help out Search Engines to Crawl you site well.

You can as well find out a lot of interesting Search Engine Optimization (SEO) parameters thanks to our phpBB SEO webmaster Tools

You should perform test locally or on a test server before you use this setup on a live site. This will prevent many small path issues in .htaccess from becoming too stressing for you Wink

To load mod Rewrite with Easyphp :
Open EasyPHP1-8\conf_files\httpd.conf and uncomment
(get rid of the "#" at the beginning of the required lines) those two lines :

Updated to 0.0.2 Wink

Updating is very easy and will improve performance.

Besides, nothing will change for your phpBB URLs.

I am currently working on enhancing phpBB link and to organise the phpBB SEO Toolkit. I thought the nav link handling should be added to the phpBB SEO mod rewrites themselves, as it require very little changes.

Here are the code changes that will be added to the next version, you can implement them now they are final Wink

They'll make sure your nav links are mod rewritten and will get rid of the next and previous topic links for guest, as they are duplicates.

hello

me again

i think i can use this mod
my language is not supported in this mod but i can use english name for my forums

can it be effective for my forum pagerank ?
english title for forums, persian content with few english keywords Rolling Eyes

I think it would be better to talk about this is a new thread, but anyway yes, I think so, but only if the keywords can be useful.

We have seen phpbb could be a keyword you'd like, so there are some.

But it depends as well on the used search keyword linking to your site. I'd say, do it if the English words are likely to be used quite often in your forums, if nit, I am not sure it's this worth it to inject a keyword in an url never showing the keyword itself.

Then, I am not sure how well will the format_url() function will handle Persian UTF-8 mixed with English word.

This is to be tested, maybe utf8_encode & utf8_decode can help here too Wink

OK.
I've got a copy of .htaccess in both the root and the cache folder?
Is that wrong?

It's in the root.
So I need to:

1. Delete .htaccess from cache but leave it in the root
2. Remove those lines from it

Thanks very much.
Very Happy
