Hallo,

thank you for your great Mod!

But i have a question, how can i activate topic titles in post's URLS ?

Thank you

## Please note that this version will not inject topic titles in post's URLS. This is to make it easier
## to disallow them with our robots.txt file, since those are duplicates any way.

Posting once is enough : http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/advanced-mod-rewrite/discussions-vt3005.html

So, if you are using phpBB2, we have no mod for this, but we have one for phpBB3.

Sorry for double posting.

But can i not change something in the mod to activate the topic in the url?

Thank you.

Well if you are talking about the advanced mod rewrite, topic url do use the topic title in url. Only post urls, which are duplicates, are left statically rewritten to be disallowable by robots.txt. The zero duplicate will redirect post urls anyway, so, you won't see posts urls indexed with it.

Because i have a special Design and i can not convert it to phpbb3.

Now my URL in a post looks like -www.gps-forum.net/post.html

I have phpbb2 with the Advanced mod Rewrite and i want that my post url looks like that:

-www.gps-forum.net/topic/post.html

Thank you.

Your topic urls (viewtopic.php?t=xx) are in deed rewritten using the advanced mode : http://www.gps-forum.net/ein-heimatvertriebener-aus-dem-naviboard-t301.html

The post urls (viewtopic.php?p=xx) are as said left statically rewritten to be disallowed in the robots.txt since they are dupes.

Now, as said again, you can (and should) install the phpBB2 advanced zero duplicate to perform the redirection (http 301) you'll need to make sure that no duplicate will ever be listed in SEs.

Things like :
http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/post5382.html
http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/viewtopic.php?p=5382
etc ...

There is no virtual folder trick in the phpBB2 mod rewrites, the feature was added to phpBB3 only.
