I've installed the advanced SEO mod-rewrite on my development forum and it works well but it does'nt re-write the urls for the latest and most popular topic mod i have installed.

Has someone already created a fix for this?

Thanks for the welcome.

I can't find the thread on phpbb.com, the search function never seems to work well.....

This is a link to the mod at phpbbhacks.com

Is this any good?

The problem with this mod is that it's not passing the topic titles through the phpBB censoring.

It's not often required to censor part of a title, I mean, I do edit topic title I find too bad.

And the zero dupe is allowing us to edit topic titles even with the advanced mod rewrite, so it's not a very big issue.

It depends on will the SQL queries needed to build the censored word array be worth it on phpBB index, already a demanding page.

Anyway, here is the light tweak, tell me if you'd prefer to see the topic titles censored as well and I'll tell you how.

hi, i'm having trouble making this mod work (The last Five and the Five popular (answers/views) on index.php - Mod Version: 1.1.0) with the rewrite mod (phpBB SEO Advanced mod Rewrite MOD Version:0.2.0) ...

the rewrite mod works prerfectly, then i install the last five mod as per instructions, but the url are not seo.

if i use the first fix from dcz in this post, i get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: format_url() in /home/adv/public_html/index.php on line 413

if i use the second fix, i get this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /home/adv/public_html/index.php on line 440

if i remove the")" from the lines, i get no error anymore from the index.php but the urls are not correct: http://www.mysite.com/.%20append_sid(viewtopic.php?t=26

must be an easy fix....

thank you for your help!

Oh sorry, I missed this, and actually, there is a typo, the second replace should be :

ok, i figured it out

$popular_post = '<a href="' . append_sid("viewtopic.$phpEx?" . POST_TOPIC_URL . '=' . $popular_row[$i]['topic_id']) . '" title="' . $popular_row[$i]['topic_title'] . '">' . $popular_topic_title . '</a>';

the bracket was missing

it's all working now, thank you very much for your help!
