![[Migration] Able2know mod rewrite](http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif "Re: [Migration] Able2know mod rewrite") Posted: Tue Jan 30, 2007 3:51 am Post subject: Re: [Migration] Able2know mod rewrite |

Hello everybody!
I'm spanish amateur webmaster, I have my forum with more that 2000 urls indexed by google, the forum have 2 years olds. I have use the Able2know.com but I have read here that this project is abandonated? is is correct??
I want use a mod to the future, for phpbb3, etc... then i don'r use a mod abandonated. however, if I migrate to this mod (php-seo.com mod) i have that set 301 redirects for all my indexed able2know urls??
Can I use the php-seo mod with my old able2know urls?? Moreover, I use a "minicustomised" able2know mod version in spanish language, my url's forum are foros-1.html instead forum-1.html and /foro/tema45.html instead /foro/about45.html - is it a big problem?
My forum url is www.nortejoven.com/foro I try install the sitemap and don't work: www.nortejoven.com/foro/sitemap.php the url get a 404 code, then I think that if I use the phpbb-seo mod I can use the sitemap and other addons more easy, but I can't miss all my work in the urls indexed in google... In the forum I have a hundreds that urls with my able2know url, for example http://www.nortejoven.com/foro/tema23.html
if i can use php-seo mod with this url, I change my mod now!! jeje
Regards from spain and sorry for my bad english |

And welcome 
So I split the topic to make it easier for the new mod rewrites.
So, migrating always follow the same principle, what we want is both our older URL and our newer one to work .htaccess side, so that we'll be able to http redirect older to newer ones.
You could imagine to keep you old urls even with the phpBB SEO mod rewrites, it's actually very easy, but, you could take this occasion to migrate at least to the mixed mod rewrite.
The able2knwo equivalent here is the simple mod rewrite, it's very handy and eazy to use, as you'll mostly won't need patches, but using the forum title in their url is a great SEO enhancement.
For topics, it depends on your project, if your average topic title is good enough to be used in URLs.
It's not always the case.
So these are the first few choices. Keeping old urls as a standard (but getting rid of all dupes) or upgrade to the mixed or the advanced phpBB SEO mod rewrite while migrating.
Once you'll have made up your mind about this, we'll go further in details

hello again and thanks for tou answer
However, i decide use the able2know mod because I think that is more easy his implementation.
Moreover, i use the "last topic mod" in my index page, and I have a forum in a subfolder, then with simple mod or able2know I can make /foro/tema45.html urls easiest.
Sorry for my bad english
Regards! |

Well, if you switch to the simple mod rewrite, it will be as easy to deal with as the abl2know mod rewrite, and as easy to install too.
Beside, you'll be able to keep you current URL if you prefer, but not the duplicates
It's really easy to do, try downloading it, and test it on a local server, you'll see.
All the url settings to change everything you want are in phpbb_seo/phpbb_seo_class.php
The settings that matters with the simple one are :
| Code: | $this->seo_ext = array('cat' => '.html',
'forum' => '.html',
'topic' => '.html',
'user' => '.html',
'gz_ext' => '',
);
$this->seo_static = array('cat' => 'cat',
'forum' => 'forum',
'topic' => 'topic',
'post' => 'post',
'user' => 'member',
'start' => '-',
'gz_ext' => '.gz',
'index' => ''
); |
Pretty simple, you can decide to use .html, or .htm or .php or even / or whatever you'd like for each type of extensions (cat, forum, topic users) and the same with the static part.
By default it's cat for cat, forum for forum, member for member and topic for topics, but you can edit these here to what you want
It will work everywhere as long as you update the .htaccess accordingly.
And the same, you should then keep the old rewriterules at the bottom of the new .htaccess, letting the zero dupe redirect all dupes
Duplicate reduction is really a major SEO enhancement.
Stands for the forum index url, by default empty means the links won't show index.php for forum index, you can put index.html or what you prefer si as well you update the .htaccess.
The zero dupe is following these settings as well as all phpBB SEO mod rewrites.
This mean you'll be able to install any phpBB SEO modules such as GYM sitemaps without changing anything.
To me, all this make it really worth editing three files.

Thanks!
Is posible that in the future I use your mod, but at the moment I use the able2know. My url is www.nortejoven.com/foro - You say that your mod is prepared for the phpbb 3.0 and the able2konw is abandoned... in the future your mod will be famous
Regards from spain and thanks for all! |
