SWEET! It works great! Thanks a ton for your help!
Is it possible to instead of "topicxx.html" be like "my-custom-name-topicxx.html" Basically I am wondering that if I put my sites main topic in that custom area, would that help SEO by inserting my main keyword into the topic url?
I would define "my-custom-name" somewhere (where ever topicxx.html is defined)
or maybe "the-forum-name-topicxx.html" Any ideas?
Also, I noticed in the install file on the list of files to edit, you are missing common.php. Thought you would like to know. 
Now off to do zero-dupe! |

At first, before we patch them, some mods and add on can output unrewritten URLs.
And you got it right, it's no big deal to have some left overs at first, if you install the zero duplicate. They'll all get http 301 redirected, as per with your old vanilla urls.
The redirection are quite easy to deal with as long as the zero dupe is installed properly. Google won't have problems about it. Example.

Ok, I am having issues with the phpbb fetch all script on my homepage because the url's are leaving out the path to my forum now. What patches do I need to add?
Thanks |

| I swear that when I first was looking into this there were edits needed for robots.txt? Is this no longer something that needs to be done? |

do you have an example of a robots.txt that would be a good one to use for a phpbb forum with mod_rewrite and zero_dupe?
thanks again for your time, Chris |

one more question, is there an exact purpose for the .html ending? Could it be re-written to have a .php ending as well in the .htaccess file?
Would this cause any problems, have lower SEO power?
Thanks for your input, Chris |

For the robots.txt with the zero dupe, disallow on index.php, viewforum.php and viewtopic.php are not necessary any more.
About suffixes, oh well .html it still the html suffix, but you can go for what you prefer, .htm or .php.
To do so you just need to update the seo_ext array in phpbb_sdeo_class.php :
| Code: | $this->seo_ext = array('cat' => '.html',
'forum' => '.html',
'topic' => '.html',
'user' => '.html',
'gz_ext' => '',
); |
and update the .htaccess accordingly.
SEO wise the suffix does not matter much. What really matter is to have gotten rid of parameters.

| thanks, my main reason for asking about the suffix is that my entire site (main site too) is all in .php and I wanted to keep it the same. Thanks |

wow, I am full of questions.
If I am actually using my index.php, do I really want to disallow it in my robots.txt?
Thanks |
