|
|
Hi
I was just testing the phpBB premod on my local machine so that i can see if do i need in order to convert my old phpbb2 forum to this one .
I wanted the RSS entries to show show about 500 characters of the post. But after trying all combination of settings, i was unable to get the desired output for rss.
At present, I have clean installation of premod, GYM installed after that. ( was in the download package )
And for the settings part, i used the following
Allow Item Content:yes
Tried Digest Items: with 500 with characters, word, sentences, and with 0 as well to have full contents. But no use.
Note: eacch time i have purges cache, style refereshed and eveni tried to manually clear the cache each time i applied new setting.
Please can any one help me what am i missing?
Thanks |

Thanks DCZ,
it worked, but i am still confused about the character and word count. it do not seem accurate to me. Also i am not moving from phpbb2+gym , actually it was some RSS mod that i had added to phpbb2. Also, the older path for rss is
domain/rss.php
where as moving to phpbb3 will change the path. Any suggestions about it? The sitemap path is
domain/sitemap.php
What am i supposed to do when moving to phpbb3 premod so that the older links donot break.
Thanks |

For the digest methods, be sure you're not tricked by cache (both GYM's and browser's), as well, words are not broken, and there are some cases where bcode will trick the counting a bit, but beside, it should work.
About your old mod, the GYM1x redirecting trick will work with your mod since it was using the same file (rss.php), if it was not url rewritten, you can bypass the extra rewriterules. Extra params will not work, but users will be informed about the new urls to use still.

you mean that since you'll have to install phpBB3 in a separate dir and then convert you'll need to change the install dir ? Actually, you do not need to keep the temporary install dir for phpBB3, it's only required to perform the conversion, you can move phpBB3 to the original phpBB2 dir (after you deleted all phpBB2 files) and then update the phpBB config for the new script path.
This is actually what I would recommend to do unless you really want to move the forum.
About the new / old url, it depends. If phpBB2 was not url rewritten, then you'll only need to install / activate the zero duplicate mod to properly redirect urls in all cases, if phpBB2 was using some url rewriting, you'll just need to additionally keep the old rewriterules up and running at the bottom of your phpBB3's .htaccess, the zero dupe will do the rest

I do not understand how to do this in practice....I see it works for you but I cannot find any similar digest url in my feeds.
My feed is found at
http://forum.asktheneurologist.com/Neuroforum/gymrss.php
and I cannot get any digests going 
Please help! |

Hi DCZ,
Thanks for that all. I am close to upgrading my forum to phpBB3, 2 reasons delayed,
1-Large image cut off problem ( Still unable to make the width dynamic for forum  )
2-Some customizations, mods and url rewrite issues.
Though not 100% but getting close to them all 
I think, i didn't made it clear with rss.php and sitemap.php paths.
I ll be replacing the old phpBB2 with phpBB3 files,
the url domain/sitemap.php ( submitted to google, yahoo and msn) works fine for phpBB3 premod
But domain.com/rss.php gives me a 404 error for the new installation even after enabling the GYM1x option. This url domain.com/rss.php is been used in Feed Burder, google sitemap, yahoo ..... etc....
What am i supposed to do now? create a file named "rss.php" and add a redirect to the new url or what?
Thanks |

Did you implemented the extra rewriterules needed for the GYM1X redirections as explained in the install ?
The rss.php file does not need to be here. |
