Title : phpBB SEO Premod
Author : dcz / www.phpbb-seo.com
Description : The phpBB SEO Premod is a fully Search Engine Optimization friendly premodded version of phpBB3.
Version : phpBB3.0.1
Installation Level : As easy as phpBB3.
Installation Time : 15 minutes.
Author's Notes :
This mod is not really a mod. It's a full install package of a premodded phpBB3 forum Optimized for Search Engines.
Before you do anything :
Please read carefully this post, you will save time and will not risk to jeopardise your web-site's PageRanking.
It describe the phpBB2 mod rewrites, but this should help out to understand better anyway and to elect the best URL rewriting standard for your forum.
Reading this versions announcement thread is a well a good thing to start with.
Activating the URL rewriting requires Apache Server with mod_Rewrite module loaded, or IIS server running isapi_rewrite.
Features :
You should read the release threads of every mods installed to find out more about them.
- phpBB SEO mod rewrites
This Premod will allow you to choose among the following URL rewriting standards in phpBB ACP :
- Advanced phpBB3 SEO mod rewrite
Advanced URL rewriting for phpBB3 URLs, injecting forums and topic titles in their URLs, each URL being rewritten once, no matter the number of links using it on the page.
The mod will allow you to dissociate forum titles from their URLs, you will be able to choose the keywords used in your forums URLs using a friendly interface.
The Advanced mod is the "harder" to deal with, it implies a good topic title moderation to really be better than the Mixed one.
This feature requires running Apache server with mod_rewrite module loaded, or IIS server running isapi_rewrite.
- Mixed phpBB3 SEO mod rewrite
Mixed URL rewriting for phpBB3 URLs, injecting forums titles in their URLs but keeping a static rewriting for topics.
Each URL is rewritten once, no matter the number of links using it on the page.
The mod will allow you to dissociate forum titles from their URLs, you will be able to choose the keywords used in your forums URLs using a friendly interface.
The Mixed mod is recommended in most cases, the better easy to deal with / SEO performance ratio of the three standards.
This feature requires running Apache server with mod_rewrite module loaded, or IIS server running isapi_rewrite.
- Simple phpBB3 SEO mod rewrite
Simple URL rewriting for phpBB3 URLs, static URL rewriting.
Each URL is rewritten once, no matter the number of links using it on the page.
It's the simplest one, recommended for 100% non Latin char-set forums.
This feature requires running Apache server with mod_rewrite module loaded, or IIS server running isapi_rewrite.
- phpBB3 SEO Zero duplicate
This feature will HTTP 301 redirect almost (100% in strict mode) all possible dupes in phpBB forums.
It's simple and efficient. It does not add any SQL Query.
Please note : It is very important that you make sure the proper headers are sent.
Please read the release thread to learn how to perform the check.
Example :
The zero duplicate in itself is enhancing phpBB's security since it will make malicious variable injections a lot harder if not impossible in strict mode on the supported files.
- phpBB3 SEO No duplicate
This feature will get rid of post URLs on phpBB3 Index, forums, and topics and use topic url instead, for the same purpose, but not using duplicate URLs.
Post URLs will now be composed of the topic URL they are posted in, on the correct page, with the html anchor #pxx as a suffix.
It does not add any SQL, just a LEFT JOIN on a query already being performed, this could still mean a bit more work but should not be a problem for server load.
You can turn it on / off in phpBB's ACP.
- phpBB3 SEO Dynamic Meta tags
This feature will add dynamic meta tags build out with the ending page's content.
It's simple and efficient. It will add specific meta tags to forums and the index without adding any SQL Query.
A single SQL query is added in viewtopic.php, to grab the first post's most used words. This allow for a better overall relevancy of meta keywords.
The first post of every topic pages is used to build the meta description. BBcodes tags are stripped off as well as smilies.
- phpBB3 SEO Optimal titles
This mod will optimize phpBB pages titles.
By Default, page titles contain many useless information, such as "View Forum" or "View topic".
This mod will better target words to use in titles, using topics, and forums titles.
In addition, this mod will add the page's number in page title, which allow for a lot better pagination indexing. As two pages with the same title are hard to keep in SEPRS.
All this without any SQL queries.
Results talks :
Page 2, Page 3, Page 4, Page 5, Page 6, Page 7, Page 8, Page 9, Page 10, Page 11, Page 12, Page 13, Page 14, Page 15, Page 16, Page 17, Page 18, Page 19, Page 20, Page 21, Page 22 ...
A must, whatever your SEO strategy.
- robots.txt
A sample robots.txt is provided in the package to make sure no useless content is taken into account by the Search Engines.
Warning :
In case you are migrating from a previous unrewritten phpBB version, wait couple month after you activate the zero duplicate mod before you implement the robots.txt. In such case we want to redirect first and then drop useless content.
Languages :
Styles :
Prosilver and SubSilver2 are included in this Package

Important
We apologize for this, but for the third time, a last bug fix was just added to all the 3.0.1 packages, we did not renumber the version.
For those who would already have installed (before this message was posted : 2008/05/16 9:04 am GMT) or updated the 3.0.1 premod, the first bug breaks the merge forum in MCP, the second eventually display an error on profile pages (only a rare occurrence) and the last one was loosing pagination on post redirection, the fix are very easy.
You can either re-download the archive and overwrite the phpbb_seo/phpbb_seo_class.php, includes/function_display.php and viewtopic.php files, or manually edit them, the unique change in phpbb_seo/phpbb_seo_class.php is :
Find :
| Code: | | $this->url = $this->url_in = $url = str_replace('?&', '&', $url); |
Replace with :
| Code: | | $this->url = $this->url_in = $url = str_replace('?&', '?', $url); |
For includes/function_display.php, just make sure you have the correct code for the display_user_activity() function, the code between :
| Code: | function display_user_activity(&$userdata)
{ |
and :
| Code: | 'S_SHOW_ACTIVITY' => true)
);
} |
There are five spots surrounded by :
and :
to check in case you need this to be manually done.
Otherwise, overwrite the file is safe.
In viewtopic.php, the unique code change is :
Find :
| Code: | | 'start' => array('val' => $phpbb_seo->seo_opt['zero_dupe']['start'], 'keep' => true), |
Replace with :
| Code: | | 'start' => array('val' => $phpbb_seo->seo_opt['zero_dupe']['start'], 'keep' => true, 'force' => true), |
Again we apologize about this, and wish you all a nice update  |
