Thanks to everyone for creating this mod. It looks like it was a lot of hard work.
I've installed the phpbb3 SEO premod. The install appeared to go just fine, but I have noticed that the forum and topic IDs are still appearing even though I believe I have disabled this. I have also tried clearing cache.
Here is my current .htaccess:
| Code: | # This line was here originally
php_flag short_open_tag off
# Everything below this line is from PHPBB_SEO
# Lines That should already be in your .htacess
<Files "config.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
<Files "common.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
# You may need to un-comment the following line
# Options +FollowSymlinks
# REMEBER YOU ONLY NEED TO STARD MOD REWRITE ONCE
RewriteEngine On
# REWRITE BASE

Is there anything here that I need to do differently. Aside from this, the SEO mod seems to be working (as far as I am able to tell).
Thanks! |

I've found that if I hit "submit" from "Forum URL Management," it removes the forum IDs (but not the topics).
However, now 1 out of 4 forums no longer loads successfully, even if I put in the exact URL (including the forum ID). |

When you activate the forum ID removing, Id will actually be taken off the forum's urls that are in the cache.
So you need to configure all you forum custom urls before you won't see them any more, and don't worry, the zero duplicate will HTTP 301 the url with IDs to the one without. But, it won't be the case if you later change a forum url without id. So you need to carefully choose your forum urls, take your time.
It's of course still possible to implement custom redirection for such cases, but it can only be done on a per case basis.
Then, there is no topic id removing.

| Thanks. I tried completely deleting and recreating the affected forum with the same name. It still is unable to find it. If I remove the cache entry for this forum, it works again (albeit, with the forum id). I wonder what it could be about this forum that it doesn't like. |

How, you mean this only concerns one forum ?
Could be because of a duplicate one (another forum using the same url), or because the url you set up ends with -xx where xx are numbers. Or even because you used the forum static default ("forum" by default) or the announce virtual forum static default (for announces/topic-title-txx.html in virtual folder mode, default is "announces").

the forum is called "music"
Are there any known problems with forums of this name? There are no other forums of this name on the board. |

Ah HA.
I turns out that I had a file sitting in the domain root called "music"
I think this was confusing the SEO mode.
Thanks for your help! |
