PhpBB SEO: Upgrade from Simple to Intermediate

[GA_]

Is there anyway to do this without deinstalling "Simple". I would like to just upgrade without messing my forums up. Is there a Simple to Intermediate upgrade package that I can download? Any help is appreciated.

I'm sorry I would like to upgrade to the mixed. any help is appreciated.

The mixed mod rewrite will only add some more code in phpBB files, so you can do as if you install it over the simple one, you'll only find most of the code already there, and few lines that are not exactly the same.
When the code is not the same, just overwrite the whole block, if not, just add what not there. Then overwrite the phpbb_seo_class.php file (or merge it if you implemented some custom settings in there) and you'll be done, since the acp and the languages files are the same.
An easy way to do this would be to use winmerge to compare the premodded files from the mixed package with the one you have.

In addition, you'd need to prepare you .htaccess to handle the custom redirected implied by the upgrade.

So, my advice is, set up a local test server with your online files, do the code update, check that everything works, and set up you url rewriting standard.
Once done, post here both your new mixed and old simple .htaccess, and I'll help you for the redirection. This way, you'll be able to migrate in good conditions.

I appreciate your help.... what a headache though
i got everything working. you need some upgrade packages my friend so people won't have to reinstall everyline of code like i just did

Everything is working great. My only concern is is that there seems to be a feature that allows a topic title to be a URL but I can't implement it? How would I do so?

My forum titles are now urls and I can pretty much name them to whatever name I like. I would like to do forum topic titles the same.

Example:
User X creates a topic titled "I love apples"... PhpBB SEO now creates a URL to that post -www.whatever.com/forums/general-discussion-f1/i-like-apples.html
