phpBB3 mod Rewrite : virtual root problem

SeO wrote:

There is no real point to use the virtual root option if you do not plan to use another application together with phpBB. If so, you'd better install it in the root directory directly.

For real, why don't you install phpBB in the domain's root (example.com/), the virtual root option really is handy for when you do not have the choice and must install phpBB in a sub directory (for example if wordpress ...

phpBB3 mod Rewrite : Common installation oversights

If you see ACP_CAT_PHPBB_SEO and not phpBB SEO in the ACP, it means that you did not copy the language/en/acp/phpbb_seo.php file in all your language packs, we only provide with English and french so far, but you still need as always a language file, even not translated, for each language pack.

Then, you need to activate url rewriting in the acp (firt option of the url rewriting settings).

I'm not a Vietnamese specialist, but from what I see on your image, it looks like your characters are close to the Latin ones, but are using many accents.

The format_url method is indeed the one to deaccentuate the accentuated chars which have an html entity references, the numerical one cannot be all handled easily, but we did put together a way to do it, in case it still makes sens to deaccentuate vietnamese characters, ...

phpBB SEO Premod : Page x out of y doesnt work?

Here is a fix that will work in all case, we need to use two set of rewriterules in this case :
Replace :

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_-]+)(-([0-9]+))?\.html$ /viewforum.php?forum_uri=$1&start=$3 [QSA,L,NC]

with :

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_-]+)(-([0-9]+))\.html$ /viewforum.php?forum_uri=$1&start=$3 [QSA,L,NC]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

phpbb3 search_ignore_words.php and Dynamic Meta Tags

phpBB3 SEO MODS : phpbb3 search_ignore_words.php and Dynamic Meta Tags

No, the mod does not change the phpBB DB besides adding an entry in the acp module list for the phpBB SEO acp.

So you need to rebuild search table every time you change the search_ignore_words.php.

Then, words listed there should not show up in the topic metas, the only one to play with these exclusions.

Migration from phpBB2 SEO URLV2 to SEO phpBB3 advanced

Advanced SEO URL : Migration from phpBB2 SEO URLV2 to SEO phpBB3 advanced

Yes SEO url V2 is pretty close to our URl rewritting standard, so the redirecting should be handled properly without doing anything for forums and topics, but, If I recall well, it's as well building pretty complex urls for other pages and may use a slightly different pagination standard. Post url may as well differ.

So, to do the migrating without trouble, you need to make sure about this, this idea is that you'll need ...

How to solve problem with post URLs?

phpBB3 Forum : How to solve problem with post URLs?

mm, this is indeed problematic. Because first, title injection on post urls make it impossible to disallow them properly though the robots.txt (that's why our mod do not inject post titles and use postxx.html instead) and then it's even worst because the mod does use the post title and not the topic one to build post urls.

This increases confusion for SEs IMHO.
