Does anyone have any suggestions?

Sorry I missed this one, and actually, you don't need to install the guest session mod as you are using CH (which already takes care about this or should).

So do not bother with this, keep the SID part unchanged ;

Thank you, now remember I'm using a older version of CH 2.1.1. I don't know if the older versions take care of the guest session. I guess I'll have to find out, but I did notice before installing the SID MOD, I did have SIDs for guests.

The mod should get rid of SIDs for guest anyway, I never tested it with CH 2.11, worth a try, but you'd better do some local testings before, or better, upgrade Wink

Ok, it appears that I got the MOD to work, the only thing I've noticed is the index still reads index.php instead of index.html. I also noticed the files to edit read index.php, but I don't see that file to edit

Good

I think the best her would be to get totally rid of index.php in our URLs.

Amir started a thread about this, the suggested code is for now needing the zero duplicate code, which is not ready for CH yet, but I could send your there the trick to achieve this particular redirection without Wink

That would be great if you could send me the trick to achieve this. Smile

Or does it really make a difference SEO wise if the index reads index.php instead of not displaying index.php?

Hello dcz

!

I'm reading the english board and I saw this, that could answer to a question I post in the french board :

Well, the french speaking forum was not out-dated : http://www.phpbb-seo.com/forums/mod-rewrite-phpbb/phpbb-seo-mod-rewrite-simple-vt46.html#1351 Wink

Anyway, great to read your English Very Happy

There is no simple way (without adding SQL) to take care of those, but the zero duplicate is : http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=303&view=next

If you prefer, you can add a switch in you tpl file as well to get rid of the empty prev/next link :
Just put the html part in viewtopic_body.tpl in between :

ok dcz, I'm really stumped here. You did help me get this working, but it was on my test site. Now I'm having problems installing this mod on my live board (different host).

What I've noticed is if I insert this line into the .htaccess I get a 500 error

No, it's okay to work without the :

I have simple mod rewrite. Now I would like to make a category in the forum. Can I do that just like that - or do I have to update something? Because I can understand there is a simple mod rewrite Category edition !?!

EDIT: I done it and it seemes fine. So the category hierachy mod is for forums within forums...?

dcz

Exactly

All phpBB function do work with the phpBB SEO mod rewrite, you can add categories forum and topics as you want.

As you find out, the special edition is meant for he categories hierarchy mod, which is actually allowing multi-level sub forums.
It's almost a phpBB fork since most of it is changed with this mod, so I would only recommend it if you need more than one sub forum level. Otherwise it would be a lot easier to deal with the simple sub forum mods.
