Reading post in this forums, and making some test, I solve this:
Convert phpbb2 forum with seo mod of WebMedic
To phpbb3 with Advanced SEO URL


Activated:
Forum URL caching: yes
Forum ID Removing: yes

in control panel, In Forum URL Management, added:
vfx (x corresponding to the number I had before in each FORUM)



With This, my FORUMS urls where the same than before

But topics urls where:
old mod:
any-title-vtxxx.html
adv.mod:
any-title-txxx.html

So it was solved with:


Desactivated:
Forum URL caching: no
Forum ID Removing: no


Rebuilded the new .htaccess

Replace code in
phpbb_seo/phpbb_seo_class.php

Code: Select all

      $this->seo_delim = array( 'forum' => '-f', 'topic' => '-t',

with :

Code: Select all

      $this->seo_delim = array( 'forum' => '-vf', 'topic' => '-vt',

in .htaccess

RewriteRule ^post([0-9]+)\.html$ viewtopic.php?p=$1 [QSA,L,NC]

with :

RewriteRule ^(post|[a-z0-9_-]*-vp)([0-9]+)\.html$ viewtopic.php?p=$2 [QSA,L,NC]

And all works fine
Even when I desactivated Forum URL caching an Forum ID Removing, the forums keeped the vfx


Thanks

yes, keeping the same urls as before can be a solution, but you could as well take this occasion to end up with even better urls.
It's not hard to redirect all urls properly and phpBB3 mod rewrite as more possibilities than the phpBB2 mod rewrites.

It's of course as you wish, but it's a good occasion to wonder about this.
