I want to use a script similar to this:
http://wiki.phpbb.com/Practical.Display ... rnal_pages

To show my latest topics somewhere else.
How can I make sure they use the correct URLs?
I'm using the Advanced mode.

Thanks

Nathan

For all url rewriting types, the solution will be to add :

Code: Select all

        // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
        if (!empty($topics_row['topic_url'])) {
            $phpbb_seo->prepare_iurl($topics_row, 'topic', '');
        } else {
            if ($phpbb_seo->modrtype > 2) {
                $topics_row['topic_title'] = censor_text($topics_row['topic_title']);
            }
            $cur_forum_id = (int) $topics_row['forum_id'];
            $parent_forum = $topics_row['topic_type'] == POST_GLOBAL ? $phpbb_seo->seo_static['global_announce'] : (!empty($phpbb_seo->seo_url['forum'][$cur_forum_id]) ? $phpbb_seo->seo_url['forum'][$cur_forum_id] : false);
            if ($parent_forum) {
                $phpbb_seo->prepare_iurl($topics_row, 'topic', $parent_forum);
            }
        }
        // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END   

After :

Code: Select all

      while( $topics_row = $db->sql_fetchrow($topics_result) )
      { 

for the topic list way, or :

Code: Select all

        // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
        if (!empty($posts_row['topic_url'])) {
            $phpbb_seo->prepare_iurl($posts_row, 'topic', '');
        } else {
            if ($phpbb_seo->modrtype > 2) {
                $posts_row['topic_title'] = censor_text($posts_row['topic_title']);
            }
            $cur_forum_id = (int) $posts_row['forum_id'];
            $parent_forum = $posts_row['topic_type'] == POST_GLOBAL ? $phpbb_seo->seo_static['global_announce'] : (!empty($phpbb_seo->seo_url['forum'][$cur_forum_id]) ? $phpbb_seo->seo_url['forum'][$cur_forum_id] : false);
            if ($parent_forum) {
                $phpbb_seo->prepare_iurl($posts_row, 'topic', $parent_forum);
            }
        }
        // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END   

After :

Code: Select all

      while( $posts_row = $db->sql_fetchrow($posts_result) )
      { 

if you'll be using the post display way.

Note that this will work as is if you are using the last version of the script form the phpBB wiki, here is the change history I just performed (since it was supposed to be like this in phpBB) :http://wiki.phpbb.com/index.php?title=Displaying_posts_and_topics_on_external_pages&diff=4410&oldid=4407

What's the proper way of initializing $phpbb_seo? If it's not properly initialized in the external PhP script, one gets the error

Fatal error: Call to a member function prepare_iurl() on a non-object in index.php on line 415, which is

Code: Select all

              if (!empty($last_topics_row['topic_url'])) {
                  $phpbb_seo->prepare_iurl($last_topics_row, 'topic', '');



Thanks.

Answered my own question, since I am writing some functions inside a class, I had to use

Code: Select all

   global $phpbb_seo;


This might be useful for anyone else coding additional pages or mods that use classes and functions as opposed to doing everything in the main page script.

Thanks a lot for doing this! My only question is the gzip. I'm trying to use this on an external page that has gzip turned on. As it is I get a warning

"Warning: ob_start() [ref.outcontrol]: output handler 'ob_gzhandler' cannot be used twice in" etc
