hi all.

I'm new here


I want to get my forum indexed in google and I notesed that all sites that

use the seo mod have a good trafic.

but I really don't know what mod to use or even what site map

I'm using a phpbb 3.0.4

this is the site

www.friend-s.tk


sorry for my questions but as I said I'm new

I think that a good way to start would be to install our SEO premod on a local / test server to try it.

Since your forum does not seems to use any Latin characters, the simple mod rewrite would be the one to use, but you could use the mixed one with virtual folder as well since you could use Latin characters for each personalized forum url and display it in topic urls :

Code: Select all

forum-url/topicxx.html

Then, after these test would have helped you to better understand the possibilities, you could either go for the standalone installs or for the premod.
The premod is good to use because we provide update packages for both phpBB and our SEO mod in it.

In all cases, you'll need to install / activate the zero duplicate mod with post redirection at least set to "guests" and wait at least two month after the zero dupe activation before you implement the robots.txt (very important).

Installing the premod over a pre-existing phpBB install is pretty easy if you do not have to many mods installed already :

ok i did what you said

my mistake was that i lost all the topic and members

because I changed all my site folders with the mod folders and also the config file that I was supposed not to replace

I made the site again with the permod mod


but with a different table

like the old was

phpbb-

the new is

phpbb1

so is there is any way I can get the old forum with the mod back?

and also i noteced there is a url writing type

when I tried them i couldn't access any topic

do i have to activate these url eriting or no

and is every thing now ok?

You can edit your current config.php to match the old DB user db and table prefix, it will work as long as it was running the same version as the premod, otherwise you'll have to run the install/database_update.php script from the latest update package.

Then, you'll need to run the mod rewrite and GYM 's installer as well as the no duplicate query :

Code: Select all

ALTER TABLE `phpbb_topics` ADD INDEX ( `topic_last_post_id` );

with proper table prefix, and you'll be done

ok i got the old forum back with changing the tables

what i really don't get is the code you wrote

but i'll try to figure it out

thanks

It's a query to run in phpmyadmin for example, making sure you use the proper table prefix (phpbb_) in it. It will add an extra index on the topic table to make the topic title JOIN on index added by the no dupe as fast as possible.
