News of phpBB2 Forum

The name we started with was suitable but another site who appears very upset with the competition decided to manipulate it's posts so that anyone searching Google for our site was ...

Hello,
I installed and heavily modified advanced mod rewrite for phpbb2.

But now i have question for "zero duplicate" mod (below):
Zero Duplicate V 0.2.2

I mean, why i need this? Can't users use both viewforum.php?f=6 or /forumname/ when they want this or this (not rewrited or rewrited)? For google one way would be blocked anyway in robots.txt (viewtopic* viewforum* etc.). So why it "is a must"?
Any important downsides which i dont know of?

Dear All,

I have a domain name with me with windows hosting. I am able to install PHPBB myself but was having problems in installing PHPBBSEO-PreMod.

Since its a new domain, I need the following:-
1. Install PHPBB along with PHPBBSEO-PreMod Advanced.
2. Google Adsense Integration Module installation.
3. Sitemap Module Integration.
4. Minor Configuration changes and few small mod installations.

I am ready to pay a reasonable amount for the same.
For an expert the task is quite simple and can be finished quite soon.

Anyone capable enough can call me at 099 025 25 423 or mail me ...

I am trying to configure my phpBB installation to find the topic start number from the postid. This currently works with the following code:

The SQL:

$join_sql = ( empty($post_id) ) ? "t.topic_id = $topic_id" : "p.post_id = $post_id AND t.topic_id = p.topic_id AND p2.topic_id = p.topic_id AND p2.post_id <= $post_id";
$count_sql = ( empty($post_id) ) ? '' : ", COUNT(p2.post_id) AS prev_posts";

$order_sql = ( empty($post_id) ) ? '' : "GROUP BY p.post_id, t.topic_id, t.topic_title, t.topic_status, t.topic_replies, ...
