phpBB3 really is a hot topic

By the way, the 0.4.0RC1 mod rewrite will work with phpBB3.0.RC5, the only thing to change is a single FIND in the install.

In search.php, you should now FIND :

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#

         $view_topic_url = append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}viewtopic.$phpEx", "f=$u_forum_id&t=$result_topic_id" . (($u_hilit) ? "&hilit=$u_hilit" : ''));

Instead of :

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#

         $view_topic_url = append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}viewtopic.$phpEx", "f=$u_forum_id&t=$result_topic_id&hilit=$u_hilit");

is there any way to upgrade from RC3 to RC5 without uninstall/install all mods again?!
I have phpBB RC3 forum with 9 installed Mods and some style modification

@mhmdkhamis

The simple mod rewrite does not perform this particular code change in search.php, so do not bother, it should be installed the same way it did on RC4.

@spy
Well, that's the kind of problem you may have to deal with when using RC releases.
The phpBB SEO team does provide an update procedure for phpBB3 mods, but phpBB itself does not, so I guess you're going to have to reinstall all your mods again. Because I'm pretty sure it will be less pain than 1) compare all phpBB updated files and update them manually and 2) update the mods.

We'll soon be releasing a premodded, I guess it will help out, but this is the most we can do, I myself reinstall all the seo mod upon each phpBB3 release on my test boards for now.

thanks dcz

any way i will wait the next RC (i think it will be soon)and update from RC4 to GOLD .

but if i update now to rc5 any problem with seo compatible mods?

[Lubor]

and my problem?

[dcz]

and my problem?

Well, it just looks like you overwritten the .htaccess while uploading the new phpBB3 files, since there is one in the package.

You just need to keep your old one.

@mhmdkhamis
Looks like I answered to this one, you can upgrade to RC5.
