What mod rewrite use this forum?

Postby Sultani » Tue Oct 30, 2007 1:08 am

Hi there, i have looking trough the 3 optioon for mod rewrite, but i dint see any that will make the links like i have on my phpbb2 forum...

Whats happen is that im about to migrate to phpbb3, and i dont want to loose my Pr, so de mod rewrite must make the urls like the old one:
new-event-cooming-soon-vt1972.html

But, i noticed that this forum, use the same format of my phpbb2 forum.

I was thinking to install the mixed mod rewrite, but i dont know if will work with what i said above


Edit:
Well i installed mod rewrite mixed but when i go to acp ---> Forum url management, and change the links the changes dont make effect.

I want the links this way:
general-discussion-vf1.html :arrow: View Forum
general-sites-vt2081.html :arrow: View Topic

But they appear this way:
general-discussion-vf1-f1.html :arrow: View Forum
topic1999.html :arrow: View Topic

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Well, the mixed mod rewrite will not inject topic title in url, so if you want to keep you current rewriting, you should install the advanced version ( or the premod set up in advanced mod)

Then to keep the exact same url, you will have to keep virtual folder on "no", as well as the forum id removing (must be on "no").
Then, you'll need to edit the delimiters in phpbb_seo_class.php :

Code: Select all
$this->seo_delim = array( 'forum' => '-f', 'topic' => '-t', 'user' => '-u', 'start' => '-');


Should be replaced with :
Code: Select all
$this->seo_delim = array( 'forum' => '-vf', 'topic' => '-vt', 'user' => '-u', 'start' => '-');


Before you generate you .htaccess. and everything will work as expected.

Now, you could still consider the conversion to phpBB3 as a great opportunity to enhance you urls. It's not risky with the zero duplicate since you'll be able to HTTP 301 redirect every URLs. Of course, PR would have to be update upon the next Google dance, but this should not affect your SERPs and referrals, example of massive URL migrating.
All this because the phpBB3 mod rewrite are far more advanced than the phpBB2 ones. You may want to test the premod to fully test the features before you proceed ;)

I will try then the advanced mod, i was about to install that, but i saw to much warnings about that mod, so i choose the mixed.

Well you can install as many templates as you want with the premod too. You'll have to mod them a bit, but not more than if you had installed the mod separately.

Required edits for the premod's template are posted in this thread.

I installed the premodded forum, and works like a charm!

I have installed the GYM sitemaps aka google (last version) on my phpbb2, and i would like to install it on phpbb3, but i couldn find it...

Is there a version for phpbb3?

Thanks
