Can I change the phpBB SEO URls to randomdomain.com/intro/random-topic
instead of randomdomain.com/intro/randomtopic.html

You can use '/' as topic url suffix instead of '.html' as explained in the install file (DIY part).

I can't find any documentation on how to remove suffixs from URLs, and I've been searching here for two days. I see to uncomment lines in the setup_phpbb_seo.php file, but I can't find instructions on how to change the htaccess to make it work. I also found var in the phpbb_seo_class.php file that adds ".html" to everything. Are there straightforward instructions on how to remove .html and .php from URLs--like an htaccess rewrite URL manual for dummies?

I figured it out. I added the following to my setup_phpbb_seo.php file:

Code: Select all

                        $this->seo_ext['forum'] = '/';
         $this->seo_ext['topic'] = '/';
                        $this->seo_ext['resources'] = '/';
         $this->seo_ext['member'] = '/';
                        $this->seo_ext['group'] = '/';
         $this->seo_ext['post'] = '/';
                        $this->seo_ext['active-topics'] = '/';
         $this->seo_ext['unanswered'] = '/';
                        $this->seo_ext['newposts'] = '/';
                        $this->seo_ext['unreadposts'] = '/';
         $this->seo_ext['the-team'] = '/';

Then I replaced all "\.html" with forward slashes in the htaccess file. Hope that helps others.
