OK, thanks for the info, I misinterpreted that. I don't get an 500 error when trying to open the phpbb_cache.php of my board in a browser, just a blank screen by the way.

Yeah, same here. There may be something else going on with his permission system.

Nope, they're not there. What should they look like?

Here's phpbb_cache.php.current:

Code: Select all

<?php
/**
* phpBB_SEO Class
* www.phpBB-SEO.com
* @package Advanced phpBB3 SEO mod Rewrite
*/
if (!defined('IN_PHPBB')) {
   exit;
}
$this->cache_config['settings'] = array ( 'url_rewrite' => true, 'modrtype' => 3, 'sql_rewrite' => true, 'profile_inj' => true, 'profile_vfolder' => false, 'profile_noids' => false, 'rewrite_usermsg' => true, 'rewrite_files' => false, 'rem_sid' => false, 'rem_hilit' => true, 'rem_small_words' => true, 'virtual_folder' => true, 'cache_layer' => true, 'rem_ids' => false, 'copyrights' => array ( 'img' => false, 'txt' => '', 'title' => '', ), );
$this->cache_config['forum'] = array ( 1 => 'law-f1', 2 => 'patents-f2', 3 => 'copyrights-f3', 4 => 'trademarks-f4', 6 => 'careers-f6', 5 => 'uspto-f5', 7 => 'patent-agent-attorney-f7', );
?>

and here's phpbb_cache.php.old:

Code: Select all

<?php
/**
* phpBB_SEO Class
* www.phpBB-SEO.com
* @package Advanced phpBB3 SEO mod Rewrite
*/
if (!defined('IN_PHPBB')) {
   exit;
}
$this->cache_config['settings'] = array ( 'url_rewrite' => true, 'modrtype' => 3, 'sql_rewrite' => true, 'profile_inj' => true, 'profile_vfolder' => false, 'profile_noids' => false, 'rewrite_usermsg' => true, 'rewrite_files' => false, 'rem_sid' => false, 'rem_hilit' => true, 'rem_small_words' => true, 'virtual_folder' => true, 'cache_layer' => true, 'rem_ids' => false, 'copyrights' => array ( 'img' => false, 'txt' => '', 'title' => '', ), );
$this->cache_config['forum'] = array ( 1 => 'law-f1', 2 => 'patents-f2', 3 => 'copyrights-f3', 4 => 'trademarks-f4', 6 => 'careers-f6', 5 => 'uspto-f5', 7 => 'patent-agent-attorney-f7', );
?>

Thanks for the help, BTW.

You probably don't have see hidden files turned on in your ftp client.

You're welcome! Glad to help.

Well, I can see .htaccess files in other directories, where they appear slightly grayed, so I don't think that's the problem. (I'm using WinSCP as my client.)

Oh. Hmm. I think in order to help better with this I would need a vanilla board with just ultimate seo url installed. My folder has an .htaccess and an .htaccess.current, but I've done a ton of mods and changes to it since I started off with the premod. I have always used the premod and had excellent results.

Both are true and permissions are correct.

coyote wrote:From this error you posted, Fatal error: Call to a member function set_url() on a non-object in [my webroot]/phpbb_seo/sync_url.php on line 78, it sounds like one of your forum or topic id's is missing, or it doesn't like what you named one of the topics, but that's a guess. I'm still learning PHP.

Based on coyote's guess using the Support Tool Kit option -> Fix Left/Right ID's might be worth a shot. It checks and if necessary repairs the tree structure of forums and modules.

Thanks, Stephen. FYI, I don't have this problem anymore after installing premod 3.0.10, but now I have the problem described in the Jan. 20, 2012 post to this thread:

My Administrator Control Panel > PHPBB SEO tab > Extended config page is missing the Page titles section (and perhaps other sections) ... [and] the Related topics section is displayed by what appears to be a PHP constant name, RELATED_TOPICS ...

In addition to the problems above, the header to any "related topics" section on a topic page is rendered as { RELATED_TOPICS }. I'm not sure why, but I'm guessing it's a related issue. See, e.g., this topic (at the bottom of the page).

Do you also have this problem when using prosilver / subsilver2? Did you apply all necessary code changes to the eTech style, e.g.:

Code: Select all

Yes, it's the same in prosilver, and yes, I've made all the changes to eTech that were required of subsilver2 (eTech being based on subsilver2).

Open /language/en/common.php - Search for ?> - Does the code above look like this:

That was the problem. I'm using the en-us language pack as default. When I imported the code you pointed out from the en language pack into the en-us language pack's common.php, it fixed the problems. Thanks!
