Hi. I have successfully updated from Advanced seo url Rewrite 0.4.8 to Ultimate Seo Rewrite 0.6.0. Now I'd like to add the Gallery seo patch, but I notice there are only two versions of the .htaccess in the install instructions, for if your phpbb installation is in your root domain or in a folder. How about if your phpbb and your .htaccess is in a folder? How do I format my .htaccess rules then?

The ACP module has this under "more options" for the Forum rules, but I'm going to need guidance on how to format my galley rewrite rules with my .htaccess at this location.

Thanks.

Use the first one.

Code: Select all

If your forum isn't in /phpbb/ then you will need to change all the instances of phpbb to the name of your forums folder. For instance, if your phpBB3 is in /forum/ you would change the first line from

Code: Select all

# ALBUM INDEX
RewriteRule ^phpbb/gallery/album.html$ /phpbb/gallery/index.php [QSA,L,NC]

to

Code: Select all

# ALBUM INDEX
RewriteRule ^forum/gallery/album.html$ /forum/gallery/index.php [QSA,L,NC]

and continue doing the same to all the lines, replacing phpbb with your proper folders name.

Let us know if you need any more help.

Typo

Ok, I did that, and its rewriting the gallery index page right, but the thumbnail links are broken images, and when you click on the album page or image page links, it rewrites the url, but it leads to a not found on this server error.

The funny thing is, I tried both ways, as well as without any album rules in the .htaccess file just to see what would change, completely deleting my cache each time, and each time the result was exactly the same.

Basically, you just need to add the gallery rewriterules after the phpBB ones and reproduce the same slashes and path that you see on phpBB rewriterules.
