If anyone is using the board3 portal and phpbb-seo, here is what I did to get the links rewritten. This is for phpbb-seo ultimate v0.6.0 and board3 v1.0.3. Other version of board3 will most likely work but other versions of the seo mod will most likely NOT.

With the latest phpbb-seo, many of the portal links are already rewritten by default, including member names, forum names, forum index etc. but the topics are not. First we will rewrite the news module's topics.

OPEN portal/block/news.php:

FIND (2 Times):

Code: Select all

$forum_id = $fetch_news[$i]['forum_id'];
$topic_id = $fetch_news[$i]['topic_id'];

ADD AFTER:

Code: Select all

// www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
       if ($fetch_news[$i]['topic_type'] == POST_GLOBAL || !empty($phpbb_seo->seo_url['forum'][$fetch_news[$i]['forum_id']])) {
         $phpbb_seo->prepare_iurl($fetch_news[$i], 'topic', $fetch_news[$i]['topic_type'] == POST_GLOBAL ? $phpbb_seo->seo_static['global_announce'] : $phpbb_seo->seo_url['forum'][$fetch_news[$i]['forum_id']]);
      }
         // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END

To reiterate, you will find the above lines TWICE and must add the code after each occurence.

Now on to the announcements.

OPEN portal/block/announcements.php:

FIND (2 Times):

Code: Select all

$forum_id = $fetch_news[$i]['forum_id'];
             $topic_id = $fetch_news[$i]['topic_id'];

ADD AFTER:

Code: Select all

// www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
       if ($fetch_news[$i]['topic_type'] == POST_GLOBAL || !empty($phpbb_seo->seo_url['forum'][$fetch_news[$i]['forum_id']])) {
         $phpbb_seo->prepare_iurl($fetch_news[$i], 'topic', $fetch_news[$i]['topic_type'] == POST_GLOBAL ? $phpbb_seo->seo_static['global_announce'] : $phpbb_seo->seo_url['forum'][$fetch_news[$i]['forum_id']]);
      }
         // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END

Now we want to rewrite the urls of the recent topics block.

OPEN portal/block/recent.php:

FIND (3 Times):

Code: Select all

$sql = 'SELECT topic_title, forum_id, topic_id

REPLACE WITH:

Code: Select all

$sql = 'SELECT topic_title, forum_id, topic_id, topic_type

FIND (3 Times):

Code: Select all

if ( ($auth->acl_get('f_read', $row['forum_id'])) || ($row['forum_id'] == '0') )
   {

ADD AFTER:

Code: Select all

// www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
       if ($row['topic_type'] == POST_GLOBAL || !empty($phpbb_seo->seo_url['forum'][$row['forum_id']])) {
         $phpbb_seo->prepare_iurl($row, 'topic', $row['topic_type'] == POST_GLOBAL ? $phpbb_seo->seo_static['global_announce'] : $phpbb_seo->seo_url['forum'][$row['forum_id']]);
      }
         // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END

Now the final thing is that the group links aren't rewritten in the who is online section. To fix that...

OPEN portal/block/whois_online.php:

FIND:

Code: Select all

$colour_text = ($row['group_colour']) ? ' style="color:#' . $row['group_colour'] . '"' : '';

ADD BEFORE:

Code: Select all

// www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
         $phpbb_seo->prepare_url('group', $row['group_name'], $row['group_id']);
         // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END

That should do it. I hope you guys find this useful. Thanks again to dcz for all the help he's given me with this great mod.

EDIT: Seems I missed a topic where dcz already took care of this. See here for more info.

Nice work

Too bad it was mainly done already, but you added group rewriting in viewonline block, please add this on to the board3 thread, I'm sure it will please some
