Where and/or how can in add custom rewrites (impressum.php -> impressum.html, arcade.php -> /spielhalle/arcade.html, ppshop.php -> /boardshop/shop.html, ...)?

If only for a page, the easiest would be just to hard code these while they are passing through append_sid(), since chances are great that you do it once and for all, while passing the link to the template.

Then, add the corresponding rewriterule for each new case :

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^impressum\.html$ /impressum.php [QSA,L,NC]

Or you can easily add some custom rewriting in phpbb_seo/includes/setup_phpbb_seo.php, the most basic example with ppshop.php would be to add :

Code: Select all

      $this->rewrite_method[$phpbb_root_path]['ppshop'] = 'ppshop';
      $this->file_hbase['ppshop'] = $this->seo_path['phpbb_url'];

before :

Code: Select all

      // Let's make sure that settings are consistent
      $this->check_config();

And then :

Code: Select all

   /**
   * URL rewritting for ppshop.php
   * @access private
   */
   function ppshop() {
      $this->path = $this->seo_path['phpbb_url'] . 'boardshop/';
      $this->url = 'shop.html';
      return;
   }

After :

Code: Select all

      // Let's make sure that settings are consistent
      $this->check_config();
   }
   // Here start the add-on methods

This would work assuming that ppshop.php is within the phpBB install directory, since we define the phpbb_seo::rewrite_method with $phpbb_root_path in this example for ppshop.php, but you could use another path, relative to $phpbb_root_path if you put it elsewhere.
Since you involve a virtual directory (boardshop/), you need to as well define an entry for ppshop in the phpbb_seo::file_hbase array, providing with the full url from root to where the physical ppshop.php stands.
Then the rewriting method is the simplest case, no variable filtering and no pagination, but extra variable passed to append_sid() while generating the url would still work and passed to the rewritten url (boardshop/shop.html?get=value)
Note that the phpbb_seo::path defined in phpbb_seo::ppshop must match the rewritten location you want.
It is set two time in most rewriting method, since when we conditionally rewrite, after testing that the proper GET variable we need where sent through append_sid(), we could fall back to the case where the same script must not be rewritten (special case filtered), so the second phpbb_seo::path definition is the path that will be used when the link is not rewritten, it can be different if you for example use virtual root, or a virtual directory like in this example.

Ultimately, you would need an extra rewriterule for this new case :

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^boardshop/shop\.html$ /ppshop.php [QSA,L,NC]

The QSA flag is the one that will make boardshop/shop.html?get=value to still work.

No need to mention, only url built with append_sid() and the proper path (the same as defined in the phpbb_seo::rewrite_method array) will be rewritten.

If you say so ...

How can i change this http://www.bulldogboard.eu/mitglieder/Administrator/topics/seite30.html to http://www.bulldogboard.eu/mitglieder/Administrator/beitraege/seite30.html

I found this in phpbb_seo_class.php

Code: Select all

$user_id = !empty($this->get_vars['author_id']) ? $this->get_vars['author_id'] : ( isset($this->seo_url['username'][rawurldecode(@$this->get_vars['author'])]) ? $this->seo_url['username'][rawurldecode($this->get_vars['author'])] : 0);
      if ( $user_id && isset($this->seo_url['user'][$user_id]) ) {
         // Filter default params
         $this->filter_get_var($this->phpbb_filter['search']);
         $this->{$this->paginate_method['user']}($this->seo_ext['user']);
         $sr = (@$this->get_vars['sr'] == 'topics' ) ? 'topics' : 'posts';
         $this->url = $this->seo_url['user'][$user_id] . $this->seo_delim['sr'] . $sr . $this->start;
         unset($this->get_vars['author_id'], $this->get_vars['author'], $this->get_vars['sr']);
         return;
      } elseif ( $this->seo_opt['profile_noids'] && !empty($this->get_vars['author']) ) {
         // Filter default params
         $this->filter_get_var($this->phpbb_filter['search']);
         $this->rewrite_pagination_page();
         $sr = (@$this->get_vars['sr'] == 'topics' ) ? '/topics' : '/posts';
         $this->url = $this->seo_static['user'] . '/' . $this->seo_url_encode($this->get_vars['author']) . $sr . $this->start;
         unset($this->get_vars['author'], $this->get_vars['author_id'], $this->get_vars['sr']);
         return;

Is this the only point to change this to a more german style or are there other points to do that?

I want to make my URLs more german and in the moment topics is the only word, that still is in english

[Edit]

Yust in this moment i see, that the attachements are still pointed to ressources and images to image. The german way wold be dateianhaenge and bild...



btw. it would be a nice gimmick for the next version of this great mod if it comes in a multilingual way for the rewritten urls

phpBB3-SEO-Premod_V_3.0.5.txt wrote:=> The first setting to do is to select which static part to use in your URLs.

To do so, you can override default values in phpbb_seo/includes/setup_phpbb_seo.php, still before :

Code: Select all

      // Let's make sure that settings are consistent
      $this->check_config();

EXAMPLES :
__________

Code: Select all

// => the-team :   
      $this->seo_static['leaders'] = 'my-team'; // instead of the default "the-team"

// => announces :
$this->seo_static['global_announce'] = 'announcements'; // instead of the default "announces"

Code: Select all

// => Active topics :
      $this->seo_static['atopic'] = 'important-topics'; // instead of the default "active-topics"

Code: Select all

// => Unaswered :
      $this->seo_static['utopic'] = 'not-answered'; // instead of the default "unanswered"

Code: Select all

// => Newposts :
      $this->seo_static['npost'] = 'new-messages'; // instead of the default "newposts"

=> As well as for (and the same way) :

Code: Select all

forum ($this->seo_static['forum']), topic ($this->seo_static['topic']), post ($this->seo_static['post']), member ($this->seo_static['member']), groups ($this->seo_static['group']), attachments virtual directory ($this->seo_static['file_index'], read the comments in the file for more attachments customizing) and virtual folder pagination ($this->seo_static['page'])

So for topics, use :

Code: Select all

      $this->seo_static['topic'] = 'beitraege';

And do not forget that you will then need to update your .htaccess, and to keep a rewriterule to properly redirect the "topic" urls in case your forum was already index. In you case, it would be something like :

Code: Select all

# OLD TOPIC
RewriteRule ^[a-z0-9_/-]*topic([0-9]+)/?(seite([0-9]+)\.html)?$ viewtopic.php?t=$1&start=$3 [QSA,L,NC]

to add at the end of your .htaccess with proper paths and slashes

Ah! This is really cool

Sorry

I try to get this Rewriterule to work:

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^mitglieder/([^/]+)/(themen|beitraege)/?(seite([0-9]+)\.html)?$ /search.php?author=$1&sr=$2&start=$4 [QSA,L,NC]


The original one is

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^member/([^/]+)/(topics|posts)/?(page([0-9]+)\.html)?$ /search.php?author=$1&sr=$2&start=$4 [QSA,L,NC]


But i don't get topics to themen and posts to betraege. Member to mitglieder still works fine.

I think, the "problem" is here:

Code: Select all

$sr = (@$this->get_vars['sr'] == 'topics' ) ? '/topics' : '/posts';
         $this->url = $this->seo_static['user'] . '/' . $this->seo_url_encode($this->get_vars['author']) . $sr . $this->start;

Because these are the only lines of code where "/topics" and "/posts" are hardcoded and not overwritten by $seo_static - variables.

Well, you can't change these like this, because the values posts and topics are hard coded in search.php.

To do it, you would additionally need to change these in search.php, but I don't think it's this important.

Hi,

I go further this topic because I took all my code lines in it : )

I did what you advise in setup_phpbb_seo for static url and it works well and my new url is ok and well rewritten on link , but when I do it another time the second url is rewritten only if I write in my browser but not on the direct link : it stays page.php

the code I used is

Code: Select all

   /// Arcade list rewriting /////////////
      $this->rewrite_method[$phpbb_root_path]['arcade_list'] = 'arcade_list';    
      $this->file_hbase['arcade_list'] = $this->seo_path['phpbb_url'];
     $this->rewrite_method[$phpbb_root_path]['arcade_topplayers'] = 'arcade_topplayers';      
      $this->file_hbase['arcade_topplayers'] = $this->seo_path['phpbb_url'];
     ///end arcadelist
      // Let's make sure that settings are consistent
      $this->check_config();
   }
   // Here start the add-on methods
   /**
   *
   */
   //arcadelist//
   function arcade_list() {
      $this->path = $this->seo_path['phpbb_url'] . '';
      $this->url = 'arcade.html';
      return;
   }
   function arcade_topplayers() {
      $this->path = $this->seo_path['phpbb_url'] . '';
      $this->url = 'stats-players.html';
      return;

So it ok for arcade.html and for stats-players.html : it works only if when I type it
another question do we need to put a new line in robot txt after this change ?

Generally it would be very cool, if we can get "ready made" rewrites for Arcade and Gallery (like the ready mades for the portal).

What about parent for parent? Can i add more than one parent for some url?
For example i have following structure: category -> forum -> subforum -> topic
Can i receive urls like http://mysite.com/category/forum/subforum/topic.html or http://mysite.com/forum/subforum/topic.html ?
Sorry for my english.

If you're rewriting a script called page.php, then you must use "page" to fill the rewrite_method array :

Code: Select all

$this->rewrite_method[$phpbb_root_path]['page'] = 'name_of_the_method_to_use';
