I'm using this mod from phpbbhacks to display the 5 most recently replied-to topics on the index page:

http://www.phpbbhacks.com/download/4842

The forum and topic URLs are not rewritten... but strangely, the author and most-recent-poster profile links are rewritten.

I have zero dupe installed so the non-rewritten URLs do get 301ed correctly, but I would still like to get the rewriting working. I've tried a search but nobody else on here seems to be using this mod and the code for the similar mods that people are using doesn't seem to be very similar.

I've never coded in PHP before, nor in any language resembling it, so I'm a bit confused and any hints would be appreciated.

Argh sorry posted in the wrong forum by mistake, this should be about phpbb2.

Have your tried to search the phpBB2 category to find a patch, because chances are great that there is one already.

Thanks for moving the thread

Yes, I did try a search; I found patches for several other similar mods but I couldn't find one for this particular one.

Not to worry though, I managed to work it out in the end and have posted my own patch: http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/advance ... t3927.html
