topics anywhere and simple rewrite mod

i've installed topics anywhere mod in localhost
this mod is very useful but it dosn't work with simple rewrite mod
the output link is like standard URLs with .php prefix
at this time i have two different url for one topic
i think topics_anywhere.php file must be edited
can you guide me

thanks

topic anywhere is really something to use with great care, because it can become very fast put huge loads on the server.

I already planned though to take a look at it, but it's not a good working solution I think.

because i need a mod for making RSS feeds
topics anywhere can do it for me.
is there any other mod (compatible with simple rewrite mod) ?
i want to make a RSS feed for each forum and i want to put it like a button under the forums defenition
some users like to subcribe a forum in a RSS reader (for example in firefox) to have the latest topics of that forum
topics anywhere can do this job but the bad things is that every person can use this script on your site and another issue is that it can only make RSS feed that linked to standard phpbb URLs

thanks

Then, this is too much for the topic anywhere mod, it's just to heavy to handle all of your forum's RSS.

I will in the future provide RSS solutions, if you like you can start playing with http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=254606 instead.

We should eb able to mod it quite easy

OK
thanks

i installed this mod
very simple and clean mod
but this mod only can link to standard URLs and
its not compatible with simple rewrite mod
i will wait for your patch for this mod

I know, I'll take a look to the code and will build up a quick patch , but this is the phpbb rss mod, even though I am using a slightly different one, able to cache every single RSS output, which is better for heavy use.

And of course, feeds are mod Rewriten themselves.

I'll soon release this one too, just have to find sometime to put it all together

But it will certainly be based on the one I pointed out, so you can get used to it, in the end the final SEO solution will be very similar

I took a quick look at the code and there is a problem, the mod only outputs post's URL, so they end up being all duplicates.

But, they are useful to your user, and it nicer to rewrite them, even if you should disallow them with your robots.txt file.

Anyway, fot the RSS Feed mod open :

Code: Select all

rss.php

Find :

Code: Select all

         'POST_URL' => $viewpost_url . '?' . POST_POST_URL . '=' . $post['post_id'] . '#' . $post['post_id'],
         'FIRST_POST_URL' => $viewpost_url . '?' . POST_POST_URL . '=' . $post['topic_first_post_id'] . '#' . $post['topic_first_post_id'],

Replace with :

Code: Select all

         'POST_URL' => append_sid($viewpost_url . '?' . POST_POST_URL . '=' . $post['post_id'] . '#' . $post['post_id']),
         'FIRST_POST_URL' => append_sid($viewpost_url . '?' . POST_POST_URL . '=' . $post['topic_first_post_id'] . '#' . $post['topic_first_post_id']),

This should mod rewrite all outputted URLs following the phpBB SEO Simple Mod Rewrite Standard.

thanks

but if i want to put RSS button under forum description, this links are visible for google

Yes, but RSS output itself does not get any PageRank, so you don't really need them to be rewritten.

Anyway I'll take a look at it
