I confirm both your .htaccess and guest session mod are working well

I think you just saw some SIDs after (auto) log-in or in acp, two places bots will never see.
You can go on installing the few php code changes, it should work right upon upload

Gr8 - well that's a start..

I'll carry on then...

Do I have to restart apache after I've done all this - if so will I ever see my site again :S

nope, nothing to restart, just straight upload of modded files and voilà (unless you managed to create parse errors )

Ok, a couple of things so far which ahve BOTh provided nice blank forum screen:)

The actual forum .php file edits this mod requires are causing some issues.
I say that purely because when I've modded the viewtopic.php and uploaded it I got blank screen and then once more with the sessions.php from includes/sessions.php

Refer back to originals and the forum's fine..

I have no idea what to do next so i've put the handbrake on til further notice..

You have to upload all file before it can work, some function are called from sessions.php that are in function.php.

Then, if you have problems with viewtopic.php, it's most likely a copy past error.

First upload function.php, then, sessions.php and take a look at it, all links should already be rewritten, the two other files code changes are just enhancements.

well it's working by jove!! - awesome

Aha - now that WOULD have been useful to know as when I mod, I edit a file, make backup of the file on remote THEN upload modded file. I've not a mod like this b4 where I've needed to make sure all the files where there and in a specific order (one thing to remember for next time)

two other things..

the mod says include/function.php when it should be include/function.php

also I still have blank screen if I move the modded viewtopic.php over..

Here's a snippet of the viewtopic.php

Code: Select all

   // Canned MOD Begin
   'S_CANNED_SELECT' => $s_canned_select,
   'U_CANNED_POSTING' => append_sid("posting.$phpEx"),
   'FORUM_ID' => $forum_id,
   'TOPIC_ID' => $topic_id,
   // Canned MOD End

// www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
$highlight_ok = ($highlight !='') ? "&highlight=$highlight" : '';
// www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END


   // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
   'U_VIEW_TOPIC' => append_sid("viewtopic.$phpEx?" . POST_TOPIC_URL . "=$topic_id&start=$start&postdays=$post_days&postorder=$post_order$highlight_ok"),
   // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END
   'U_VIEW_FORUM' => $view_forum_url,
   'U_VIEW_OLDER_TOPIC' => $view_prev_topic_url,
   'U_VIEW_NEWER_TOPIC' => $view_next_topic_url,
   'U_POST_NEW_TOPIC' => $new_topic_url,
   'U_POST_REPLY_TOPIC' => $reply_topic_url)
);


Plus I hope you like the linkback within the footer

Code: Select all

// www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
$highlight_ok = ($highlight !='') ? "&highlight=$highlight" : '';
// www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END

Should be located before the

Code: Select all

$template->assign_vars(array(

just above the code you posted.

And thanks for the link, you won't regret to use all those Search Engine Enhancements and to be part of this great community

all sorted!

Ok, so now It's all in, Why did I do it? LOL

what can I expect now, if this is SEO - I quite like it!

Hopefully I will see a marked improvement on stats I posted when I first joined in about a months time ?

Yes, I think that with your actual PageRank, and with Google sitemaps submitted, you should see results quite soon, about a month or so starting from now

About what ?

Submission ?

Wait a bit, let Google work for some time and you'll see ...

Sorry, it wasn't clear but what I meant was will this ONLY be effective SEO IF I do something with Google Sitemaps aswell ?

I think I've seen something about google sitemaps on here.. what do you suggest dcz?

Ho sorry, I though you already installed mx Google sitemaps. Then, it's really something to think of, and not that hard to do

You will just have to implement few more rewriterules in your forum .htaccess (you'll find them in the release's contrib/ folder) and to upload the premodded file for the simple mod rewrite.

And it is very efficient for Google, even more for large boards.

Hi


i have some major problems installing this great mod rewrite with Categories Hierarchy 2.1.6. Nearly every line from the CH 2.1.4e is not found in the considering files and one file is missing completly.

viewtopic.php not able to change one line in CH 2.1.6, due to not existing code.

includes/sessions.php -> this file is completly missing. (and seems to be the primary part of the rewrite mod)

includes/class_config.php -> the code found in Ch 2.1.6 is different than the supposed code. You can find

Code: Select all

return ($external ? $script_path : (trim(substr($this->root, 0, 2) == './') && $add_sid ? substr($this->root, 2) : $this->root)) . $basename . '.' . $this->ext . $url_parms;"

instead of the one from the installation instructions.

seems to be impossible to install this mod with CH 2.1.6. Is there any chance that this great mod will be adapted for the new Categories Hierachy Mod ?


Greetings
Champagnero

And welcome

Unfortunately, I did not have time to work on CH 2.16 so far, but as you would benefit from it, I'll finally install a 2.16 test CH board and see how long it would take to adapt this.

My concern here is I am at the same time fighting with some IRL to end up upgrading basically all mods provided here, in order to set up a more universal basis on which it will be a lot easier to add support for unlimited mods.

But I'll work on it and will keep this thread updated, so expect a mail
