Available packages

If you experience problems with the automatic update (white screens, timeouts, etc.) we recommend using the "changed files only" method for updating.

With this release, there are four packages available.

• Full Package
  Contains entire phpBB SEO premod source English and French language files.
  
• Changed Files Only
  Contains only those files changed from previous versions of the phpBB3 SEO Premod.
• Automatic Update Package
  Update package for the automatic updater, containing the changes from previous release to this release.
Select whichever package is most suitable for you.

Translations Update :

Both French and English language pack are included by default in the auto update and changed file package.
In case you are not using the french language pack at all, you can safely ignore updates of the French language files. Leaving it on your ftp and let the updater update it is of course not a problem.

Please ensure you read the INSTALL and README documents in docs/ before proceeding with installation, updates or conversions!.

Be sure to take a look at the official phpBB3 announcement thread to find out more about the phpBB3.0.1 new feature and bug fixes included in the phpBB SEO Premod.

Please note for update :

The update will require some additional set up and .htaccess update.
Your forum URLs will stay exactly the same, but URL rewriting is extended and User Messages search pages URL will change.
User Messages search pages URLs will change :

We decided to go for a better url structure and to as well hanlde the sr (showresults, can be topics or posts in search results) option.
It's no big deal, but if you update, you'll need to keep the previous rewriterule you had in your .htaccess for user messages pages.
To do so, make a copy of your current .htaccess, generate a new one once you've updated, and then grab the rewriterule you had in your old .htaccess after (the line is longer):


Code: Select all

# USER MESSAGES


and copy it after :


Code: Select all

# HERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO ADD OTHER PHPBB RELATED REWRITERULES


in your new .htaccess and the zero duplicate will do the rest

Before you do so, you can change the way search user pages are rewrtten if you wish, if you as well change the profile URLs, then you'll need to keep the old profile rewriterule the same way in your new .htaccess.
If you encounter some difficulties to update the phpbb_seo_class.php file, for example if you modded it, you will just have to use the new file and edit it to re enter your previous customisations (static part & delimiters).
Once you will have updated, you will have to refresh your theme's cache as well as phpBB's cache (ACP => STYLE, Themes => Refresh).

We apologize for this, but an last bug fix was just added to all the 3.0.1 packages, we did not renumber the version.
For those who would already have installed (before this message was posted : 2008/04/16 1:15 pm GMT) or updated the 3.0.1 premod, the bug breaks the merge forum in MCP, but the fix is very easy.
You can either redownload the archive and overwrite the phpbb_seo/phpbb_seo_class.php file, or manually edit it, the unique change is :

Find :


Code: Select all

      $this->url = $this->url_in = $url = str_replace('?&', '&', $url);


Replace with :


Code: Select all

      $this->url = $this->url_in = $url = str_replace('?&', '?', $url);



Again we apologize about this, and wish you all a nice update

Hello, thanks for the premod. I have updated from 3.0.0 everything works perfect but only when i enter to my profile page (only admin profile) I have errors. When I enter to other member profiles there are no errors.

The errors shown me at the top of the page:

Code: Select all

[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions_display.php on line 1035: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions.php on line 3583: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /includes/functions.php:2984)

I will wait your replies...

Grr, the dumbest mistakes are the one that have use losing the most time
Anyway, it should be solved with the new includes/function_display.php I just updated in the packages (still no new version, one per day is enough ), was just because your user did not have a most active topic. Could be related to some DB problems on your install, but the code should handle such exceptions so ...

you're too fast . Thank you very much

When i download the premodded version now, the bugs are fixed?

Yes.

I automatic updated my forum and edited conflicting files my self and voila.
Thanks once again, this premod rocks.
All functions are working pretty fast now.

Some little optimizations where indeed implemented in phpbb_seo_class.php that should at least make the new options and rewritten urls costless in page load, but it's as well possible that we won couple 1/1000 sec here and elsewhere

Grr, one more very small bug, just a single change in viewtopic.php, only concerns post redirection which was loosing pagination.

When releasing becomes harder than developing

Event though the problem is minimal because the fixes are fast to implement, we'll do better with next release
