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.
• Patch Files Package :
  Contains patch compatible patches from previous versions of phpBB3, starting from 3.0.2. Mainly intended for advanced users.
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 phpBB3.0.3 new features and bug fixes included in the phpBB SEO Premod.

Please note for update :

This update will not change any of your settings.
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 have included the mod GYM Sitemap & RSS, but we kept the activation separated.
To activate GYM sitemaps & RSS once the premod is installed / updated, just browse example.com/phpBB/gym_sitemaps/gym_install.php.

Please read the SEO premod install file for more details. Installing GYM Sitemaps & RSS is as easy as lunching a script, no file editing.

Small glitch, we forgot to add the phpbb_seo/phpbb_seo_class.php file in the automatic update package.

It is now up to date, if you already used it, make sure you properly update this file.

Sorry for this.

We'll need more information. What did you install & version, what mods did you apply, and most importantly: What do you mean you can't post? Do you see a blank screen when you press the reply button? Usually "blank screens" are due to a coding error; many php-based sites suppress errors so they don't reveal potentially useful data to hackers.

Thank you for responding.

When I press the reply button. The record is created in the database but blank screens. I tried to just let your version without any changes and does not work it.


I regret if my English is not very good.

Looks like it could be a language pack issue, make sure that all you installed language packs are up to date.

Thaks SeO!

You're welcome, this is the kind of error not that easy to debug at first, since there is no error message at all in this case.
