Hi all,

let me use this topic (if it's ok) to ask some questions on SEO.

I have a phpbb 3.0.4 board. I read a lot about different SEO mods and complications that arise when installing these. Now i really really want to give it a try but where do i start?

What should i install and in what order? Because i read that there are also things like "No duplicates" mods. I'm really confused right now :?

Ok i'm installing (local server) the mod now (phpBB_SEO_Ultimate_SEO_URL_V_0.6.0.txt)

Like i said i run a heavily modded phpbb 3.0.4 board and it's just no option to update to 3.0.5 (too much work :twisted: ).

I got to the point now where i need to edit the file includes/functions_content.php and look for:

Code: Select all
$block_array += array(
                  'S_FLASH_FILE'   => true,
                  'WIDTH'         => $width,
                  'HEIGHT'      => $height,
                  'U_VIEW_LINK'   => $download_link . '&view=1',
               );

and replace with:
Code: Select all
$block_array += array(
                  'S_FLASH_FILE'   => true,
                  'WIDTH'         => $width,
                  'HEIGHT'      => $height,
                  // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
                  'U_VIEW_LINK'   => append_sid($download_link . '&view=1'),
                  // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END
               );

But mine just looks like:
Code: Select all
$block_array += array(
                  'S_FLASH_FILE'   => true,
                  'WIDTH'         => $width,
                  'HEIGHT'      => $height,
               );


This is the first conflict i run into. Will there be more? Is there a special version for 3.0.4 boards. Please help.

You need to update. Period. The mod is not intended to be used with 3.0.4.

Look at my site for instance, I have over 140 official mods installed and countless edits, tweaks, hacks and personal mod's on top of that and I am up to date. I updated from 3.0.4 to 3.0.5 and am happy I did. It is completely possible to update to 3.0.5, it just takes a bit work and some expertise.

I don't know if it is something you would be interested in but I do this type of work and would be happy to have a talk with you and look over your site and give you a quote to bring the site to 3.0.5 and install the seo mod.

And when 3.0.6 comes out i need to do this whole procedure again and again? I really don't want that because this will also break some of the installed mods. I know how to do it but it's just too much work man. Thanks anyway.

Then your only choice is to use the last version of our mod. DCZ may know of a way to make it easy to run the latest version on 3.0.4 but I know he wouldn't like the idea and the fact is that he is without reliable internet access for a few days and wont be offering forum support until he gets back to a reliable connection.

If you would like, I can find an old copy and send it to you.

I installed it last night on my local server and i really like this mod :D it's just awesome man, great work.

Ok, i have 3 choices now.

1 - Try to update my live board to 3.0.5 (which won't be easy) and add this mod manually afterwards.
2 - Use the SEO-Premod board from here and add all of my mods afterwards.
3 - Use an old version of the mod compatible with 3.0.4

I don't like the first 2 choices :twisted: it would be too much work at the moment for me. Boy-o-boy what am i gonna do? Just let me think about it. Is there a big difference between this version and the previous version for 3.0.4? Could i run it on a live board?

By the way, thanks for the great support :wink:

There is a very big difference.
Starting from v0.6.0, the three phpBB SEO mod rewrites are merged into a single mod, the phpBB SEO Ultimate SEO URL mod.

Each one of the previous mods has now become a mode of the phpBB SEO Ultimate SEO URL mod. You can just choose which mode to use in the ACP.

Version 0.6.0 as well introduces a new powerful option : SQL Rewriting. You will now be able to chose topic URL on a per case basis, no matter the URL standard used. This make the mixed mode with virtual folder option more powerful than ever, since you can keep static URL for most cases and use selected keywords for the more important threads.

Enabling this option is optional, but even if you do not intend to set custom URLs for your threads, it still makes the rewriting process faster than ever. Turning on the SQL rewriting option will not change your topic URLs, it will only allow admins and moderators (of the concerned thread's forum) to do it on a per case basis while posting and editing topic first post.
The phpbb_seo class was completely rewrote, all three types of URL rewriting are now merged without performance loss, if not with better performance even without the SQL rewriting option activated.


Some awesome additions.

Keeping up to date is ALWAYS the best bet. An effort yes when your mod mad like me (and apparently you too), but totally worth it.

Welcome ssmith88 ;)

To start with you should give a try to our SEO premod on a local server, it includes all our SEO mods so it's a very good (and simple) way to understand better what they can do.
