Re: Disable Timezone and Language settings on registration

Glad to hear! Since you brought up the "1000 views and no answer!' comment, I would like to offer one possible explanation: For what it's worth, leveraging search tools on the phpBB base for the string in question would lead to the language file. From there, you have the key used by the templat...

Re: How would you go about doing this?

No, a signature tells you nothing, but if you look at someone's post history, you can quickly assess whether they know what they're talking about or not. It doesn't hurt if they've submitted mods to phpBB either, since you then have direct evidence of their programming skills (or lack thereof).

Re: How would you go about doing this?

A number of the support team on phpBB mention in their signatures that they do freelance work. At least you won't be wondering since they typically have a long list of mods and history with the site. And before anyone asks... yes, I'm qualified, but no, I'm not interested. :D

Re: Disable Timezone and Language settings on registration

You could remove them from ucp_register.html. Of course I'm assuming you know basic HTML syntax; if you don't, there are plenty of references on the web. Remember to purge the template cache in the ACP to see the changes.

Re: Sitemap shows in google seacrh results

I'll repeat my last answer -- The results from Google look correct: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.forosla.com . They show only 601 pages indexed for your site. Rather than worry about optimizing Google's index content, I think your time is better spent on creating index-worthy content ....

Re: My phpBB forum is not getting indexed by Google

It may be that your site is ranked too low. You can add the site: tag to your Google queries to confirm an item is (or isn't) indexed. One thing that might help is driving the invalid (spam) posts out of Google's index more quickly by returning a redirect instead of not found. For example: http://ww...

Re: My phpBB forum is not getting indexed by Google

Looks properly indexed to me: http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.bettinginfos.com%2FForum%2F Googlebot isn't having a lot of luck finding the text of the first post; you could give it a hint by setting the meta description tag value to an excerpt of the first sentence or two (your current met...

Re: Top level forum index title

Something like this in overall_header.html should work...

Code: Select all
<!-- IF SCRIPT_NAME eq 'index' -->Forums - Your Sitename<!-- ELSE -->...<!-- ENDIF -->

The "..." will be the existing forum title generation in overall_header.html.

Re: Problem installing SEO premod

Just a guess, but maybe the cookie isn't being set (?) correctly. Your cookie_domain in the phpbb3_config table should be something like '.example.com' (without quotes and with a leading "."). The cookie path is typically "/" (again without quotes).

Re: phpBB 3.0.11 & phpBB SEO

To answer the OP's original question, assuming he cares, phpBB-seo is usually updated to the current phpBB level with a week or less. FWIW, the 3.0.10 to 3.0.11 update was smaller than most.

Re: Seo PreMod and 301 redirect

I would ignore it. While sitemaps may be help Google find pages that are otherwise not clearly linked, I think in 99.8% of the cases, Googlebot will efficiently figure it out without any hints. As an aside, keep in mind that the sitemap you're seeing is a "people friendly" rendition of the...

Re: Your software appears to come from phpbb-seo.com?

Actually the OP's question had to do with importing a database, not a phpBB (or phpBB-seo) question per se. Mick at phpBB recognized this and gave some hints: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=13165340#p13165340 For what it's worth, if you have telnet access to your DB server, you can ...

Re: SEO premod and Google site links

The results from Google look correct to me: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.forosla.com google_results.png In your screenshot, you searched on "forosla.com" and thus Google tried to show sitelinks. But since there's so few results, it guessed poorly at what should (or could) be ...
