Code:php_value max_execution_time 300 ErrorDocument 401 /errors.php?error=401 ErrorDocument 403 /errors.php?error=403 ErrorDocument 404 /errors.php?error=404 ErrorDocument 500 /errors.php?error=500

With the items you have listed it doesn't matter if it comes before or afterwards.

This question is not about support for this mod, so please ask it in its own thread.

Yes.

i tried to install this but found that the sequence of mod index.php file is different to what the code lines exists in the newset version

lets say in new page we have code
A
B
C

and we have to changeB and C

the mode sometime say to change

C first and then B

will this make any difference

If you do it yourself it makes no difference. Some automated modification tools like easy mod require it to be in sequential order but the order of the find/replace codes makes no difference if you do the modification without any automated tools.

i applied this mod to my website and now it takes no where...each forum on subforum on cliclin returns to main page again...what wrong i might have done

thanks

phpbb does not have subforums. If you are using a mod to add subforums it is likely incompatible with this mod.

Hello

this post is really extra long . Where can I find the code to optimize phpbb 2.0.11 , latest phpbb version ?

Thank you
Graziano

This mod works with 2.0.11 and no special version of the mod is needed for 2.0.11

0 Replies

Thank you . I was asking it because latest mod update was more recent than latest phpbb update.

Thanks a lot !

Hello again

I installed your latest mod .

I have problems with mod_rewrite mode . I opens only page not found pages .

I have php 4.3.10 and mmcache latest version
and mod_gizp

Probably it doesn't work with mmcache or mod_gzip ?

Thank you!

Hi graziano, what do you mean by "placing it in ../forum". I am trying here to get it work and still no luck.

The mode rewrite used to work on my forum but I transfer it to another host today and the mode_rewrite doesn't seem to work anymore.

Notting is change and mode rewrite is enable in my new host.

He means that it worked when he put the .htaccess rules in his forum directory instead of the directory above it.

Note: The mod says to put it in your forum directory.

Trying to get the re-write to work with Mambo. It doesnt seem to want to give each page a unique title and the re-write only works on Mambo pages not on the forum. Confused

0 Replies

2 problem
hello
my name is amir abbas from iran
i have a site . and i installed mambo and phpBB
i install mambo in root of my site
and instal phpbb in a subdomain . i installed able2know on phpbb but after 1 month only index page of my forum indexed in google

question number 1

mambo has a robots.txt like this

Code:

User-agent: * 

Disallow: /administrator/

Disallow: /cache/

Disallow: /components/

Disallow: /editor/

Disallow: /help/

Disallow: /images/

Disallow: /includes/

Disallow: /language/

Disallow: /mambots/

Disallow: /media/

Disallow: /modules/

Disallow: /templates/

Disallow: /installation/

and i added able2know robots.txt after it
and after change , it became like this

Code:

User-agent: * 

Disallow: /administrator/

Disallow: /cache/

Disallow: /components/

Disallow: /editor/

Disallow: /help/

Disallow: /images/

Disallow: /includes/

Disallow: /language/

Disallow: /mambots/

Disallow: /media/

Disallow: /modules/

Disallow: /templates/

Disallow: /installation/

Disallow: /forum/post-*.html$ 

Disallow: /forum/updates-topic.html*$ 

Disallow: /forum/stop-updates-topic.html*$ 

Disallow: /forum/ptopic*.html$ 

Disallow: /forum/ntopic*.html$

and another thing is that my forum installed in subdomain
my domain is

Edit (Moderator): Link Removed

and phpbb installed in this subdomain

Edit (Moderator): Link Removed
and another robots.txt placed in subdomain like this

Code:

Disallow: forums/post-*.html$ 

Disallow: /updates-topic.html*$ 

Disallow: /stop-updates-topic.html*$ 

Disallow: /ptopic*.html$ 

Disallow: /ntopic*.html$

im sure that i installed able2know correctly and my forum works properly
but after 1 month only the first page of my forum indexed in google
did i install the robots.txt correctly ?
why my forum didn't index in google ?

and question number 2

phpbb has MOD called topics anywhere
this MOD can generate a javascript that shows the latest topic of forums
but this MOD just links to dynamic URLs but i want to change this MOD so that link to rewrited static URLs that is created by able2know

how can i do that ?

excuse me for grammatical wrongs in my sentences . my english language is not good .

Im not sure exactly, its working great for me. The main difference is that I have phpBB installed as a component on my index page. My google hits jumped from 15 to 500 within a week. And thats without the mod re-write working - I had to turn it off because it was giving me 404's on either Mambo or phpBB depending on how I configured it. Cant seem to get it to work. Also my site has been up for two year and there are already some three hundred links leading to it, so thats why google has found it so quickly.

Google seems to have stopped supporting wildcard exclusions.

With the exception of the very first one you list there should be no links to those pages for guests. So it shouldn't be an issue.

As to the individual post pages I never found them to be an issue that would merit work to keep them out of search indexes.

In any case this is not a question about support for this mod, so please ask questions like this in a separate thread in the future.

I do not support the Mambo software. I support this mod on phpbb when other modifications do not interfere with it.

The port to Mambo clearly has some incompatibilities with this code, and because I do not use (or have any interest in) Mambo with phpbb I will not be able to support you.

Perhaps you can start a different thread and ask for help porting the mod to the platform you use.

Just completed the mod...

In Guest mode, our url's look like this:
http://www.site.com/boards/viewtopic.php?p=3506#3506

Just want to confirm: Is the above url SE friendly?
I always thought any url with a variable was not se friendly.

When and why do you recommend the static page mod?
* I don't believe I have mod-rewrite available. Is that an issue should we decide to implement?

Thanks!.

Search engines can index pages with GET variables. The fewer the better and none at all is even more friendly.

As long as guest don't get session ID's (block cookies and visit as a guest to check) then you should be fine.

Some search engines actually can index pages with session ids in the url and are smart enough to remove them. But they often won't as those are less "friendly" to them.

It's important to understand that "search engine friendly" is not black or white. It's a matter of degrees.

The "static" mod makes it more friendly. Whether or not you implement it isn't something I care about (it's your site) or would make recomendations for. That is up to you.

Yes, it would not work without mod_rewrite
