empty links?
Great mod!

I completed the SEO 2.0 and phpBB static URLs mod _rewrite 1.0.0.

After uploading all of the files it appears the links on the index.php page are named correctly e.g. /forums2/forum-1.html.

Here's the problem, when I click on them I get a 404 error.

Is there a step that I missed somewhere? Do the pages need to be created somehow?

Also, where is the forum-1.html name coming from?
Thanks

Thanks craven. Looks like google is finally indexing some of my fishing.html pages.

However, the bot is also indexing many of the post-.html pages.

I checked my robots.txt and I'm disallowing these lines.

Any ideas?

Hello,

I have an IIS machine and on windows there is no .htacces.
Now there is a tool named isapi rewrite, and i translated aal the rules from .htacces to isapi.
But my question is:

You are allowing it to index posting pages. Proper use of the robots.txt will remedy this.


my robots txt looks like this

Disallow: forums/post-*.html$
Disallow: forums/updates-topic.html*$
Disallow: forums/stop-updates-topic.html*$
Disallow: forums/ptopic*.html$
Disallow: forums/ntopic*.html$


what should it look like??

The forum just output's the urls. The mod_rewrite rules just route them back.

Assuming your rules work, there is no change needed on the forum file end.

Hi again!

It´s been some time since i otimized my forum now, and i´m seeing some results of it.

Google went from 25 to 110 found pages of my site.
Altavista from 100 to 450
Yahoo from 100 to 450
But MSN went from 870 to only 9 pages found!!! I searched this forum and found some other posts about this. What is it that MSN searchengine don´t like with this optimization? I mean MSN is a pretty big searchengine, so i think this is a pretty big problem...

Any suggestions what to do and why is it like this? Confused

Currently haveing an issue where the urls are nor being preg_replace for output. The following are exerpts from page_header.php and page_tail.php

I have had experience from other rewrite mods, ie google rewrite mod for phpNuke, but I can't seem to put my finger on why they are not being parsed :S
page_header.php
Code:if (!$userdata['session_logged_in'])
{
ob_start();

function replace_for_mod_rewrite(&$s)
{
$urlin = array(
"'(?<!/)index.php\?f=([0-9]*)&topicdays=([0-9]*)&start=([0-9]*)'",
"'(?<!/)index.php\?f=([0-9]*)&mark=topics'",
"'(?<!/)viewtopic.php\?t=([0-9]*)&watch=topic*'",
"'(?<!/)viewtopic.php\?t=([0-9]*)&unwatch=topic*'",
"'(?<!/)viewtopic.php\?t=([0-9]*)&highlight=*'",
"'(?<!/)index.php\?f=([0-9]*)'",
"'(?<!/)viewtopic.php\?t=([0-9]*)&view=previous'",
"'(?<!/)viewtopic.php\?t=([0-9]*)&view=next'",
"'(?<!/)viewtopic.php\?t=([0-9]*)&postdays=([0-9]*)&postorder=([a-zA-Z]*)&vote=viewresult'",
"'(?<!/)viewtopic.php\?t=([0-9]*)&postdays=([0-9]*)&postorder=([a-zA-Z]*)&start=([0-9]*)'",
"'(?<!/)viewtopic.php\?t=([0-9]*)&start=([0-9]*)&postdays=([0-9]*)&postorder=([a-zA-Z]*)&highlight=([a-zA-Z0-9]*)'",
"'(?<!/)viewtopic.php\?t=([0-9]*)&start=([0-9]*)'",
"'(?<!/)viewtopic.php\?t=([0-9]*)'",
"'(?<!/)viewtopic.php&p=([0-9]*)'",
"'(?<!/)viewtopic.php\?p=([0-9]*)'"
);

$urlout = array(
"topic-\\1-\\2-\\3.html",
"mark-forum\\1.html",
"updates-topic\\1.html",
"stop-updates-topic\\1.html",
"about\\1.html&highlight=\\2",
"forum-\\1.html",
"ptopic\\1.html",
"ntopic\\1.html",
"view-poll\\1-\\2-\\3.html",
"about\\1-\\2-\\3-\\4.html",
"about\\1.html",
"about\\1-\\2.html",
"about\\1.html",
"post-\\1.html",
"post-\\1.html"
);

$s = preg_replace($urlin, $urlout, $s);

return $s;
}
}

page_tail.php
Code:if (function_exists(ob_gzhandler) && $board_config['gzip_compress'] == 1)
{
$gzip_contents = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
global $dbg_starttime;
echo replace_for_mod_rewrite($gzip_contents);

Header('Vary: Accept-Encoding');
Header('X-Content-Encoded-By: webmedic page zipper');

ob_end_flush();
}
else
{
$contents = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
echo replace_for_mod_rewrite($contents);
global $dbg_starttime;
}


-PK

ps-the index replaceing viewforum is not a mistake, it is to do with one of the mods I have on my board.

Yes, there is probably a step you have missed. Given the number of times I have repeated instructions already included in the mod I made this tutorial. It should be able to answer your problems (regardless of what it is): The definitive guide to phpBB mod_rewrite problems/errors

MSN has no problem with this mod. It may, or may not, have a problem with the specific site.

It is not my code that is causing your problems, and due to time contraints I can't support other code for this mod.

Hi there.

Great forum! A few months ago I stumbled onto the forum seo portion and was impressed. I followed the instructions and it worked out great. The instructions were easy to follow and the results have been excellent! I already have 100 url in google but I have run into a snag. My host has discovered a bug in phpBB2 version 2.0.16 and has forced me to upgrade to the latest version 2.0.17 which is different then version 2.0.16. With the seo mod I couldn't just perform an upgrade and had to do a full install. I backed up my database info so it crossed over fine but the new version is not the same so the upgrade instructions no longer apply.

I am starting to run into googles duplicate content filter so I would like to fix this if it is possible.

Anyway. Do you have a new version of this mod that will work with phpBB2 version 2.0.17?

Appreciate any help you can provide!

Thanks in advance.
Chris

Hi,

I have recently mod' my phpbb your way and everything is cool except 'viewtopic.php' which will not display the topic even if I am logged in.

Where should I be looking for any problems my sitename is 'ilovehuatulco' its a dot com and my forum is called 'huatulco' if this is permited to be said.

Thank you for any help at all.

Moderators ... I hope this was an acceptable way of presenting a link.

1) apply the php part of the mod_rewrite code
2) log out, and check

Please ask them, I don't support other people's code (this includes when others take my code and republish it with modification) due to time contraints.

The simple answer is that it can easily be done the same way the other urls are done. In a future release of my mod I will add this.

Grat mod, good instructions as well.

Problem though, while logged in I want to be able to see the mods for the sections and who made the last post for each forum on the index. I tried your code for the login switch for showing moderators, but it didn't work.

I didn't read every post in this thread, its very long. Can you offer any assistance to showing the moderators and latest posters on the index page? Also, I didn't complete all of the template instructions (only the title part) because Im not using the default style. Would this affect anything?
