Yes

Hi Craven

Thanks for the tip about checking each mod as i went, worked fine and i was able to make the minor adjustments, so thanks alot for your advice.

I have now moved into the static URL mod, and again all went ok, until i added the htaccess file, then only the index page would open, none of the forum pages:

I get this:

Edit [Moderator]: Link removed


Not Found

The requested URL was not found on this server


I immediatly removed the .htaccess file, and the robots.txt, however the error remains, here is what i have in each file:

robots.txt

User-agent: NPBot
Disallow: /

User-agent: TurnitinBot
Disallow: /

User-agent: asterias
Disallow: /

User-agent: *
Disallow:

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



htaccess:

Edit [Moderator]: Link removed

Pardon me if this has been asked, but 161 pages is too much for my patience

I have installed this MOD on all the files except for

index.php
viewforum.php

because in the former it erased my birthday MOD, which I rely on to keep members returning and in the later because I didn't like what it did cosmetically.

My question is, as long as I have MODded the sessions.php file, will it at least help out with search engine "friendliness" or shall I just remove the entire MOD altogether?

The sessions portion, and the title portion are the most important parts of the mod.

download link is dead can someone update it please

thanks

It's updated. I've moved it to a new site that I'm developing with some other programmers and we'll probably start updating the code we release more often as we work together.

i cant get this to work i keep getting this
The requested URL /forum-21.html was not found on this server.

Is it possible to change the "about" part in the url ?

Here is example:

http://website.com/forum/about153.html
to:
http://website.com/forum/cool153.html

Thanks,
Regards

Yeah, just change any instance of "about" in the mod to whatever you want.

Hello everyone. The forum I am using this is at Edit [Moderator]: Link removed

I have an issue.
When you go to the Index, the title is correct (it shows my custom title)
When you go to a Category the title is correct (name of category)
However, when you click on a specific topic, the title does not change. It is Blank or whatever the url is Edit [Moderator]: Link removed or something like that..
How do I change this so the title once you click on a topic will be the name of the topic?

ALSO
How do I change meta tags of my website? Add keywords and description?

.htaccess
Hello, i have my forum hosted by yahoo, when i look there with cuteftp i cannot find the .htaccess file, i dont know if it is that i know nothing about what im doing but i want to do the second part of the mod, only the part of changing the id to url but its asking me to open the .htaccess file, how do i do that? thank you

If the .htaccess file doesn't exist, create it. But note that files that start with a dot are hidden files, so some ftp clients don't display them when they are, in fact, there.

Also note that they are an Apache server configuration file, so servers that don't use Apache (not sure what Yahoo hosting uses these days) won't support it.

Then you updated this mod in the next weeks?

The phpBB 3.0 are in stable releases. Moreover, I found other mods, for phpBB 3.0 in phpbb-seo.com, however, I prefer your mop because is more simple and more seo in my opinion.

But I don't know thar if you think update the mod for phpBB 3.0

Regards from spain!

I have had long-standing plans to release a version for 3.0.0.

It may take me a bit but I still plan to do so.
