Search Engine Optimization & Color Groups phpBB

Hi,

I really wanted to try Search Engine Optimization on my forums because it looks like a great tool but when I got to this part :

Quote:

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#

'<a>' . $forum_data[$j]['username'] . '</a> ';

#
#-----[ REPLACE WITH ]------------------------------------
#

$forum_data[$j]['username'];

#

I couldn't because when I installed color group it said to:

Quote:

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
$last_post .= ( $forum_data[$j]['user_id'] == ANONYMOUS ) ? ( ($forum_data[$j]['post_username'] != '' ) ? $forum_data[$j]['post_username'] . ' ' : $lang['Guest'] . ' ' ) : '<a>' . $forum_data[$j]['username'] . '</a> ';

#
#-----[REPLACE WITH ]------------------------------------------
#
$last_post .= ( $forum_data[$j]['user_id'] == ANONYMOUS ) ? ( ($forum_data[$j]['post_username'] != '' ) ? $forum_data[$j]['post_username'] . ' ' : $lang['Guest'] . ' ' ) : color_group_colorize_name($forum_data[$j]['user_id']);
#

How do I get about to use both hacks at the same time?

thanks for your help

Regards

Mick

Ok I fixed the problem by uninstalling color groups( cause i think having good seo ranking is better than colored names) but now I'm getting this error where I'm not logged in and try to view a forum:
Not Found

The requested URL /forums/forum-2.html was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

But when Im logged in and try to view the same forum it works and goes str8 to this url and works: /forums/viewforum.php?f=2

same happens with about-2,I dont know what it could be but I think it might be a clash with the Easy Sub Forums Mod. They both have to edit the same line on the index.php where it asks to replace one line with:

Code:

/* 

$last_post .= '<a><img></a>'; 

*/

Easy Sub Forums asks to replace it with:

Code:

// Modified by Easy Sub-Forums MOD



								if (strlen($forum_data[$j]['topic_title'])>=25)

								{

									$forum_data[$j]['topic_title']=substr($forum_data[$j]['topic_title'],0,25). "...";

								}



								$last_post_time = create_date($board_config['default_dateformat'], $forum_data[$j]['post_time'], $board_config['board_timezone']);



								$last_post = '' . $last_post_time . '' . '<br>';

								

								$last_post .= ( $forum_data[$j]['user_id'] == ANONYMOUS ) ? ( ($forum_data[$j]['post_username'] != '' ) ? $forum_data[$j]['post_username'] . ' ' : $lang['Guest'] . ' ' ) : '<a>' . $forum_data[$j]['username'] . '</a> <a><img></a>';

   // END Modified by Easy Sub-Forums MOD

I ended up putting:

Quote:

if (strlen($forum_data[$j]['topic_title'])>=25)
{
$forum_data[$j]['topic_title']=substr($forum_data[$j]['topic_title'],0,25). "...";
}

$last_post_time = create_date($board_config['default_dateformat'], $forum_data[$j]['post_time'], $board_config['board_timezone']);

$last_post = '' . $last_post_time . '' . '<br>';

$last_post .= ( $forum_data[$j]['user_id'] == ANONYMOUS ) ? ( ($forum_data[$j]['post_username'] != '' ) ? $forum_data[$j]['post_username'] . ' ' : $lang['Guest'] . ' ' ) : '<a>' . $forum_data[$j]['username'] . '</a> <a><img></a>';
// END Modified by Easy Sub-Forums MOD

/*
$last_post .= '<a><img></a>';
*/

could anyone please help me? Sad

Thanks
