[MOD] Search Engine Friendly (SEO) URLs 1.0.0 RC4

[Shadow_One]

Simply copy-paste the entire code to a file called functions_seo.php and overwrite the existing file in includes folder

[AllTheseBooks]

And this functions_seo.php is where?

[Shadow_One]

In includes folder.

Found the file. I must seem like an idiot, but where are the full instruction on how to install this?

Hi, Handyman.
Firs thanks for the mod.

I have questiona about SEO an google:
The SEO MOD really help to progress in google?
If so, why sites like "startrekguide" "phpbb" and more doesn't make use with seo?

And what the different between seo mod and make rules in .htaccess?
The last,

Hi,

I have an problem within this. I am using your Seo-Mod and Highway of Live 's AdvancedMetaTag-Mod both in my Forum.

I will explain the error after my screenshots.

Forum Page Caps 1: Looking to the 1st page link for the topic. It is ending with ".php"


Forum Page Caps 2: Looking to the 2st page link for the topic. It is ending with ".php"


Topic Page 1: Looking to the 2st page link for the topic. It is ending with ".html"


Topic Page 2: Looking to the 1st page link for the topic. It is ending with ".html"


As seen in the screenshots in the Forum "Konu D???" is an Topic named "Deneme Ba?l?k" that contains 2 pages of posts. When I want to enter it via Topic name I got no error and get into the topic. But when I want enter via the page number 's ( little red boxes in screenshots ) I get an 404 page because the link reffers to an seo page ending with ".php".

3th and 4th screenshots are for the Topic page. After I entered the topic via Topic Name I have looked for the page number link 's ( again little red boxes in screenshots ) and got the answer for seo page ending with ".html" and I can switch the pages without any error. Also is it here right.

I have checked again over 4-5 times the changed files, have purged the chache many times etc. etc. but I can't solve this error alone.
The only different point in the changed pages is that I must add an code for AdvancedMetaTag-Mod from Highway of Live.
It must be so:

Code: Select all

page_header($topic_data['topic_title']);

I have maked it:

Code: Select all

page_header($topic_data['topic_title'], true, $first_post_text);

The

Code: Select all

, true, $first_post_text

part from the 2nd codes is from AdvancedMetaTag-Mod.

Thanks already for any help

Hi,

great work with this mod! Some stuff is yet to be fixed, and here's one:

"Mark all forums as read" doesn't work when this MOD is installed. To fix it, change the following files and lines.

Spoiler:

in includes/functions_seo.php

search for this:

Code: Select all

$url_delim = (strpos($url, $append . '-') === false) ? '-' : $amp_delim;

add after:

Code: Select all

   
//:ADDED: exanto.de for "mark all forums as read"
if (strpos($url, 'index.php') !== false)
{
  $url_delim = '?';
}


in /index.php

search for this:

Code: Select all

'U_MARK_FORUMS'      => ($user->data['is_registered'] || $config['load_anon_lastread']) ? append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}index.$phpEx", 'mark=forums') : '',

replace with:

Code: Select all

'U_MARK_FORUMS'      => ($user->data['is_registered'] || $config['load_anon_lastread']) ? append_seo_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}index.$phpEx", 'mark=forums') : '',

I don't know exactly if this interferes with other SEO Urls, but my tests went fine so far.

Hope this helps!

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /homepages/32/d242846212/htdocs/forums/viewtopic.php on line 1651
