Mr Handyman need to update the download file for RC4 version in the first page. I just uninstalled the mod as I encountered errors eventhough some of the errors can be solved. Will mod again for RC4 tomorrow. Hopefully below errors can be solved:

1. Address link in the topic email reply notification
2. "Mark forums read" in frontpage link: http://www.bettasocietymalaysia.com.my/ ... ark=forums

First, some details:
The way I have my forum in my database is this:
Root/_____
With the "____" being my forum's directories and scripts.

Now, here's my issues:
1. when I first installed this mod, I tried to go to my site test.com/index.php but I was rerouted to test.com which showed up blank..

I saw some people having issues with the mod rerouting the index to their portal so I tried their fix.. Seemed to work.. Now when I am in the ACP and click return to index, I get a 404 error.. (Because I renamed the index.php to forum.php)

2. When I go to a forum within the site, I get rerouted back to my newly named forum.php and it doesn't seem to be using the .css anymore.. So in otherwords, it seems broke..

I will be uninstalling this mod sadly. Could anyone help me for a future attempt?

No help at all?

I uninstalled it backwards and it allowed me to access the index.php when I uninstalled includes/functions.php
---

I have installed this mod successful previously on a test board that was using a subdomain.

Hi - just munching through the installation. I'm using 3.0.4 and not 3.0.0 which I think was the release that SEO MOD was tested against? Anyway, a couple of code fragments don't match, and I wondered whether I should your replacement or do I need to modify it?

viewforum.php:

Find:

Code: Select all

'U_VIEW_FORUM' => append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}viewforum.$phpEx", "f=$forum_id&$u_sort_param&start=$start"),
'U_MARK_TOPICS' => ($user->data['is_registered'] || $config['load_anon_lastread']) ? append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}viewforum.$phpEx", "f=$forum_id&mark=topics") : '',

Replace with:

Code: Select all

'U_VIEW_FORUM' => format_url($forum_name, "f$forum_id", $start, $u_sort_param),
'U_MARK_TOPICS' => ($user->data['is_registered'] || $config['load_anon_lastread']) ? format_url($forum_name, "f$forum_id", 0, 'mark=topics') : '',

the lines I think the match should be with is:

Code: Select all

'U_VIEW_FORUM' => append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}viewforum.$phpEx", "f=$forum_id" . ((strlen($u_sort_param)) ? "&$u_sort_param" : '') . "&start=$start"),
'U_MARK_TOPICS' => ($user->data['is_registered'] || $config['load_anon_lastread']) ? append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}viewforum.$phpEx", 'hash=' . generate_link_hash('global') . "&f=$forum_id&mark=topics") : '',

also, there is a
FIND:

Code: Select all

'S_FORUM_ACTION' => append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}viewforum.$phpEx", "f=$forum_id&start=$start"),

and add not replace with:

Code: Select all

'S_FORUM_ACTION' => format_url($forum_name, "f$forum_id", $start),

Thanks!

Installed this MOD to phpbb 3.0.4. It seems works fine, but I noticed few problems.
When you open thread you see topic title. In this case it's "SEO MOD". Link to this topic is /viewtopic.php?f=69&t=691165&start=0
Same with Forums. In this case forum title "[3.0.x] MOD Database Releases" . Link /viewforum.php?f=69&start=0

But with SEO MOD link is /seo-mod.html- and Forum link is /mod-database-releases.html-. As you see there is - (minus) at the end. And because of this, when I click that link I get 404 error... If I delete that -(minus) manually page opens. So this is bug or I made something wrong ?

Thanks.

15 mts to install? 15 minutes? Ok, thats a tad off. I timed it at 47 minutes and that was with no distractions and copy and pasting fast enough not to be reckless.

Anyhow, I have a erro after all of that, go figure. PhpBB3.0.4

When viewing a post I get this error.

Code: Select all

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/my_big_gay_non_functioning_website/public_html/viewtopic.php on line 1708

I have gone over the viewtopic .php a few times but at this point I must be crosseyed.

You might could try Notepad ++ to direct you to the exact line that is causing the issue. Notepad++ has all the lines numbered so it should be an easy find.

I haven't gotten a response for my issue that I posted almost a week ago.. So your best bet is to try to research it yourself.

If you want to, PM me the viewtopic.php script to me.. I can look at it if you are still tired of looking at it..

I'm comfortable with editing large quantities of text. I use TextMate for mac so location and editing is far from my issue.

The funny part is the error is pointing to the closing php. ?>

I will just have to do a backup of the file and re-do all the edits one by one in this file and test after each edit.

I work with Joomla and vBulletin, and I was just angry and upset at how a lot of things need to be hacked into phpBB that are seemingly common features. It's just annoying to be up at 2 am tying to get SEO to work for 2 hours when it's a part of most cores's nowadays.

Thanks for your offer MudJosh, but it's my fight. I'll not let this thing beat me.

Any update on forwarding previous dynamic links to new static links, otherwise there is a big risk of being punished for duplicate content

wow! i always try and quickly read through all the discussion on a particular mod before i install it, seems that this mod is full of errors that have not been fixed...

is this correct?

is the author still supporting this mod?

i do not want to install a mod where i have to do 20 fixes by looking through the discussion and trying to work it out.

can i just say - if this mod does have this many errors it should not have been released!!! (my 2 cents)

please let me know, cheers.

I do believe I sent the ModAuthor a PM asking him what he was doing with this Mod but have had no reply

Hi Everybody,

I having trouble with Google after installing this MOD.
Google indexing no Topics, i found some Errormessages in Google Webmaster Tools:

I don't know why, but Google search for URLs with ".php"

F.e.:

http://www.forum.com/forum/ein-paar-bilder--t204s0.php 404 (Nicht gefunden) 08.02.2009

If i correct the URL manually in the Browser (http://www.forum.com/forum/ein-paar-bilder--t204s0.html)
it work's perfekt. Don't know how Google gets .php from?

Can anybody help me? (Sorry for bad english, its not my native language)

Edit: I fixed all from this Thread:
http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... 5#p5716395
But nothing helps.

PHPBB Version: 3.0.2

Greetings

hardy
