cool mod, I love it , google loves it and
above all it is a handy tool to point to a specific post if the other posts are not all that important!

Thanks Kellanved!

Demo:
phpBBModders :: View Single Post
This version is modified, and doesn't have a header (that will be an addon in the next version), plus some mods applied...

I'll put together some code changes for you folks asap

EDIT: Here they are...

Actually we even threw in an extra 'l', free of charge. (there seems to be a typo in the PM)

Thanks for pointing it out. It wasn't the only typo, lol.

Are you sure? I think the mod creates duplicate content.

Sincerely

The duplicate content exist also in vergin versions of phpBB and can be avoided in robots.txt with a single line

Code: Select all

Disallow: /viewtopic.php?p=

A suggestion: Isn't it better to have links to other posts of the thread?

More details on how this would work, and what it's good for. I don't understand the point (yet)

kulinar · Post by **kulinar** » Sat Aug 19, 2006 8:04 pm

You know the thread consists of one or more posts. When I visit a post, I would probably want to read the preceding post of the thread or the first post, for example. IT would be nice if there is a link tree to posts or something similar. Hope you got the point now.

Just curious what the no-header add-on is for?

igorw · Post by **igorw** » Sat Sep 16, 2006 1:57 pm

kulinar: There is a link to the thread / topic. This should be enough imo

tony44: That Addon will remove the "overall_header" (.tpl) and use simple_header.tpl instead. This means that the links and the logo will not show up
