Hi Ricky,

Thanks for your help :D

I just uploaded the new sessions.php from the link http://www.yoindia.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=189 which is the pre-modded version which is a lot easier for me and also has the MOD #2 which you recommend.

I have also set meta tags for the robots as index, follow.

My website has also already undergone SEO a few weeks back :D

I believe this is everything I now need to help my forum show up in the search engines...If I am missing something, please let me know.

Also I have created a robots.txt and put this in the /forum folder with the rest of the forum files...Is this the correct place for the robots.txt file?

Thanks for your help
Dan

I just had the same problem and finally got it working. This version of code for the page header was posted by someone else, and it works for me:

Code:

ob_start(); 

function replace_for_mod_rewrite(&$s) { 
// get the correct base_url: protocoll,url,path to make sure to rewrite only internal links 
if (empty($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'])) { 
   $server = getenv('HTTP_HOST'); 
} else { 
   $server = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST']; 
} 
// IIS sets HTTPS=off 
if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTPS']) && $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTPS'] != 'off') { 
   $proto = 'https://'; 
} else { 
   $proto = 'http://'; 
} 
// Get the name of this URI 
// Start of with REQUEST_URI 
if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REQUEST_URI'])) { 
   $path = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REQUEST_URI']; 
} else { 
   $path = getenv('REQUEST_URI'); 
} 
if ((empty($path)) || (substr($path, -1, 1) == '/')) { 
   // REQUEST_URI was empty or pointed to a path 
   // Try looking at PATH_INFO 
   $path = getenv('PATH_INFO'); 
   if (empty($path)) { 
      // No luck there either 
      // Try SCRIPT_NAME 
      if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_NAME'])) { 
         $path = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_NAME']; 
      } else { 
         $path = getenv('SCRIPT_NAME'); 
      } 
   } 
} 

$path = preg_replace('/[#\?].*/', '', $path); 
$path = dirname($path); 

if (preg_match('!^[/\\\]*$!', $path)) { 
   $path = ''; 
} 

$base_url = "$proto$server$path/"; 
$prefix = '|"(?:'.$base_url.')?'; 
// now that we know about the correct $prefix we can start the rewriting 

$urlin = 
array( 
$prefix . '(?<!/)index.php"|', 
$prefix . '(?<!/)viewforum.php\?f=([0-9]*)&(?:amp;)topicdays=([0-9]*)&(?:amp;)start=([0-9]*)"|', 
$prefix . '(?<!/)viewforum.php\?f=([0-9]*)"|', 
$prefix . '(?<!/)viewtopic.php\?t=([0-9]*)&(?:amp;)view=previous"|', 
$prefix . '(?<!/)viewtopic.php\?t=([0-9]*)&(?:amp;)view=next"|', 
$prefix . '(?<!/)viewtopic.php\?t=([0-9]*)&(?:amp;)postdays=([0-9]*)&(?:amp;)postorder=([a-zA-Z]*)&(?:amp;)start=([0-9]*)"|', 
$prefix . '(?<!/)viewtopic.php\?t=([0-9]*)&(?:amp;)start=([0-9]*)&(?:amp;)postdays=([0-9]*)&(?:amp;)postorder=([a-zA-Z]*)&(?:amp;)highlight=([a-zA-Z0-9]*)"|', 
$prefix . '(?<!/)viewtopic.php\?t=([0-9]*)&(?:amp;)start=([0-9]*)"|', 
$prefix . '(?<!/)viewtopic.php\?t=([0-9]*)"|', 
); 
$urlout = array( 
'"forums.html"', 
'"viewforum\\1-\\2-\\3.html"', 
'"forum\\1.html"', 
'"ptopic\\1.html"', 
'"ntopic\\1.html"', 
'"ftopic\\1-\\2-\\3-\\4.html"', 
'"ftopic\\1.html"', 
'"ftopic\\1-\\2.html"', 
'"ftopic\\1.html"', 
); 

$s = preg_replace($urlin, $urlout, $s); 
return $s; 
}

Also, I used the premodded sessions.php that is previously mentioned in this topic.

Finally, the .htaccess code doesn't go into your site root. It should be a seperate .htaccess in your FORUM root. In my case, that file only contains this code, nothing else:

Code:

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteRule ^forums.*$ index.php  
RewriteRule ^forum([0-9]*).*$ viewforum.php?f=$1&mark=topic  
RewriteRule ^viewforum([0-9]*)-([0-9]*)-([0-9]*).*$ viewforum.php?f=$1&topicdays=$2&start=$3 
RewriteRule ^forum([0-9]*).*$ viewforum.php?f=$1 
RewriteRule ^ptopic([0-9]*).*$ viewtopic.php?t=$1&view=previous 
RewriteRule ^ntopic([0-9]*).*$ viewtopic.php?t=$1&view=next 
RewriteRule ^ftopic([0-9]*)-([0-9]*)-([a-zA-Z]*)-([0-9]*).*$ viewtopic.php?t=$1&postdays=$2&postorder=$3&start=$4 
RewriteRule ^ftopic([0-9]*)-([0-9]*).*$ viewtopic.php?t=$1&start=$2 
RewriteRule ^ftopic([0-9]*).*$ viewtopic.php?t=$1 
RewriteRule ^ftopic([0-9]*).html$ viewtopic.php?t=$1&start=$2&postdays=$3&postorder=$4&highlight=$5 
RewriteRule ^sutra([0-9]*).*$ viewtopic.php?p=$1

On the other hand, the changes to the robots.txt file should be added to the robots.txt file in your SITE root.

It took me a few hours to get all this working on one of my smaller phpBB sites. Now I guess I'll try it on the largest site (which has a lot more mods :? )

phpBB and sessions ID, Search Engine optimization technique

«Reply #19 on: April 13, 2004, 07:29:25 AM »

I just had a user of my forums (http://kiwirant.com) report a problem - the next link for forums and threads doesn't work, and neither do the direct page jump links (1, 2, 3, next).

Check it out on these pages: Forum, topic.

The parameters after the .html are being passed, but for some reason they're not being picked up by scripts. Has anyone one run into this before? If not, would anyone have any ideas about where to start looking for a solution?

I love that google and other engines index my site, but not at the expense of users being able to access the whole site. Thanks for any ideas Usual Smile

The code I posted above incorporates a fix for that problem. Those features work fine on my site.

Thoughts on mod_rewrite

«Reply #22 on: April 13, 2004, 04:16:20 PM »

I really think the mod_write concept is a great idea but I have a few thoughts about it. Someone mentioned a site where you can simulate how a spider analyzes your site ( http://www.submitexpress.com/analyzer/ ). I tried entering the URL to my phpBB index.php page and checked out the results.

The mod_rewrite does seem to be working. Forums and Topics now have .html extensions. However, some of the results of this test concern me.

For example, the spider is going through all the member profiles despite the fact that I have this line in robots.txt:

Code:

Disallow: /phpBB2/profile.php

It's also reporting a ton of links from postings_popup.php (another mod that I tried to disallow). So is the analyzer not obeying robots.txt or do I have the settings wrong?

Also, and I think this may be a greater concern, the spider is finding all the direct links to individual replies, such as:

Code:

......viewtopic.php?p=3866#3866

But these links aren't being converted to .html files. Shouldn't they be, since they lead directly to real content? And the fact is, these direct links greatly outnumber the individual topic links since every topic can have multiple replies.

Any comments on this would be welcome!

Well, Here problem is that your apache is not configured to read your .htaccess file. either change allowoverride none to all or ask your host to do changes for u!

Is there a "pre-packaged" distribution of a spiderable version of phpBB available to download right now?

Well... I don't know about spiderable .. but there are heavily moded phpbb available.. like phpbb.de

Anyway.. to make spiderable the easiest is sid removal mode and that works great .. if you want you can simply replace your existing sessions.php with the moded one available in this site at Premoded SID removal for phpBB

Hi, few questions

«Reply #28 on: January 15, 2011, 03:10:28 AM »

Bit of history for you 1st - C was invented inside the 70s by Dennis Ritchie, by the 80s it had turn into incredibly popular and a book (known as the C programming language) was published by Ritchie and Kernighan which acted as an informal standard (known as K&R C.) Throughout the 80s ANSI were working towards a formal standard, which appeared in 1989 called C89. Some finetuning was done in 1990 and a new standard, C90 was published.

All good - until 1999, when another version of the standard was published, called C99. Why is this a problem? Well whilst compilers implement C90, none implement the whole of the C99 standard. You, may well be thinking that C99 isn't all that important then - wrong, C99 allows us to do things such as declare variables throughout the code and use the C++ (//) style comment... but whilst many compilers do support these, none promise to support all aspects of the standard. I have often wondered why.

As an aside, there is some work towards a new standard, not sure if/when it will be released though - its informally called "C1x"
