HTML vb3 forum http://daniweb.com/techtalkforums

[deathemperor]

I always wish to have pages like http://daniweb.com/techtalkforums , where all are html.

I'm eager to know what that is, I don't think it's using mod_rewrite, isn't it ?

forumdisplay.html?f=1 is total different with forum1.html

Any one have ideas how to make it ?

interesting

so the purpose of using html pages is to make your sites search engine friendly ?

and using that tutorial I still have to edit my vb3 php files to make/install hack right ?

I ask too many cuz I haven't tried it before T_T

1. Correct, search engines love static pages more than dynamic ones.

2. Also correct.

It also makes them more human-readable. An example from my site:

Really the only necessary thing is to have either the forumid or threadid in there. You'll also have to add a <base href="..." /> to your header because you're emulating virtual directories.

You can get rid of the forumid, but adding forums will not be automated. You definitely can't get rid of the threadid.

Hey there fellas. I just want to give you an update on the DaniWeb mod_rewrite hack - I've updated it to what DaniWeb is currently using, in a whole new tutorial. There is support for multiple pages, Who's Online (no more Unknown locations!), previous / next threads, linear / hybrid / threaded modes, and much more! Enjoy :)

This is an old thread, and sounds like what I'm looking for but will this work for the current version of vb? I'm running 3.7.1..

This changes the forum, but is there any rewrite that needs to be done for vBa?
