Wow. It's fixed except that people just want to cut and paste, so no one reads through the 7 pages of posts. It's not a vb hack that someone support. It's a "tutorial." but it does work. And you can't say it doesn't if you've never tried it.

boiboi,

Don't jump to conclusions. I've put together a phpBB2 style mod instruction set that not only takes into account the 7 pages of posts in the Revised Dani thread, but also the original Dani thread (21 pages) and the post at The Admin Zone. I've done all those fixes and still have problems.

If you have it implemented, does your merge threads work? How about the link to go to last post?

I have vb 3.0.7 not sure if it works for phpbb

It is a vB mod but just in the phpBB2 mod format.

It is a disaster here, all links are bad.
I got links like http://www.dssftp.com/forum/f71-.html
Obviously the "-" is n the wrong place or something.

It helps if you don't do this at 4am in the morning.
I forgot to upload the modified PHP files.
It is working fine, will test for bugs tomorrow.

You can use conditionals around to Keith's Mod-write hack to restrict its implementation to guest only... just check out my website... i have installed this hack succesfully (username:test, password: test).

Have a look at the Site Navigation Menu (left hand side)... as a guest, you would see some links with .html extensions but as soon as you login... the same links convert to .php extensions... and my google ranking are also improving dramatically after i implemented this modification... :)

i am planning on using conditionals around every modification suggested by Keith...

Regards

in that Kieth's thread on daniweb... the .htaccess file in the packaged in the hack thread is wrong... if you read through the 2-3 pages under that thread, there is another .htaccess file provided which worked perfectly for me.

Would you kindly post an example of the conditional statement you used? Also, I would appreciate it if you would post the .htaccess you used.

It is possible to modify the links of the posts?
Like this:
www.mysite.com/post_title_1
and not:
www.mysite.com/showthread.php?...

Hi agiacosa :)

I have used basic vB conditionals system, for example :
(I preassume that that Keiths Modification are working for you)

<if condition="$show['member']">
> <b><a href=/sikhphilosophy/forumdisplay.php?f=132>Articles</a></b><br />
<else />
> <b><a href=/sikhphilosophy/f132-spn-articles-section.html>Articles Section</a></b><br />
</if>



The .htacess file that did the trick for me was :


I hope it works for you all.

Regards

Thank you.

Are you able to merge threads?

Also, the mod requires changes to php files. Did you do the conditionals there too?
