I have noticed that after using .htaccess rewrite mod engine the forums dont allow you to enter a password on a password protected forum it just keeps telling you that the password is incorrect

1 would think this isn't being supported at all...

It isn't. I posted on another site where the creator posts. Instead of replying with a possible solution, I was told that I should only use this if I have a very good knowledge of SEO.

Sorry, a good knowledge of SEO has nothing to do with a good knowledge of PHP/mysql.

Hopefully i'm just misinterpretting, but are you getting upset over the fact I didn't help you when the first line of this modification says:

********Please do not use this modification unless you are VERY well educated on SEO and forum modification********

And many subsequent lines say it is unsupported and released under the LGPL so that the community could further develop it?

I like the idea of the hack itself and think it has lots of potential. Your other hacks work just fine with no problems and I'm using them as we speak.

I just think it would be better if you took a look at what some of the issues that people are reporting and see if they're easily fixed on your end. Otherwise, it does look unsupported.

Edit: I see the tick box for supported is unticked. So I stand corrected. It's not supported.

I understand your frustration and I'm sincerely sorry this modification has brought it on.

Do you REALLY need to use the mod_rewrite option? It's off for a reason, and that's because it doesn't do anything but make your urls a little prettier and cause lots of problems. Whereas the other aspects of this modification such as the forum by forum meta descriptions and improved archive navigation can help a lot.

Most of the "bugs" you speak of are mere incompatibilities with other hacks caused by the mod_rewrite.

I'm of the opinion that changing url structure on forums is no longer needed and can and usually does far more harm than good.

Here, "a good knowledge of SEO" refers to users asking "Hey! I installed this SEO and my hits didnt increased 93454397 more in 1 day".

If you read older pages in this thread, you can see user posts like that.

Thanks.

while it should be
http://www.yourforum.com/forum/your-title-t123.html?highlight=keyword&goto=lastpost

template search_results_postbit line 25:

Code:

                        $post[typeprefix] <a href="<if condition="$show['zointsurl']">$post[threadurl]<else />showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$post[threadid]$post[highlight]</if>"><strong>$post[threadtitle]</strong></a>

does not work. it will show a link to the forum in witch the thread is located, not the thread itself.

modification of thempate forumhome_lastpostby is useless, because there will be a redirection anyway. If you do this you just have a rewritten url redirecting to another rewritten (both having parameters). I don't see an advantage doing the modification that is sugested for this template.

if you use "go to the last posting" you will be redirected to a url like this
http://www.yourforum.com/forum/your-title-t123.html?p=470529#post470529
though the last posting might not be on page 1 the url looks like it was page one. If the last posting was on page 3 the url should be
http://www.yourforum.com/forum/your-title-t123p3.html#post470529

on online.php - if a user is currently seeing a thread in the archive, the url has no keywords and two slashes, like
http://www.yourforum.com/forum/archive//t-15828.html

"Use Zoints Archive Navigation?" -> when i use this feature, no navigation shows up at all.

My search results are not SEOed. ??
Are u using Php as module or CGI ?

Hello, any news on the sitemap generator?

I'm expanding it as we speak.
