using the names in the URL is simple... Basically have the rewrite completely ignore the text after the f-28 then you can have f-28-Iamthekingof_myownworld.html if you want and all that it cares to parse is the f-28

Well it will spider much better if the forum names where in the URL.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...=Google+Search

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...ro&btnG=Search

These are examples from my forum, using the mod from Dani's tutorial with a few corrections.

This is the only content that is in my .htaccess file:

I dont have to add a new line everytime I add a forum, the changes in Dani's mod already does that, with some help of another poster of there at her forums named Ted. I am willing to help anyone that needs it, just IM or PM me

It is really easy to put in place

Is this what you were asking, so you dont have to change the htaccess everytime you add or delete a forum

its this line here that does it
RewriteRule ^f([0-9]+)-(.*).html$ forumdisplay.php?forumid=$1 [L]
the * means don't do any form of parsing of that :)

Thanks, i got it to work. Now im making it so threads are in the html. Like http://mysite.com/t-71.Spider-Friendly-URL-hack.html. and having it cut it out with long URLS.

what i have to do im Templates??

Template forumhome_lastpostby
What exactly do I have to change? Because the Sessionid is also important! :rolleyes:

Hi all, i´ve like this hack.

A little question, i´ve replace the link on a forumhome last topics template:

OLD WAS
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]threadid=$thread[threadid]" title="$thread[preview]"><strong>$thread[title]</strong></a>
<em>$vbphrase[last_post]:</em> $thread[date]

NEW CODE

<a href="t-$thread[threadid]-$thread[title].html" title="$thread[preview]"><strong>$thread[title]</strong></a>
<em>$vbphrase[last_post]:</em> $thread[date]

Problem, the thread title was:
Willkommen, gabby
He makes: t-9020-Willkommen,%20gabby!.html

I don´t like ",%" on the url

Psycho Beat Project would be:
t-9019-Psycho%20Beat%20Project.html

I want replace signs like "" "," "." or "/20" with a "-" sign.

Example t-9019-Psycho-Beat-Project.html or much better
Psycho-Beat-Project.html

Update: I´ve created a $ttitle with replace string the signs like "!"...

I think it´s not the best way, because i must replace also $lastthread strings like "!" on the forumhome...

this is one of the most best hack i ever seen

i will start using it right now and i hope we could do the rest also so owre site's will be all from a to z HTML pages

i have a website that i made is spider friendly
it's 4images
