Re: Google Bots not Working Correctly?

Google seems to be storing urls with sids still.. and I see a TON that are:

"viewforum.php?f=#&mark=topics"

Which will just mark the topics read if you click it.

Re: PhpBB 3 portals

LOL.

I encountered the problem and created a solution. (see editing assign_vars) I don't need documentation. These modifications are not supported by phpBB this thread should be locked.

I can't use relative linking when relatively linking to another file which links to a file in another folder ...

Re: PhpBB 3 portals

Well.

Not exactly.. all the files still use $phpbb_root_path to generate the links to places in the templates. Perhaps they can all be changed to $script_path? As it is the more logical choice as long as its there now.

Re: PhpBB 3 portals

Looks like $script_path has been re-introduced. So you could now do this for the top apparently.

<?php
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
define('IN_SITE', true);
$root_path = '/home/blah/blah/htdocs'; //change to '.' if you want.
$script_path = '/forums/';
$phpbb_root_path = $root_path.$script_path ...

Re: need to update my phpbb2...thinking of beta 4 :)

You guys are all mixed up.

There is an upgrade from BETA 3 to BETA 4.

That is all.

You will not be supported if you use Beta 4 in a live enviourment. If you screw up your site its your own fault. You cannot upgrade from v2. to v3 beta 4 officially yet..

Re: BOT Style

I have a bot style applied for my site (on the actual site, not the forums yet) using phpBBv3. It basically strips down all the graphics and tables, and makes it most information possible, with as little to get in the way.. so far I have noticed good results with Google.. it has thousands of my ...

Re: spamming on members list


My 2.x board has this problem too. I resorted to simply running a script now and then that deletes any member with fewer than 10 posts and a URL in their profile (they're warned about this in the T&C acceptance page). Works well enough.


I tend to go through an delete people with webpages and ...
