phpBB SEO Mixed mod Rewrite

Support for this mod is provided in the Mixed mod Rewrite forum.
Release thread : phpBB SEO Mixed mod Rewrite V 0.2.4.

With this mod, phpBB URL will transformed this way :

index.php?c=xx => cat-title-cxx.html

viewforum.php?t=xx => forum-title-fxx.html

viewforum.php?t=xx&start=xx => forum-title-fxx-yy.html

viewtopic.php?t=xx => topicxx.html

viewtopic.php?t=xx&start=xx => topicxx-yy.html

viewtopic.php?p=xx => postxx.html

profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=xx => memberxx.html

It will not output any pagination duplicates.

URL rewriting is performed without using ob_start() nor adding any SQL.

The process is optimized, titles are formatted once, even if the url is called many times.
Short URL feature :

As for the phpBB SEO Advanced mod Rewrite everything in topic title in between "[" and "]" won't be injected in URL, but this feature is less useful here.
Example :
This Forum title : "[SOMETHING] The Forum Title" will correspond to this URL : "the-forum-title-vfxx.html"

Bad Title handling :

Almost useless here, but still.
Example :
This Forum title : """"??Very bad title handling"[hehe]!!!" will correspond to this URL : "very-bad-title-handling-vfxx.html"

This mod is and will be compatible to all phpBB SEO modules, specific install instructions may apply.


Char-sets :

This version supports all the char-sets supported by htmlentities().
For all these char-set, the mod rewrite will only inject the possible ASCII Chars, after removing all accents, available in the titles.

For example : "نرم افزار - Software" will be formated prior to injection in the following way : "software".
Please read the phpBB SEO Mixed mod Rewrite V 0.2.4 for more details.

Migrating :

If you are migration, eg if your forum is already indexed using different URLs, you'll have to use another robots.txt and install the zero duplicate.
The migrating procedure will allow you to migrate and keep your previously indexed pages. Older links will be HTTP 301 redirected to the new ones. It is rather simple, but the solution depends on cases.
Let's meet in the Mixed mod Rewrite forum.
