Auto update package 3.0.0 to 3.0.1Automatic Update PackageThis update package for the automatic updater, contains the changes from previous release to this release.
To update with this package, just upload the install/ folder with it's content to your phpBB3 installation root and browse yourdomain.com/phpBB3/install/index.php?mode=update to start the update procedure.
Translations Update :Both French and English language pack are included by default in the auto update and changed file package.
In case you are not using the french language pack at all, you can safely ignore updates of the French language files. Leaving it on your ftp and let the updater update it is of course not a problem.
Please note for update : The update will require some additional set up and .htaccess update.
Your forum URLs will stay exactly the same, but there are new options to URL rewrite the profiles and User Messages search pages.
User Messages search pages will change :
We decided to go for a better url structure and to as well hanlde the sr (showresults, can be topics or posts in search results) option.
It's no big deal, but if you update, you'll need to keep the previous rewriterule you had in your .htaccess for user messages pages.
To do so, make a copy of your current .htaccess, generate a new one once you've updated, and then grab the rewriterule you had in your old .htaccess after :
- Code: Select all
# USER MESSAGES
(note, the comment line is longer)
and copy it after :
- Code: Select all
# HERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO ADD OTHER PHPBB RELATED REWRITERULES
in your new .htaccess and the zero duplicate will do the rest 
Before you do so, you can change the way search user pages are rewrtten if you wish, if you as well change the profile URLs, then you'll need to keep the old profile rewriterule the same way in your new .htaccess.
If you encounter some difficulties to update the phpbb_seo_class.php file, for example if you modded it, you will just have to use the new file and edit it to re enter your previous customisations (static part & delimiters).
Once you will have updated, you will have to refresh your theme's cache as well as phpBB's cache (ACP => STYLE, Themes => Refresh).
