Yes, I used mod_rewrite to change the URL's right here in this forum! Here's the code I used in my .htaccess file:
Code: Select all
RewriteEngine on

# View Category
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/c([0-9]*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?viewcat=%1  [L]

# View Forum
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/f([0-9]*)-([0-9]*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) viewforum.php?forum=%1&%2  [L]

# View Topic -- after first page
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/t([0-9]*)-([0-9]*)-([0-9]*)-([0-9]*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) viewtopic.php?topic=%1&forum=%2&start=%3&%4  [L]

# View Topic -- first page
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/t([0-9]*)-([0-9]*)-([0-9]*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) viewtopic.php?topic=%1&forum=%2&%3  [L]

This code assumes that phpBB is installed in the topmost public HTML directory. If it had been installed in, say, forum/, I would have used RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/forum/c([0-9]*), etc.

And of course, I had to modify a bunch of the phpBB code to point toward the new URL's. Comments?

Ahhh, that's the ticket. I have a dynamic site to rewrite and make search engine friendly, so that idea is just the ticket for it.

Thanks,
