In this tutorials I want to explain how you can optimize search engine results by using SEO friendly URL's for articles, news and the photogallery. Based on the SEO mod by web-bureau.com we can easily transform the ugly readarticle.php?article_id=x URL's.

With this tutorial you can implant the SEO friendly URL mod to your articles, news and photogallery. I will explain how to convert your files OR you can simply download the pre-modded files. (located in the article footer)

If you are going to install all SEO mods, you only have to do step 1 and 3 once.

If you run in any problems, take a look here.

<b>Requirements:</b>

- Seoname.php
- PHP-Fusion 6.01.10 or higher. _{(probably works on lower version too but only tested with this version and higher)}
- .htaccess support on your server.

SEO friendly links for Articles.php (example: http://www.underground3k.com/articles.php )

Step 1

Download Seoname.php and upload that file to your includes folder.

Step 2

Create a new .htaccess file OR open yours if you already got one and paste the following code in it: ## SEO friendly URL by web-bureau.com ## Provided by PHPfusion-mods.net ## Use this if Fusion is installed in your root directory RewriteBase / ## Use the following if Fusion is not installed on your root directory ## RewriteBase /<fusion_path>/ RewriteEngine On ## Articles RewriteRule ^(.*)-a([0-9]*).htm$ readarticle.php?article_id=$2 [L,NC] ## Article categories RewriteRule ^(.*)-d([0-9]*).htm$ articles.php?cat_id=$2 [L,NC] If your Fusion isn't in the root, replace 'RewriteBase' to 'RewriteBase /<fusion_path>/' (where <fusion_path> is the folder name).

Step 3

Open Maincore.php and find: '?>' Above, add the following: // Search engine friendly URLs // http://www.web-bureau.com/php-fusion-cms-c1.htm require_once INCLUDES."seoname.php";

Step 4

Open articles.php (original one) and search for: (line 27) <a href='".FUSION_SELF."?cat_id=".$data['article_cat_id']."'>".$data['article_cat_name']."</a> Replace with: <a href='".seoname($data['article_cat_name'])."-d".$data['article_cat_id'].".htm'>".$data['article_cat_name']."</a> Find: <a href='readarticle.php?article_id=".$data['article_id']."'>".$data['article_subject']."</a> And replace with: <a href='".seoname($data['article_subject'])."-a".$data['article_id'].".htm'>".$data['article_subject']."</a> Save articles.php and upload it.

End

Everything should work now, if you run in trouble, recheck the steps above. If you still have problems, see the support thread .
