SEO friendly links for the standard PHP-Fusion forum

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

## Forum categories
RewriteRule ^(.*)-fc([0-9]*).([0-9]*).htm$ forum/viewforum.php?forum_id=$2&rowstart=$3 [L,NC]

## Forum threads
RewriteRule ^(.*)-fc([0-9]*)-ft([0-9]*).htm$ forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=$2&thread_id=$3 [L,NC]

## Forum threads and posts
RewriteRule ^(.*)-fc([0-9]*)-ft([0-9]*)-fp([0-9]*).htm$ forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=$2&thread_id=$3&p_id=$4 [L,NC]

## Forum threads and pagation
RewriteRule ^(.*)-fc([0-9]*)-ft([0-9]*).([0-9]*).htm$ forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=$2&thread_id=$3&rowstart=$4 [L,NC]

## Forum threads and pagation and posts
RewriteRule ^(.*)-fc([0-9]*)-ft([0-9]*).([0-9]*)-fp([0-9]*).htm$ forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=$2&thread_id=$3&rowstart=$4&p_id=$5 [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 forum/index.php and search for: _{(line 61)}

Replace with:

Your now finished with editing the forum/index.php file. Save it and re-upload the file.

Step 5

Open forum/viewforum.php and search for: _{(line 94)}

Replace with:

Find _{(line 98)}:

And replace with:

Find _{(line 139)}:

And replace with:

Find _{(line 143)}:

And replace with:

Your now finished with editing the forum/viewforum.php file. Save it and re-upload the file.

Step 6

Open forum/viewthread.php and search for: _{(line 42)}

Replace with:

Save forum/viewthread.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 .

I am now trying to optimize the ?lookup also but I will make a package now and give you the link

Code:

##Profile
RewriteRule ^(.*)-profile-([0-9]*).htm$ profile.php?lookup=$2 [L]

Code:

Code:

if ($rowstart == 0) {
$result = dbquery(
"SELECT t.*, COUNT(p.post_id) AS thread_replies, tu1.user_name AS user_author, tu2.user_name AS user_lastuser FROM ".$db_prefix."threads t
LEFT JOIN ".$db_prefix."posts p USING(thread_id)
LEFT JOIN ".$db_prefix."users tu1 ON t.thread_author = tu1.user_id
LEFT JOIN ".$db_prefix."users tu2 ON t.thread_lastuser = tu2.user_id
WHERE t.forum_id='$forum_id' AND thread_sticky='1' GROUP BY thread_id ORDER BY thread_lastpost DESC"
);
if (dbrows($result) != 0) {
while ($data = dbarray($result)) {
if ($data['thread_locked']) {
echo "<tr>\n<td align='center' width='25' class='tbl2'><img src='".THEME."forum/folderlock.gif' alt='".$locale['564']."'></td>";
} else {
if ($data['thread_lastpost'] > $lastvisited) {
$folder = "<img src='".THEME."forum/foldernew.gif' alt='".$locale['560']."'>";
} else {
$folder = "<img src='".THEME."forum/folder.gif' alt='".$locale['561']."'>";
}
echo "<tr>\n<td align='center' width='25' class='tbl2'>$folder</td>";
}
$reps = ceil($data['thread_replies'] / $threads_per_page);
$threadsubject = "<a href='".seoname($data['thread_subject'])."-fc".$forum_id."-ft".$data['thread_id'].".htm'>".$data['thread_subject']."</a>";
if ($reps > 1) {
$ctr = 0; $ctr2 = 1; $pages = "";
while ($ctr2 <= $reps) {
$pnum = "<a href='".seoname($data['thread_subject'])."-fc".$forum_id."-ft".$data['thread_id'].".".$ctr.".htm'>$ctr2</a> ";
$pages = $pages.$pnum; $ctr = $ctr + $threads_per_page; $ctr2++;
}
$threadsubject .= " - (".$locale['412'].trim($pages)."

";
}
echo "<td class='tbl1'><img src='".THEME."forum/stickythread.gif' alt='".$locale['560']."' style='vertical-align:middle;'>
