dave, the board wouldn't be in there if the action=display

it would make sense to do something like this:
domain.com/boardurl/action/board || thread || other/additional_get_var-get_value/repeat.

This would make it possible for you to have as many get variables as you want.

The board does need to be there in 1.5.x....

Where is to add the code?

Code Select Expand

function ob_url_rewrite($buffer)
{
 return preg_replace(
     array('~"' . preg_quote($scripturl, '~') . '\?board=(\d+)"~', '~"' . preg_quote($scripturl, '~') . '\?board=(\d+);action=display;threadid=(\d+)"~', '~"' . preg_quote($scripturl, '~') . '\?board=(\d+);action=display;threadid=(\d+);start=(\d+)"~'),
     array('"' . $boardurl . '_\\1.html"', '"' . $boardurl . '_\\1_\\2.html"', '"' . $boardurl . '_\\1_\\2_\\3.html"'),

Yes David
that is more common url: www.domain.com/yabbse/2/210.html
but if you use mine http://www.yabbse.org/community_141_23503_0.htm
Google will give more rank to all your messages, because they seem static html pages under the first slash.

Problems?
what kind of problems?

Just thinking of what it could do to the server load if google and friends were to spider all the threads, those quick page loads in succession...

[groundup]

I think that is the point

[hprod]

Google visited my forum in a 30/50 days frequency. Never produces a overload.
But it's true the amount of visits raise INCREDIBLY, and some servers could go down soon.

I tried .htaccess for mod_rewrite before, but from what I saw, I'd need the YaBB SE board itself re-coded. Othersiw I could get static html pages as

http://www.domain.com/board/file/23/1

but the actual links would remain dynamic.

I'm going to try the .htaccess idea before, as this is something that's been bugging me for ages, and really lets YaBB SE down (would've tried Unknown's short URL's, but it's incomplete).

[I, Brian]

PS - I assume in hprod's code that "community" is the forum folder? Going to assume it is...

[hprod]

Yes it is

[I, Brian]

Hm, not working.  

RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^(.*)forum_(.*).htm $1forum/index.php?board=$2

There is no error message - simply the links are not changed.

Or are you talking about simply creating static pages to be individually submitting by manual submission?? Unless the actual board links in themselves are changed then the deep crawler (when it finally appears - it's AWOL at the moment) simply cannot index the board.

[hprod]

No,no
You can see my site: www.marianistas.org/comunidad/foros.php
or
www.marianistas.org/comunidad/index.php

Click on board and message links and you'll understand what I'm doing...
it is dinamyc conversion through mod rewrite.

Your code is good (for convertig board urls), I dont know why it doesnt work.

You have to add the output buffering code I posted.... apache won't rewrite the URLs, just incoming ones.

[hprod]

Thats right!
I modified BOardIndex, MessageIndex...
in order to produce the new URL's

It's easier to use my output buffering .
