Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe :
If I have configured my site to use virtual folders for forums and I visit one, let's say /trade/, the redirection works fine. Great. how about adding some parameters for sorting etc.? So if I go to /trade/?st=1, it correctly takes me to the filtered page, that's good. However, when I try and use custom parameters, let's say /trade/?sold=1, it always deleted this parameter and redirects me to /trade/ no matter what I do. I've looked hard at the htaccess, but there is nothing in there that makes this redirect happen, which suggests that it's in the extensions actual controller to ignore parameters unless they are 'st', 'sk', or 'd' (the standard phpBB ones).

Describe the solution you'd like :
I would like a FIND/REPLACE way of disabling this restriction, so that when I visit my URL with its custom parameter: /trade/?sold=1, I won't be redirected back to /trade/ every time. I want it to actually go through to /trade/?sold=1. The extension is always rewriting the parameter though. Can I get rid of this?

Describe alternatives you've considered :
I've looked through the core files and can see that this is where the issue lies - it seems to be hard coded into the ext to only allow the default parameters to go through and not custom ones.

Any ideas guys?

Hello everyone.

I am very new to this software. PLEASE. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have installed phpbb 3.3.8 and I am trying to use the July 2021 USU SEO Plugin

Everything installs correctly but i am not sure if i am using the plugin correctly.

When i activate the plugin and copy my htaccess file to the root, my website works up to the home page.
Once I click on a forum or a member name it says "this page cannot be found"

from here on i am stuck and I would appreciate some help. I have been working with this plugin for the last 3 days but cant seem how to use it correctly.

Thank you very much for your time. :)

There is good tutorial on your extension. It starts at 1:47:33 youtube link If you like it, you can add link in README. Thanks for creating it.

I've put into the ext directory and the project won't show up in phpbb extensions panel to enable.

Getting an error when

• not connected
• clicking on a user profile in a post
• redirected to login page
  then getting the error below

According to the extension code it seems when analyzing the redirect url it is not able to identify if this is https or http (our forum is in https)

Hello there,
I have a problem on my forum with usernames containing symbols such as ™.
I got "Username does not exist".
Any ideas what may cause this? Thanks!

we do not need have "URL rewriting type" in future

we have now 3 type:
1- advanced
2- Simple
3- Mixed

Are there any sitemap plugins available for PHP BB 3.2?

htaccess codes is here
improving ACP "Server Config"

and there is in bad place after footer copy right !

phpbb-seo up the latest version is vulnerable to a reflected XSS attack using e.g.:

https://exmaple.org/?a='"--></style></scRipt><scRipt>alert(/OPENBUGBOUNTY/)</scRipt>

The template variable {S_LOGIN_REDIRECT} will output in that case:

<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="https://exmaple.org/?a='"--></style></scRipt><scRipt>alert(/OPENBUGBOUNTY/)</scRipt>" />

Hello,
I was testing this mod on my test board and noticed a conflict with the phpbb extension Pages.
https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/extension/pages/

Every time I try to go to a page that has a custom route with the mod, it just redirects to the index. I don't know if this is because the mod uses it's on "friendly url" routing code and it's conflicting with the SEO mod.

Describe the bug :
Hi,

I have installed your extension and enabled. But i have no idea about Settings. So please let me know how to make settings for the extension.

I have a problem with a function of your mod, I was able to set the names for the categories and I configured other settings such as removing ids from topics and virtual folders for topic forums.

However, if I go to the topics the URL is of the type 'post142.html' and without categories!

• Device Type: Apache
• PHP: 7.2.25
• phpBB: 3.3.5
• OS: CentOS 7

First of all, sorry for my bad English and if this should be issued with phpbbasic instead of usu, sorry too, close or delete this.

With the extension phpbbasic, the urls at the forum page appear like viewtopic.php?f=&t=, with empty ids, instead of the seo url or the normal url with ids. Also, the button to redirect to first post unread appears with ids but not in seo form.

Hello
Please help me , i am working for SEO Friendly URL in phpbb with your "usu extensions folder" but its not working
Please support if possible

Thanks

Hello,
I want to install phpBB SEO Extension for phpBB 3.3 but the extension does not appear in ACP!

In ACP at Extensions PHPBB SEO does not appear - https://prnt.sc/rkn8hn
The files were uploaded to the /ext /phpbb folder - https://prnt.sc/rkn8s9

What in need to do?
Thanks!

I have installed and enabled the plugin and I see the "PHPBB SEO" Tab in ACP but when I click on it I just get a blank white screen

I would assume I should be seeing the settings screen for PHPBB SEO but all I see is a white screen. Everything else in ACP and front end works fine.

• Device Type: [Desktop & Smartphone]

• OS: [Cpanel - Linux]

Accessing the member profile is not working correctly on my site.

eg. /forum/member4.html redirects to /forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=4 which redirects again to /forum/member4.html (causing an infinite loop)

How can I fix this ?

My nginx rules:

Any idea?

This modified doesn't work for me!
A for me working variant with phpbb 3.1.8 and Thanks for Posts from 16.01.2016 and usu from 9.08.2015:
In /ext/phpbbseo/usu/event/listener.php look for

if ($post_id && !$view && !$this->core->set_do_redir_post())

replace with

// Thanks for Posts extension
$to_id = request_var('to_id', 0);
$thanks = request_var('thanks', 0);
$rthanks = request_var('rthanks', 0);
// if ($post_id && !$view && !$this->core->set_do_redir_post())
if (($rthanks || $thanks || $post_id) && !$view && $this->core->set_do_redir_post())
// Thanks for Posts extension

Then look for
'hilit' => array('val' => (($highlight_match) ? $highlight : ''), 'keep' => !empty($highlight_match)),

And add after

// Thanks for Posts extension
'rthanks' => array('val' => $rthanks, 'keep' => $rthanks),
'to_id' => array('val' => $to_id, 'keep' => $to_id),
'thanks' => array('val' => $thanks, 'keep' => $thanks),
// Thanks for Posts extension

then look for $this->core->zero_dupe();

and replace with

// Thanks for Posts extension
// $this->core->zero_dupe();
if (!$to_id && !$thanks && !$rthanks) {
$this->core->zero_dupe();
}
// Thanks for Posts extension

Clean your cache and then it should work.
Maybe a more talented one prepares a commit for the repository.

I used zero dupe with strict mode on, and redirect for ALL

My urls are being rewritten as domain:80 though connection is HTTPS.
It should be possible to disable that behaviour :/

It happens when i'm on a post of the topic with url like topic-url-txx.html#pxxx (xxx is the number of the post), i'll try to see if it happens if i change some parameters about redirecting post to url topic.

Describe the bug :

In functions_display.php, phpBB builds the navigation links used in the breadcrumbs submenu. These breadcrumbs validate properly in both Google's Structured Data testing tool and Google's Rich Results Test tool when this extension is disabled.

However, when USU is enabled something goes wrong because the breadcrumbs microdata generated by functions_display.php is still based on URLs having forum ID in them.

When virtual folders are used to rewrite forum URLs (for example for example mydomain.com/myforum/) the forum ID is stripped, meaning that the microdata that is generated is incorrect and the 'item' field is not preprocessed, therefore the markup fails validation.

Is there any way we could stop this URL from being preprocessed by USU so that the breadcrumbs will actually work again?

The URL to the last posted message for each forum in the board index is not translated properly, e.g. at
https://aimeos.org/help

The topic URL is translated to:
https://aimeos.org/help/help-f15/json-api-get-specific-level-of-catalog-from-product-t3797.html

But the URL at the right side where the last posts are listed is:
https://aimeos.org/help/post15105.html#p15105

Expected would be:
https://aimeos.org/help/help-f15/json-api-get-specific-level-of-catalog-from-product-t3797.html

I have updated php to version 8 and the phpbb seo tab in ACP does not work for me

error: "Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Illegal offset type in ...\ext\phpbbseo\usu\acp\usu.php:156 Stack trace: #0 ...\includes\functions_module.php(676): phpbbseo\usu\acp\usu->main('\phpbbseo\usu\a...', 'settings') #1 ...\adm\index.php(81): p_master->load_active() #2 {main} thrown in ...\ext\phpbbseo\usu\acp\usu.php on line 156"

Thank you

Hi, the url structure is actually that way for topics or forums :
myforum.com/the-subject-i-want-to-talk-about-txxx.html
myforum.com/the-forum-where-i-am-talking-fxxx.html

Problem, if a CMS o somebody truncated a bit of the url we'll have quickly a 404 error :

myforum.com/the-subject-i-want-to-talk-(...) -> error 404

If the topic id is at the beginning of the url :

myforum.com/txxx-the-subject-i-want-to-(...) -> no error 404

And for many reasons, the url can be truncated, so it would avoid the 404 error in many cases and display the right topic.

Same thing for forum urls.

What do you think? Easy to change?

Hi, if i update to the latest version (git updated 18th of July 2021), the urls of forums, topics and post are the original from PhpBB, like if the extension is not active, no matter how i update the htaccess, disable/enable the extension, change options...

If i disable, delete, and came back to the previous version of git (downloaded 13th of July 2021), extension urls display nice again, forums, topics, posts...

So there's a bug with the last update that corrects the XSS, i'm talking about this update :
#53

The version downloaded before that (13th of july) doesn't make that bug.

Hi there.

I'm having a problem while using the extension. The main board URLs are not the user-friendly ones, but then once I'm inside any of the forums, the URL in the breadcrumbs are the right ones.

As an example:

• This News and suggestion forum URL is /forum12.html
  

• But then, on the breadcrumb is /news-and-suggestions-f12.html which is what I would expect (even tho I would expect the ID to not be there because that is what I configured on the settings)
  

Any idea why this is happening?

Thank you!

Modify the default forum2.html topic2.html

Enforcement of "chmod 0777" of the cache directory is wrong by design and should be eliminated from the code. PHP can run with non-root privileges and user running it can be directory owner, it's absolutely not necessary to allow writing by everyone in cache directory. It creates security issues only.

Hi, i am using phpbbseo for (phpbb3.3.5+nginx+php7.4) ubuntu os,

installed usu plugin working fine, but when user try to login from index homepage then its fine, but when user login from /forum-name (or) /forum-name/topic-name.html then after login its redirecting to an error page saying

Information
The requested page could not be found.

Example:

user when click this below url to login

https://domain.com/ucp.php?mode=login&redirect=viewtopic.php%2Fgames%2Fhelo-t2.html%3Fforum_uri%3Dgames%26start%3D%26t%3D2

it will redirect him to page after login is below

https://domain.com/viewtopic.php/games/helo-t2.html?forum_uri=games&start=&t=2&sid=61e46405b4a8210607d941239333e1b5

but after login it give me error message

Information
The requested page could not be found.

I installed Ultimate phpBB SEO Friendly URL and phpBB Gallery. But the gallery does not open. When I go to the link to the gallery - the main page of the forum opens. This is probably due to the incompatibility of these mods.

How do I fix this?

phpBB 3.3.11
PHP 7.4
Theme: Prosilver

I am trying your extension with certain satisfaction I might add

I may have found something to improve, If It's not my fault

I've noticed that my forum after installing usu, is very slow on firefox, but on chrome is like a Ferrari

Would I have done something wrong? Or there is something I can do about It?

Thanks. And btw good work.

Describe the bug :
When you're on a viewforum page that has been rewritten by this ext, for example if you're in /off-topic/ instead of /viewforum.php?f=2, and you then click any link or submit any form to log in, the redirection after the successful login fails because it produces a URL that looks like this:

/viewforum.php/off-topic/?forum_uri=off-topic&start=&sid=...

The culprit is the 'viewforum.php' script name. If this were removed somehow then this bug would be fixed.

To Reproduce :
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Configure USU to use virtual forum folders in the ACP
2. Refresh cache/update .htaccess as necessary
3. Log out
4. Navigate to any forum, for example /off-topic or /general-discussion
5. Log in using quick login box or any standard log in link
6. After successful log in, phpBB will try to redirect you to the page you were on previously, but it will fail, because of the viewforum.php scriptname in the URL that is generated.
7. An error message 'The forum you selected does not exist.' is displayed.

Expected behavior :
What should happen is that you are redirected to /off-topic/?forum_uri=off-topic&start=&sid=..., NOT /viewforum.php/off-topic/?forum_uri=off-topic&start=&sid=....

Any chance we could get a quick find & replace fix for this?

problem with the path image. the "./" path is not recognized.
forum image not show.

I get bad links in mChat extension archive page, when I enable USU extension.

I get this link (https://domain.com/app.php/mchat/app.php/mchat/archive?start=X) instead of this (https://domain.com/app.php/mchat/archive?start=X)

Developer of mChat said, this can cause problems with other extensions as well
