BUG : url rewriting in .htaccess
VERY IMPORTANT !!! Do not waste four years of SEO in my forum phpbb
Example : http://www.tablette-chinoise.net/forum/quelques-informations-t8005

Hi all,

I need help with URL rewriting in the .htaccess file VANILLA 2.2 to avoid losing four years of SEO.

Example avec this post in my forum phpbb : CLIC HERE
Example avec this post in my TEST forum VANILLA 2 : CLIC HERE

The URL of forum phpbb3 is : Adress_of_web_site/forum/quelques-informations-t8005
The URL of forum vanilla is : Adress_of_web_site/discussion/8005/quelques-informations#latest

Here's what the rule will do:
1. Bring the id (8005 in our example) at the end of the url vanilla
2. Delete #latest
3. Replace / Discussion by / forum

I look for a person who specializes in rewriting URLs because my level is very very low

Thank for your Help

Tof

If you do not want to use a subdirectory forum, you need to install Vanilla in the root .

#latest only appears in the url when there is a new comment and does not affect SEO.

SEO is affected by content and meta content more than how the links are structured links.

1. That does nothing but make the URL less descriptive
2. #latest is appended via JS to sessioned users. No bot will see that.
3. That is not easily done as 'discussion' refers to the controller to load. You could create a 'forumcontroller' that just extends the discussioncontroller, but most plugins wouldn't operate with it and views would still refer to the discussion controller.

If you really want to keep your juice, use the redirector add to 301 the old links to the new form: https://github.com/vanilla/addons/tree/master/plugins/Redirector

His url pattern is not the out of the box phpBB, he has SEO linkage. So best use custom rules.

He should still 301 redirects to the new form.

God I hate SEO.
