Hi,

For those of you having problems displaying sub-forums on your homepage here is the fix.

Open includes/functions_forumlist.php

Look for the line that reads (around line 527):
[php]$forum = $forumcache["$forumid"];[/php]And below that add
[php]// added by keith
$forum['url'] = strtolower(str_replace(" ", "-",str_replace("/", "-", $forum['title'])));
// added by keith[/php]That should do it

If you have any problems let me know and I'll see what I can do.

There is a slight error in the code above.

Where it reads:
[php]$userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"t$forumid-" . mod_rewrite_title($threadtitle) . ".html\" title=\"$threadpreview\">$threadtitle</a>";[/php]it should in fact read
[php]$userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"t$threadid-" . mod_rewrite_title($threadtitle) . ".html\" title=\"$threadpreview\">$threadtitle</a>";[/php]

Basically, Using Cyber-SEO's code could someone make a way for navbar to work for Ted's/Keithmcl's method with the fX-keyword-keyword without mod-rewrite.

Just to let everyone know, Keith was generous enough to have rewritten this tutorial combining my hack as well as Ted's.

I noticed that when you go to click on the latest post, the target url is "newpostinthread3.html" but when you click it, it links you to "showthread.php?p=3#post3" so did I do something wrong? Yet when you are viewing the forum and click on that thread, it shows "thread3.html"

And also, I want to fix the Online Location problem, but Natch's solution was too hard for me to figure out, so is there an easier way? Or one that goes into more detail so I can figure it out?

Wow. Tremendous hack.

I have a dumb question though: I don't suppose you also have a handy-dandy redirect that will point my .html pages back to the .php ones, in the event that I'm not able to keep this hack up to date...? When I was using invisionboard a while back I'd used a hack similar to this one and it worked fine, but over time I wasn't able to keep all of the necessary edits going and soon abandoned. Unfortunately, I had spiders looking for .html pages for quite some time...

hi. just for a test i put the following into the .htaccess file in the root dir of my forum:

 Help with Code Tags 
 PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
RewriteEngine on 
Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteRule ^thread([0-9]+).html$ showthread.php?t=$1 [L] 
RewriteRule ^lastpostinthread([0-9]+).html$ showthread.php?goto=lastpost&t=$1 [L] 
RewriteRule ^newpostinthread([0-9]+).html$ showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^forum([0-9]+).html$ forumdisplay.php?f=$1 [L] 
RewriteRule ^f([0-9]+)-(.*).html$ forumdisplay.php?forumid=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^post([0-9]+).html$ showthread.php?p=$1 [L]
RewriteEngine on 
Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteRule ^thread([0-9]+).html$ showthread.php?t=$1 [L] 
RewriteRule ^lastpostinthread([0-9]+).html$ showthread.php?goto=lastpost&t=$1 [L] 
RewriteRule ^newpostinthread([0-9]+).html$ showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^forum([0-9]+).html$ forumdisplay.php?f=$1 [L] 
RewriteRule ^f([0-9]+)-(.*).html$ forumdisplay.php?forumid=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^post([0-9]+).html$ showthread.php?p=$1 [L]

but that made no difference whatsoever. no links changed anywhere. my hoster says that there is a workin mod_rewrite on the servers, but how come nothing works?

ps: my forum is on a subdomain.
