Please help me guys. I was that desperate I offered cash to Montego for this, forgetting what a busy guy he is.

I've installed and got working the new phpbb3 module from nukekorea.net which is awesome.

The links are obviously different from those in the phpbb2 module, and my site has tapped links for those. What I'm wanting to do is tap the new links so that they're the same as the old links. For search engine reasons, and to make sure all the links posted in threads still point to the right posts.

I've had limited success, given that the new links include an f parameter for the forum the post will be going in. My problem seems to be that some of the taps are giving odd results, and I don't know why.

The first four entries I've got are

Code:

'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=phpBB3&file=viewforum&f=([0-9]*)&start=([0-9]*)"',

'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=phpBB3&file=viewforum&f=([0-9]*)"',

'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=phpBB3&file=viewtopic&f=([0-9]*)&t=([0-9]*)"',

'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=phpBB3&file=viewtopic&f=([0-9]*)&t=([0-9]*)&p=([0-9]*)"',

With the urlout entries as follows..

Code:

'forum-\\1-days0-\\3.html',

'forum-\\1.html',

'ftopict-\\2.html',

'ftopicp-\\2.html#\\2',

The first three links match and work fine the fourth gives a link like this..

ftopicp-154856.html#154856#p15486

I'm having problems with other links too, can anyone help me with these. I can do so much myself, but this regex stuff fries my brain. I've tried putting the big links at the top where they're similar to other links, but nothing seems to work.

Forgot to add the links I'm tapping

a) modules.php?name=phpBB3&file=viewforum&f=1 - View Forum
b) modules.php?name=phpBB3&file=viewforum&f=10&start=35 - View Particular forum second page of topics

(start=70 shows second page etc)

1) modules.php?name=phpBB3&file=viewtopic&f=1&t=20928 - view topic
2) modules.php?name=phpBB3&file=viewtopic&f=1&t=20928&p=233831#p233831 - view last post
3) modules.php?name=phpBB3&file=memberlist&mode=viewprofile&u=4658 - view member profile

4) modules.php?name=phpBB3&file=posting&mode=post&f=10 - New Topic for forum 10 (f=10)

5) modules.php?name=phpBB3&file=viewtopic&f=10&t=19444&start=0 - First page of thread
modules.php?name=phpBB3&file=viewtopic&f=10&t=19444&start=30 - Second Page

I have them working except for 5) and 2) I've actually tapped more than is in this list, but these are the ones I'm stuck on.

thoth, I think that you have made progress already on these right?

I sure have, sorry for the delay in posting. Once I've tested them I'll be posting my shortlinks entry for anyone else wanting it.

Thanks for your help in understanding them Montego Smile
