I have already asked in the spanish forum but they couldnt resolve my answer. If I break any rules, I'm sorry.. my english is not very good.

My problem is that I want to modify "Google keyword URLs 2.1.0 webmedic This MOD makes static URLs for phpBB http://www.webmedic.net/ " which phpBB XS2 includes.

What i want to do is change the endings, for example (in red):

amigos-google-phpbb-y-un-sitemap-vt6806.HTML

And change the ending, instead of -vt -vt-descarga-directa

Which files do I have to change? i tried modifying .htaccess and page_header.php, but it doesnt work.

What do i have to do?

Thanks

Hmm, this uses "vt" because it is basically shortening the name for viewtopic.php to vt

I can show you how to change it but I don't know the consequences as I do not use the mod.
You tried doing the edit in both files at the same time right? Both have to be done to work.

Open:

includes/page_header.php

Find:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

"make_url_friendly('6') . '-vt1.html' . if_query('2') . stripslashes('56') . '</a>'",

Replace Witih:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

"make_url_friendly('6') . '-vt-descarga-directa1.html' . if_query('2') . stripslashes('56') . '</a>'",

Open:

.htaccess

Find:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

RewriteRule [.]*-vt([0-9]*) viewtopic.php?%{QUERY_STRING}&t=$1

Replace With:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

RewriteRule [.]*-vt-descarga-directa([0-9]*) viewtopic.php?%{QUERY_STRING}&t=$1

Remember to save back-ups whenever you do any edits
