Question subfora don't work

[9livesdragon]

Hi,


It seems our subfora don't work since install dragonbyte 1.2.7.
Example:

9lives.be/forum/algemene-info-mededelingen-en-feedback/ has a subforum, also called "algemene-info-mededelingen-en-feedback", which links to 9lives.be/forum/algemene-info-mededelingen-en-feedback/ as well, meaning users aren't able to access the subforum & get kicked back to the front of the forum.

How do I adjust this?

Many thanks!

You'll need to either change the "Forum URL" formats in the DragonByte SEO Control Panel to include the forum_id variable, or rename the forum to give it a unique name.

I recommend the first option, for performance reasons

And which field exactly do I need to adjust in "DragonByte Tech: SEO - URL Rewrites: Forum URLs"?

 

[Fillip H.]

The following settings:
* Forum URLs
* Forum Pagination URLs
* Announcement URLs
* Multiple Announcements URL

They should all be modified to contain the [forum_id] variable

If you'd like to preserve forum titles in the SEO URLs, you can use the Custom settings to customise the URLs

I'm wondering if such a change (including forum_id variable) will result in errorpages for google indexed pages.
Can you give me advice on that please?

Also: in vbulletin we have a correct translation for our months, however the English month names are displayed instead of our (Dutch) translations.
Do you know how/where I can fix that?

It shouldn't, as DBSEO redirects old URLs automatically. In either case, it couldn't possibly be worse than Google not being able to access your forums, could it?

Have you tried changing your php's locale on a server level? I'm not fully sure how to do this, so I can't give you a how-to, unfortunately
