phpBB SEO

I want to do SEO of phpBB i have downloaded mod from A2K.
But i am not getting help where to place it.
And in its description it does removing of SID and convert static at same time.
But i want to remove SID only.
How to do it?

 

# 
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------ 
#  

includes/sessions.php 

# 
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------ 
# 

$SID = 'sid=' . $session_id; 

# 
#-----[ REPLACE WITH ]------------------------------------------ 
# 

if ( $userdata['session_user_id'] != ANONYMOUS ){ 
   $SID = 'sid=' . $session_id; 
} else { 
   $SID = ''; 
} 

Code (markup):

 

Oh Ok it means i have to act upon instructions not to paste this cod anywhere .
Is that only thing to do for SEOing phpBB ...?
Or anyother thing is required?
I m going to remove SID only.

 

Even after replacing the code i am still seeing sid=XXXXXX
what went wrong

 

i don't know about it
what's that ?

 

Yes i am log in.

 

probably i did something wrong and something right
because i see sid=xxxxx only when i pass log in page.
After that sid=xxxx is not appearing.

 

You can always download phpbb2 again and then just reupload that single file and start over with the editing if you didn't create a backup first.

Removing SID really is all there is too it, I looked at rewriting too first, but as soon as the SID was gone googlebot was all over the pages.

 

I don't know why i am not so genious! my bad.
I have still one confusion.
After SID will be removed.
Do i have to consider job is finished and my phpBB forum is SEOed?
Or there is anyother thing to do as well.

 

I noticed sid=xxxxxxx only appears on index.php page when i log in.But when i visit forums it disappears.
Now things are on right way?
Or sid should entirely gone even on that single page after log in?

 

I havn't done much more and I get +1000 hits from googlebot a day on the forum.

 

So is it normal?
And the work is completed at my end.
Thank You Guys

 

It does not remove session ids from everyone. PHPBB still needs session ids for logged in users.. It removes them for guests.

So log out and you will not see any session ids.

 

correct, you should see no sids when logged out, but you will still have sids when logged in

 

Yes same is the case with me
So it mean i have done SEO to my phpBB forum YahOOOOO

 

Congrats!
