able2know SEO for phpbb

    if you do it for a forum, could you just copy the modified files across to another one or should you edit each one all over again?

    Thanks...

    If the forums are using exactly the same template and exactly the same MODs, you might be able to just copy the files. Make a backup first and try it.

    Same MODS, different template, but I'll try in a couple of days' time and see how it goes.

    Thank you Minstrel!

    I would backup forum files (not the tempaltes), transfer and update them, then do the templates manualy. Remeber, each template has different html code.

    The suggestion by aspidov is certainly worth trying -

    Copy over:

    \index.php, \sessions.php, \viewforum.php, \search.php
    \language\lang_english\lang_main.php

    Then redo:

    \templates\{template_name}\viewtopic_body.tpl
    \templates\{template_name}\overall_header.tpl
    \templates\{template_name}\index_body.tpl

    All this is assuming that the phpBB versions are the same, as just4teens points out. If not, redo all files from the start.

    OK, thanks.

    I'll let you know,with the same MODS but different templates.

    If some could be copied over, quite a lot of time could be saved, and most of all, typos and mistakes.

    :)
