[phpBB] Migrating an existing forum to Magic URL

Postby Thorsten_TFF » Wed Aug 12, 2015 2:08 am

I'm searching for a solution to create user friendly URLs for a phpBB 3.0.X forum without changing the whole php code. As I understood from your website you provide a seperate component that has to be included only in one of the php files.

Before I buy the license I have a few questions:

  • Is your solution compatible with all phpBB 3.0.X versions?
  • Will you support the solution based on phpBB 3.0.X for the next years or do I need to upgrade to 3.1.X?
  • Is it possible to test your solution (in a test Scenario and not the productive website) before purchase?
  • How do you redirect the old URLs to the new user friendly ones without loosing the indexing e.g. in Google?

  • Yes. It's fully compatible with any phpBB 3.0.x version.
  • Yes. We are currently working on an update which will come with phpBB 3.1 and PHP 5.5. and 5.6 support.
  • No but we provide a full refund (without giving a reason) if you want to return a product.
  • Using HTTP 301 Moved Permanently

Thank you for your reply.

Is it possible to buy the version with copyright notice and upgrade to the version without later?

Yes it's possible.

Just a note: the current MSU version supports PHP up to 5.4, only the upcoming supports 5.5. & 5.6. I am writing about it because I see that forum at domain of your email address runs PHP 5.5.
