[PAID] PHPBB-seo old url 301 redirect

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around migrating a PHPBB forum to Discourse and redirecting the existing SEO-optimized URLs. Silnei wants to migrate their forum with 367k members and 80k topics, while maintaining the current URLs.

The PHPBB importer does not currently support SEO-optimized URLs for redirects, as confirmed by gerhard, the author of the plugin. However, pfaffman suggests it’s possible to add those redirects with some customization.

Silnei shares their current .htaccess file and offers a budget of US$ 500 to create a script that can convert and redirect the existing friendly URLs to Discourse. The goal is to redirect URLs like http://www.mochileiros.com/bota-impermeavel-qual-devo-comprar-e-aonde-e-melhor-t48916.html to their corresponding Discourse URLs.

Hi There,

I have a PHPBB forum with 367k members and 80k topics. The URLs is like this:
http://www.mochileiros.com/como-inserir-fotos-nas-mensagens-t79090.html

its possible migrate to Discourse and redirect this URLs?

Thanks in advance,

Silnei

I’m pretty sure that the phpbb importer does redirects, so you’d just need to run the importer. I can do that for you next week.

The importer currently doesn’t support SEO optimized URLs for redirects since this feature isn’t a core functionality of phpBB.

And @gerhard should know since he wrote the plugin. :slight_smile:

It’s not to difficult to add those redirects, but it will require some customization.

Hi @gerhard

This is a .htaccess of my PHPBB-SEO Instalation.

Its possible make a script to convert and redirect this friendlys URLS to Discourse?

Friendly URL: Bota Impermeável, qual devo comprar e aonde é melhor? - Botas, Tênis & outros calçados - Mochileiros.com
Real URL: Bota Impermeável, qual devo comprar e aonde é melhor? - Botas, Tênis & outros calçados - Mochileiros.com

I have a budget of US$ 500 for this job.

Thanks in advance
