Hi guys, I guess a lot of you already know that the search function in phpBB doesn't really work very well. Search for nsteg f.ex. - and you won't get hits on several hints that are in there - and it's also full of stop words, that mean you can't search on those - that sometimes would give many, but good hits.
All this could be resolved easily, by inserting some rewite rules in apache and an output-filter in php (or apache - it too has modules/features for this kinda stuff) which simply rewrites urls like: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewforum.php?f=14&sid=0d48ecb4e79d41ac653661d849983ec6 to http://forums.gentoo.org/viewforum.php/f/14 and for gods sake - put sid in a cookie - and besides why should the sid be necessary for not logged in users? All this has been done in PostNuke, and I'd gladly do the setup in apache/php for the forums - so that everyone who uses google, also can find all the GREAT help there is to find in the Gentoo Forum. I have many times found answers to hard problems in the gentoo forums, which werent' available on google - and I'm sorry to see that so many Linux users don't find the gentoo forums - or just don't find the answer on the forums, due to the bad search function in phpBB. -- Regards, Klavs Klavsen, GSEC - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.vsen.dk PGP: 7E063C62/2873 188C 968E 600D D8F8 B8DA 3D3A 0B79 7E06 3C62 See my new CMS Hosting Service at http://www.VirkPaaNettet.dk Working with Unix is like wrestling a worthy opponent.
