Install Instructions


- Add the data from the "Database Structure.txt" file to your database.
- Add the data from the ".htaccess" file to your forum directory in order to use the experimental Apache Redirects feature within the Page system.
- For og:keyword, og:description, and og:image support you will need to follow the instructions in the "OG Keyword and Image Support.txt" file.

In: /templates/default/admin/admin_adminmenu.tpl
Find:
Code
<li><a {$current_menu[$ubbt_lang['PRUNE_THREADS']]} href="{$config['BASE_URL']}/admin/prunethreads.php">{$ubbt_lang['PRUNE_THREADS']}</a></li>

Add Below:
Code
<li><a {$current_menu[$ubbt_lang['PAGES']]} href="{$config['BASE_URL']}/admin/page.php">{$ubbt_lang['PAGES']}</a></li>


In: /languages/english/admin/admin/generic.php
Find:
Code
$ubbt_lang['PRUNE_THREADS'] = "Prune Topics";

Add Below:
Code
$ubbt_lang['PAGES'] = "Manage Pages";


 

Usage Instructions


Access the page system at one of the following URLs
https://www.example.com/forum/page/ - Using the experimental Apache Redirects option
https://www.example.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/page.html - Spider Friendly URLs with .html extension
https://www.example.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/page - Spider Friendly URLs
https://www.example.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=page - Non-Spider Friendly URLs

URLs generated by the system will follow the configuration guidelines below. By default we generate URLs using the same settings as UBB.threads (either "forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/page/id/1/name/welcome-to-our-forum.html" or "forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=page&amp;id=1"). You can opt to use Mod Rewrite to generate URLs that would resemble "forum/page/3/welcome-to-our-forum.html" (experimental).


 

Settings


The following configuration ticks can be found in the scripts/page.inc.php file:
     $islands = 0; // Show the page list as a 0*/Listing or 1/Islands
     $lightbox = 1; // Should the page image open in Lightbox? 0/No, 1*/Yes
     $headerimg = 1; // Should the Page Image display on only page indexes or on the page itself? 0/Index Only, 1*/In Page
     $permalink = 1; // Should the system generate a Permalink? 0/No, 1*/Yes
     $rewrites = 0; // Should the system generate Mod Rewrite URLs? 0*/No, 1/Yes (Experimental)

Note · .htaccess Code
The rewrites section (coding is experimental) requires that you install the following .htaccess rules to a file within your forum directory.

# UBB.threads Pages Apache Rules
RewriteEngine On


## Deny viewing of .htaccess
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>


## Short Urls
RewriteRule ^page/([0-9+]+)/([a-z0-9-_+]+) /forum/page.php?id=$1&title=$2
RewriteRule ^page/([0-9+]+)/([a-z0-9-_+]+).html /forum/page.php?id=$1&title=$2
RewriteRule ^page/([0-9+]+) /forum/page.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^page/([0-9+]+).html /forum/page.php?id=$1

RewriteRule ^page/ /forum/page.php
RewriteRule ^page/index /forum/page.php
RewriteRule ^page/index.html /forum/page.php
# UBB.threads Pages Apache Rules

The admin system will always generate links using the UBB.threads URL configuration, reguardless of if you're using Mod Rewrite URLs or not.
