In the thread where I had originally requested this, I received some feedback with concerns about search engines spidering too many duplicate URL's. (SEO optimization)

So I wound up making up my own code changes, you may want to implement them here for others as well...

Where you tell people to add:
&nbsp;(<strong><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$postid#post$postid" rel="nofollow">permalink</a></strong>)&nbsp;

you should instead tell people to add:
&nbsp;(<strong><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]&amp;#post$postid" rel="nofollow">permalink</a></strong>)&nbsp;


Here is my origional thread for reference... https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=144018

I hope that helps!!

PS- You should also edit your original post to tell people to edit BOTH postbit AND postbit_legacy. (Just my $0.02 cents)

Sometimes you have to wait a sec to give it a chance to fully load the page, before it will auto-scroll to the right post number. Try that?

However, if the permalink is clicked on page 200 of a thread why would it go to page #1, post#1?

It's funny because the hack seemed to work for me the first couple times when I tried it on threads with only a couple pages.

Also.... it's funny because I still run one vBulletin that is really old, (2.3.4) and it seems to have this feature built in (I can't remember hacking it). Anyway, I love this feature I hope I can make it work on my 3.6.5.

Wierd, i've not tried it yet on my (rather large) live board, so it is entirely possible that
it gets confused when there are too many pages of threads. However, as I am still relatively new to vBulletin, i'm not quite sure how to fix that.

I will keep trying, in the meantime, maybe someone more experienced can figure it out?

Thank you!

On Edit:

Noob question. After you click "Permalink" is there a place where it shows what all your permalinks are? I tested it with no problems but is there a place where you can see your permalinks? Thanks.

[aveon]

Thank you!

nope sorry... it needs a custom coding to accomplish the hack u are asking for...

[Fungsten]

I get the permalink, but what is it used for, what does it do, etc.? Thanks.

nothing special it just adds a direct lin to the messages so when u click on that link it takes u to that message..

[Fungsten]

That's what it is! Thank you!

[Stickers]

Hmmmmm... it seemed like this kinda worked for me but most of the time when you clicked the permalink it would take you to the first post in the thread.

I got the same problem...

Hello!

Is there a way to integrate search on the left to the permalink? The same way as it appear in the navbar.

Thank you in advance!

[testebr]

This mod is nice, but don't work in a thread with many pages..

Read this link (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1330637) to get a solution.

Works on VB 3.7.1 as well thanks.

Where are the Prmalinks listed? I checked according to the instructions and can't find them. TIA.

i changed the code and it's working flawlessly on multable thread pages now:

&nbsp;(<strong><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$postid&amp;#post$postid" rel="nofollow">permalink</a></strong>)&nbsp;

[Chunky Monkey]

Is there a way to get $pagenumber into scope in postbit or postbit_legacy template? If we could do that then we could get permalinks pointing to particular pages within a thread and then jumping to the appropriate post via an anchor, instead of permalinking to particular posts. This would likely help with seo because, assuming people linked to posts on a page, the links would all be to the same page, rather than to different posts on the same page.

$pagenumber is available in SHOWTHREAD but not postbit_legacy where I need it to accomplish this. Any ideas how I can get it into scope?

Anyone?

Aveon, please conact me. For VB 3.8.1 PL1 there are different codes in the emples you have to search for to make it show up. TIA.

[paktvsite]

I searched and can't find this code.
