TfSEO 2: the free vBulletin url rewrite

[superjeff]

TfSEO 2.1

TfSEO is a powerful and free url rewrite for the vBulletin system: it rewrite forum, thread and post urls.
For me it's very hard to explain well all the feature of this plugin, soo the best way is test it.

How much does it weight on the server?

I have tested on my home server:TfSEO enabled, heavy:

[kaptanblack]

Nice mod, thanks...

[projectego]

* projectego clicks install. Thank you! :D

Thks,i got it

[nfn]

Hi,

This is a nice mod and I'm testing it, but as user already said, you're "eating" letters with accents and in my native Language we have lots.

You should add a function to replace these chars instead of using unhtmlspecialchars.

In a post with the word "cora??o" (Heart in Portuguese) in it's Title is replaced with "cora-o" that Google understand as "Cor?o", the Sacred book of Islam!

I'm testing with a function that I found in a Google search:


function remove_accents($string){
return strtr($string,
"?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????@",
"YuAAAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOOUUUUYsaaaaaaaceeeeiiiion oooooouuuuyyEa");
}


Nice mod by the way, waiting for vBa!
Keep up with the good work.

[superjeff]

This function that you posted is perfect. I hope i will introdoce it tomorrow. Thank you very much, i hope i will introduce it tomorrow.

[superjeff]

<font color="red">UPDATED</font>: Plugin now replace strange character in the url.

[superjeff]

PS: Plugin now use both your "function remove_accents" and unhtmlspecialchars, to be sure :)

[koxito]

Question:

Lets suposse i install this.. ? does this affect all the link to the threads that look like this ?:

http://www.xxmysite.com/forum/showthread.php=12421352 ... couse a lot of the users links their threads in the signatures and stuff, and i dont want them to change all the links in the forum.

[superjeff]

Old links will automatic redirect to the new one:

You can see, to example im my forum:
http://www.techforum.it/showthread.php?t=858 (http://www.techforum.it/showthread.php?t=858) is automatic redirect (with a 301) to
http://www.techforum.it/f47/tfseo-un...bulletin-t858/ (http://www.techforum.it/f47/tfseo-un...bulletin-t858/)

Soo no problem!

[Magnumutz]

Dude... i think it would be better if you'd code it in English... so it would be easier for other users to customize or improve it. Cuz not that many of us know italian.

[superjeff]

You have right, but i don't know english very well, so i preferred to code this product in my lenguage. With an update i can traslate in in english.

[nfn]

Developing in English is a good practice an you can get more help.
My primary language isn't English too ... it's Portuguese!

[jscieza]

Erm... how about this URL?
http://www.techforum.it/f46/connettere-pi-249-computer-ad-internet-con-un-t780/

Compare the title of the thread and the rewrited URL, it seems to be slightly different :S

[jack bro]

I think it is because it only puts the first few words from the title of the thread into the URL so if you have a thread which is titled with 50 words, the URL won't be massive.

Jack.

[nfn]

I think is not using the last version because he is "eating" accents. You can define the number of words in the url.
Does Google penalize long urls?

[superjeff]

I think it is because it only puts the first few words from the title of the thread into the URL so if you have a thread which is titled with 50 words, the URL won't be massive.

Jack.
It is true. I don't have much time, and the link structure in my forum is a bit different.
Does Google penalize long urls?
Usually, no. But have you ever see a very long url in a Google's serp? It's very bad. Google eat the url and write something like "yoursite.com/...". I think this is bad to see, and you could be penalize from the user that "jamp" your result.

[neverstop]

Hi,

The Previous/Next links do not seem to work. Are you going to release a plugin for vbadvanced cmps? Many users would find it useful.

Thanks for the mod, superjeff.

[jscieza]

I think that will be useful if you add an option to filter some words that are irrelevant for SEO purposes, I mean short words that Google and other search engines don't have in account when you make a search, words like: "to", "the", "of", and so on.

AFAIK these type of words aren't relevant. Is this really true?

And just in case that you add this option... it will have as a implicance a higher CPU load?

Thank you! :)

[superjeff]

UPDATED: Fix two bugs (due to a failure to load a template, thread/forums with many page) and improved support for character replacer!

[superjeff]

Hi,


The Previous/Next links do not seem to work. Are you going to release a plugin for vbadvanced cmps? Many users would find it useful.

Thanks for the mod, superjeff.
The Previous/Next don't work because they have the "nofollow" attribute and a rewite of its will add two query every time you display a thread! The plugin for vbadvanced cmps is incoming.

This option is incoming, but below the vbadvanced plugin :)
It will no have implicance in a higher CPU load.

[Jase2]

I would suggest anyone holds off from this. Will this coder support this in the next version? If not, you're going have to uninstall -- meaning you lose ranking and indexed pages as they will have to be re-indexed.

Regards Jason :)

[superjeff]

Read first of write. Have you read the "introduction"?
This product will be update and supported for long time.
I have no just add it, you can check with the google cache.

[jscieza]

Thank you for your reply, superjeff.

I have three suggestions :)

When you have chance please upgrade your plugin in your live demo forum so visitors of this plugin will see it in action with the fixes that you're including with the new releases.
It would be nice if you put a change log of your mod.
How already some members said you, if possible make an effort to code your mod in english. vBulletin.org's hack programmers speak english and many of they don't understand italian... so it will be a bit hard for you to get help in case of problems where you need a hand.I like this mod. Just waiting for the requested option (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1473032&postcount=22) and I will install it! Hope it will not take much time to be implemented :up:

[GoD Of The Pc]

*Installed :D

[Jase2]

Many users have said they will support their hacks for a long time; do many stick with it? NO! I am not disrespecting you or your hack; it is a good hack, but if you did stop support it and not heard of again -- then people would have problems.

Regards Jason :)

[superjeff]

I'm going to add all these suggest, but it will take me much time.

If this plugin will dead tomorrow, you can buy a license of NuSEO or VbSEO ad customize the url-rewrite setting. You will not lose any serp. (or you can set by .htaccess a 301 rewite to standarts urls)

[MedellinStyle]

verrry coool!
and so easy! for seo and for funcionallity is a must-install!

You can use my forum as demo:
www.medellinstyle.com/foro

!!!! thanks! and yes the next and back links doesnt work at the bottom of threads. also would be so cool if the forum name appear...

maybe only the first word, so:
http://medellinstyle.com/foro/f55/
http://medellinstyle.com/foro/general/ instead.

Thank you keep the good work and thanks.

[akonze]

This looks very nice already. However is there any chance to change the forum name from 'f2' to the real forum name? Some thing like .../main_forum_f2/...?

Then it would be perfect! :)

But, are users prepared to buy vBSEO if you stopped support this? Very unlikely!

When you have thousands of urls indexed in the SE's, you're going want to reach a support person fast incase there is a problem, where as you will with vBSEO as there is a lot of members of staff. Where as here, there is only you and there is no guarantee you will support this for a long time to come, very unlikely.

(for vbadvanced support i have done the "last threads and poll urls", but the "news urls" is a bit harder..)

[GlitchersCorner]

If you try to get into maintenance in the Admin CP it brings you to a smilies page...

*Uninstalled for now*

[therogueforums]

I will be watching this thread carefully. I love the idea, I truly do. So many people have introduced similar mods, that usually end up backfiring.

At present, I do not feel comfortable with installing this hack just yet. I'd like to wait for more features, and a possible English coding. From what I can tell, you're on the right path- just need a few more goodies and what not, and this should be a wonderful hack. Good luck, and I look forward to another release!

Add this to your config.php file:
$ips = array('123.123.123.123');
$config['Misc']['debug'] = (in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $ips) ? true : false);
And replace 123.123.123.123 with your ip. Now you can see the loads time.

[neverstop]

EDIT: The below was my error, I did not fill out the base url admincp option.
================================================== ===
I am getting this error in firefox after updating to latest version:

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

My site is new so I have turned off 301 redirects (no need for it?) and the problem is gone.

Cheers

[superjeff]

I don't get this error with firefox in local or in my forum.. Does it work all with IE? And yes, you don't nedd it if the site is new (for be sure put a rotbot.txt file with showthread.php and forumdisplay.php :))

[superjeff]

And you can try to edit the plugin (name: "301 showthread" and "301 forum") and delete the part with the "isset" variable, is what i have add here in the last relase.

[neverstop]

Hello,

It was my error, after re-importing the product I did not fill out the "Base URL of your site" admincp option. Sorry about that! Product is working nicely.

Greets

[superjeff]

Perfect :)

Hi,

I think there may be a problem with tags.php. There is no keywords in the url resulting in a 404 (IE www.domain.com/f2/-51)

[superjeff]

With tags.php you must do a manual edit of tags.php. View README

[uvex]

*installed*
Forumname in URL would be nice.

[superjeff]

*installed*
Forumname in URL would be nice.
I could think to improve it in the future in the plugin will popular.

UPDATED: Fixed 2 bugs (view CHANGELOG)

[neverstop]

I did the chnages for tags.php but I got a DB error. I changed the added code to:

if ($vbulletin->options['tfseo_attivo'] AND $vbulletin->options['tfseo_riscrivi'])
{
$tfseo = $db->query_first("
SELECT thread.title
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread as thread
WHERE threadid = '$thread[threadid]'
");
$tf = implode($tfseo);
$tfseourl['thread'] = tfseo_url($tf);
$tfseo_pagina = $vbulletin->options['tfseo_pagina'];
}

Db error is gone and the urls are fixed.

Cheers

[superjeff]

Ok, good. Readme updated (for the next relase).

[MedellinStyle]

hey pal I had to deactivate the plugin!!! the beauty urls are gone because im using Inferno External 1.0 Externally feeds data from your forum to anything!

that is a way of comunicate the forums with non-vbulletin pages, and when activated it was sending errors and bad headers, and wordpress was ++++ed up. :S

shit!

[superjeff]

Soo incomplatible with "Inferno External".. i hope to fix it. To display rss with wp you can use the rss widget.. without problem.

[superjeff]

UPDATED: Fixed a lot of bugs, add the option for last post (with thread with multiple page) in homepage

[superjeff]

Little bug fixed: In the plugin "Add in showthread" do the edit marked in red:


Original: (don't work)if ($vbulletin->options['tfseo_attivo'] AND $vbulletin->options['tfseo_riscrivi'])

{

$tfseourl['thread'] = tfseo_url($thread[threadtitle]);

$tfseo_pagina = $vbulletin->options['tfseo_pagina'];

if ($thread[totalpages] != 1)

{

$lastpage = $tfseo_pagina . $thread[totalpages] . ".html";

}

}

New: (Work!)if ($vbulletin->options['tfseo_attivo'] AND $vbulletin->options['tfseo_riscrivi'])

{

$tfseourl['thread'] = tfseo_url($thread[threadtitle]);

$tfseo_pagina = $vbulletin->options['tfseo_pagina'];

if ($thread[totalpages] > 1)

{

$lastpage = $tfseo_pagina . $thread[totalpages] . ".html";

}

}

[superjeff]

UPDATED: Other bug fixed.
If someone have some suggest to extend the functions of the rewrite (no member and blog), please suggest.

[NeverBored]

Very nice mod! I like this a lot, one problem I see though is you can no longer see what thread users are looking at on the who's online listing. Any way to get who's online to work with this?

[superjeff]

I will fix it in the next relase. Sorry but i have to study much in the next days.

Or you are talking only about the "online locazitation bug"?

[NeverBored]

Something I just remembered... When I had this installed, I found it caused 404 not found errors for the vb cron function. Since the cron url was based on the rewrite URL.

[superjeff]

Which cron functions exactly? (URL)

[NeverBored]

In the footer template $cronimage is called. In my error log there was 404s for something like, domain.com/thread-title-t99/cron.php

[Magnumutz]

jeff, why can't you rewrite members profile links?

[superjeff]

In a few of words, you many visit did you yope to take from it? Is the members pages of vbulletin interesting for Google? I don't think.

[Magnumutz]

Indeed, you are right about this, Google does still index them, but nobody searches for the members.

However, it would be a nice feature that everyone will like and get extra attention and installs for sure.

[superjeff]

Yes, but, IMHO it is like to see google that the member page is important for you, like a thread.

[Lapsetur]

Does this work with IIS

[superjeff]

Actually, no. I hope to introduce this in the next future.

[Lapsetur]

Well looking forward

i found too intensive for my server rewrite the urls with other hacks, and sometimes my server crash...

It is thinked to don't weight on the server. Basically, it don't add query. But, ther is a query if you rewite tags.php (with the file modification), and another in homepage if you choose it in the options.
I'd like very much to know how it work in a big forum, contact me via email if you have installation problems.

[superjeff]

PS: you vb skin if fantastic. Can you pm me how much did you pay it?

[nerofix]

Nice mod superjeff,

This looks very nice already. However is there any chance to change the forum name from 'f2' to the real forum name? Some thing like .../main_forum_f2/...?

Then it would be perfect! :)

You always say you will do this when your mod becomes popular .. so .. eh .. come stai? .. lol .. eh .. making your mod doing rewrite the forumname could make your mod more popular, because it's missing in your actual version .. :)

Please add a rewrite for forumname, /f2/ is not beautiful.

You must set the configurations in admincp...

Maybe i missed something can you run it down in a list please , but im allmost sure i did everything right:(

[superjeff]

"Base url of tour site." sure that you have filled this field?

[bxbigt]

nothing everything is filled in also inclu the htaccess and all

[superjeff]

Strange.. sure that the "base url" filed is http://www.elite-bb.com?

Plus, try to temporanely disable the 301 redirect.

[bxbigt]

works but this appears above the header


Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Argument to implode must be an array. in [path]/includes/functions_forumlist.php(393) : eval()'d code on line 9

[superjeff]

It's because in some forums you don't have any thread, and it try to generate the urls too. I hope to fix this too in the next relase.

[bxbigt]

so once i finish laying out the site im gonna post in each forum and it should work , yeah im coming off a nasty site crash and buggy d/b so i decided to just start fresh and i been following your seo for weeks and thought i give it a try :)

[msorin]

I installed it and configured everything according to your instruction but when I enable it in admincp and try to go to forum or a thread link my browser gives me an error message that "the page can not be redirected". Is there anything I need to check for?

[superjeff]

Sure that you have configure correctly the "base url" setting? If yes ther'is a common problem fo fix..

[superjeff]

UPDATED: Add the online localization support, ad fix the errors with forums without posts in forumhome.

Jeff Thanks a lot for sharing this mod!. Is very usefull.

I have doubt with the instructions of the files edits.

In the Archive.php I cant find the first code to change.

$output .= "\t<li><a href=\"" . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]\">$thread[title]</a></li>\n";

with the external.php I find the first code to change 2 times, I need to change both?

// list returned threads

if (!empty($threadcache))

{

foreach ($threadcache AS $thread)

Thanks for the help!

[Zorck]

Jeff, I think thar I find a bug.
In the forums where I have a link-forum, I ge this error

Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Argument to implode must be an array. in [path]/includes/functions_forumlist.php(393) : eval()'d code on line 9

Sorry of this.. i thinked to have fox it with the last relase, but i didint tinked about the forum links.
I will fix it tomorrow, today I am from my grandfathers.

[Zorck]

thanks!

[superjeff]

Ok, i have fixed it, but it is soo easy that i will not relase a new relase only for this.
You must only replace all the code in the plugin called "Query for last page in forumhome" with this:

if (!empty($forum['lastpostinfo']) AND $forum['lastpostinfo'] != $vbphrase['private'] AND $forum['lastpostinfo'] != $vbphrase['never'] AND $forum['lastpostinfo'] != '-' AND $vbulletin->options['tfseo_attivo'] AND $vbulletin->options['tfseo_riscrivi'] AND $vbulletin->options['tfseo_page_index'])
{
$tfseo_tot_post = $vbulletin->db->query_read_slave("
SELECT thread.replycount
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread
WHERE threadid = '$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]'
");
$a = mysql_fetch_assoc($tfseo_tot_post);
$a = implode($a);
$a = $a / $vbulletin->options['maxposts'];
$a = floor($a);
if ($a > 0)
{
$tfseo_total_page = $a+1;
$tfseo_lastpage = $vbulletin->options['tfseo_pagina'] . $tfseo_total_page . ".html";
}
}

[Zorck]

excellent!. Thanks Jeff for the quick support.

[jscieza]

Hi superjeff,

I have just installed TfSEO in my forums a few days back and it's working fine :)

But there are some issues that I have noticed:


Links from Who's online aren't being rewrited
RSS feed links aren't being rewrited (yes, I have edited all files as your readme indicates)
Previous/Next Thread links aren't working (it appears that it's a know bug)


I'm using vBulletin 3.7.0 RC1. When you have time please take a look at this issues. Hope you are fine with your studies, good luck in your exams!

Kind regards,

Jonathan.

[superjeff]

I'm sixteen years old, i don't go to the university! :)


I think i could fix it in the future, but i don't know how
This is very strange! I will attack my external.php, i have done it a lot of time ago (3.6.x) and it works well with the 3.7 too.
A rewrite of this will add a lot of queryes, and it have by default a "nofollow" tag. Vbseo don't rewrite it, but the url works in my forum.

[superjeff]

I'm using vBulletin 3.7.0 RC1.


You should update soon... :)

But you go to the school :)

1. Glad to hear.
2. It's "attach" not "attacco" :D. Also... I suggest you don't attach your own vBulletin files, there are some reasons but the most important is that it's appears to don't be allowed by the vBulletin.org forums.
3. Erm... NO, vbSEO REWRITES links in the Who's online page. I think that if we have allowed guests (and also, spiders) to see our Who's online page, we will have serious issues because Google my think that there are duplicated content. Please tell me if I'm wrong.

You should update soon... :)

And you... because you're running vBulletin 3.7.0 Beta 3 hehe. Hey! this could be probably the reason because external.php works for you and not for me. Try to upgrade to the latest RC and edit external.php as your readme.txt file indicates... then probably you will have the same issue that I'm passing :(

Thank you! :)

[superjeff]

-
The RSS feed are very important, i try to fix it now. The file that i have upload has my customer number, i have deleted it for it. But it is my "online" file, ad i'm not using 3.7 beta 3, but 3.7 RC 4. Try to press F5. In other word, upload it on your site, it will work :)
This point was about the next/previuvus link, not for the online. Vbseo don't rewrite this, look here (http://www.giorgiotave.it/forum/consigli-seo-e-penalizzazioni/76787-penalizzazione-per-la-seconda-volta.html). Plus, your online.php file is not show to the guests and bots.There are no "duplicate content" problem, because the plugin use a 301 redirect for the wrong urls.
Now i go to work on the plugin..

[superjeff]

UPDATED :)

[bxbigt]

is it ready to use i just upgraded to gold and looking for a good seo to use :)

[activa]

does not support arabic letter ?

[superjeff]

is it ready to use i just upgraded to gold and looking for a good seo to use :)
Test this and report!
does not support arabic letter ?
Try with to oververwrite the attach ./includes/functions_tfseo.php and report :)

[KSM899]

I intalled the orignal one .. and it supports arabic ^^

Jeff when I updated .. The copyright line on the footer is gone O_o !

[superjeff]

The copyright line is show only in forumhome, it should be this :)
Good for the arabic support!

[KSM899]

The copyright line is show only in forumhome, it should be this :)
Good for the arabic support!
I'm using Vbadvanced and the copyrights aren't there!

By the way .. will you mind if I translate this mod to arabic?

[superjeff]

I'm sure that a lot of people can find it usefull :)

[KSM899]

Thanx .. I will work on it after the exams! :)

[NAZIA]

Wow that is great..
No need for VBseo

[KSM899]

Thanks Jeff

[KSM899]

By the way Jeff .. What happens I the thread title is changed?

[superjeff]

I usually change my thread titles.. old title is redirect to the new one:
http://www.techforum.it/f6/random-word-this-will-redirect-t1000/ (the only info used to rewrite the url is the thread id)

This if your 301 redirect option is enabled, if not you can have duplicate content!

[KSM899]

The problem the 301 redirect is not working with me!
I don't know why! :(

[superjeff]

The problem the 301 redirect is not working with me!
I don't know why! :(
If i'm not riduculus, your "Base url of tour site." must be "http://www.ar-web.org"

[KSM899]

I've set it exactly the same .. but still not working!

[superjeff]

I really like to know what isn't working. Can you send me an email, at davide {AT} techforum.it? We will contiue there.

[Phornixx]

I have a doubt:

The old links will work the same way? I mean if my current links are this way:

showthread.php?t=173738

Will that still be working? because I have my forum linked in many places...

Thanks in advance.

[993ti]

Is or will this be compatible with the vBSeo sitemap?

[KSM899]

It's will automaticlley rediractes it to the new link! (If you enable the 301 rediractes!)
otherwise it will open using the old link!

[superjeff]

Is or will this be compatible with the vBSeo sitemap?
This summer i will relase a "mine" sitemap.

[superjeff]

I really like to know what isn't working. Can you send me an email, at davide {AT} techforum.it? We will contiue there.

So, is it compatible? You didn't answer

You should easly put your .htaccess in the forum root, soo: xxx.com/forums/.htaccess

[NeverBored]

Are you not able to fix the cron image issue? I think it could have a bad effect for the scheduled tasks if it's not fixed...

I looked on your own forum and it doesn't appear you fixed it in the new release... For example, this thread: http://www.techforum.it/f53/problema-con-un-gioco-t1208/ makes a call to: http://www.techforum.it/f53/problema-con-un-gioco-t1208/cron.php?rand=191417, which doesn't exist. There is the same problem when viewing other pages that are using rewrite (forums).

Hi Superjeff!
when i go to: tags.php?tag=mytag
all the thread listed bellow dont rewrite correctly, EX: http://www.forums.com/forum/f17/-7223/ the thread got the id but not the title :(

i dont wanna make file edits, there is other way? like dont rewrite that page?

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@forums.theonespot.us and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

I tried renaming to .htaccess i have it as htaccess.txt - nothing works... sorry bud

I also tried updating it and putting .htaccess in forums homepage instead of sites homepage - not working.

[superjeff]

Renaming .htaccess to htaccess_new the 500 server error should disappar.
You should try to edit the .htaccess file until it work.. have you ever tried to use another .htaccess? Plus, some hosting, don't accept it!

[onespot]

i own my server - ... you want me to rename .htaccess to htaccess_new with no . ?

[superjeff]

i own my server - ... you want me to rename .htaccess to htaccess_new with no . ?
This was to "disable" the 500 error. If the server is your, take the line in the .htaccess and add it in the site apache site configuration file, something like the httpd.conf, in the virtual host.

[elmati]

What about my request (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1508636&postcount=163)?

thanks in advance!

[superjeff]

The only way is the file modification of tags.php!

[onespot]

meh - decided to get rid of this and now it says

Fatal error: Call to undefined function tfseo_url() in /home/onespot/public_html/forums/includes/class_postbit.php(260) : eval()'d code on line 1

[nascimbeni]

I am getting the following error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function tfseo_url() in /var/www/vhosts/lifeinitaly.com/subdomains/my/httpdocs/includes/class_postbit.php(260) : eval()'d code on line 1

So I had to disable the product

[superjeff]

Have you upload the functions_tfseo.php in your ./includes/ directory?

Follow via email :)

[bondjetta]

Can you explain nicer this last?

I will fix it..
Let me try:

On ForumHome if I click "Go To Last Post" button on a thread with >1 page the url becomes something like: <Thread Name>/page2.html#postXXXXX and the link works correctly (taking me to the last post on whichever page is last)

However when I click New Posts and look at the URL for that same thread it appears as: <Thread Name>/#postXXXXX which results in the first post on the first page being displayed.

So my question is how do I get the ForumHome URL's (which work) to appear on New Posts as well? I noticed that the ForumHome links changed when I enabled ForumHome in the TfSEO options in AdminCP so I was wondering if there's a way to make this work for New Posts? :)

[superjeff]

So my question is how do I get the ...
It's a bug, i hope to fix it.

i was wondering, is it possible for this mod to remove the f1, f2, ect for the actual name of the forum, so, for instance, if the forum name was home decor

the url would look like this.

yourdomain.com/home-decor/name-of-topic-t1234

rather than

Hi Jeff,

There are some URLs in my site that aren't being rewrited :S

Please take a look at this Google querie: http://www.google.com.pe/search?q=site:forosperu.net&hl=es&start=460&sa=N

I have disable that redirect because it could be problematic, rewriting the last post in the last page (example) in the first page. I will fix this too, first that i can. Temporaneally, you can edit the "301 Thread" plugin and delete AND empty($_REQUEST['p'])

Sorry for this.

also when i view a thread, it always direct me to the first page, cant u make it so it goes to the latest reply/page

For this you can use the "last page" icon, something like https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/
Or edit the automatic rewrite. The new major version will have an option to decide this from the cp panel

[GlitchersCorner]

UPDATED: VbAdvanced plugin now rewrite news urls!

Thank you :)

Maybe the next version can change the way forums are re-writen? So instead of f50 we have forum name 50.

Example:
Forum name is Announcements and forum ID is 3, it will re-write at example.com/announcements-3/

And maybe another thing. Instead of having the example.com/f#/topicname-####/ it can be example.com/f#/topicname-####.html and for pages it be example.com/f#/topicname-####-page-2.html?

These are good idea's in my opinion. Plus spiders would live to see forum names instead of f## because when you do site:example.com all you see is f## for urls.

[superjeff]

I will add this in the next major relase, for it i will rewrite all the code!

It will have 3 options:
f##/##/
f##/threadname-##/
forumname-##/threadname-##/

Plus, you will allowed to modific the url structure how do you want, editing only one file.
Plus plus: the forumname-## will be indipendent from the forum name, with this, if you change it, you will not redirect thousands of threads

Hi Jeff... Reverting templates is not an option for me, and I cannot use mods[title] the way you have it. I editted the plugin like this:

$news['url'] = tfseo_url($news['title']);

And then in the template adv_portal_newsbits I use it like so:

$vboptions[bburl]/f$news[forumid]/$news[url]-$news[threadid]/

It works. But how can I do the same for the template adv_portal_newsbits_attach_thumb? Do I need another plugin?

Cheers

[superjeff]

Good!
I don't see nothing to rewrite in that template:
<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;d=$attachment[dateline]"<if condition="$show['newwindow']"> target="_blank"</if>><img src="$vboptions[bburl]/attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;stc=1&amp;thumb=1&amp;d=$attachment[thumbnail_dateline]" class="thumbnail" border="0" alt="<phrase 1="$attachment[filename]" 2="$attachment[counter]" 3="$attachment[filesize]" 4="$attachment[attachmentid]">$vbphrase[image_larger_version_x_y_z]</phrase>" /></a> &nbsp;
Were i wrong?

You are right... but I have modified that template to something like this:

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$news[threadid]"><img src="$vboptions[bburl]/attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;stc=1&amp;thumb=1&amp;d=$attachment[thumbnail_dateline]" class="thumbnail" border="0" alt="" /></a>

So the thumbnail links to the thread.

But it is ok. I have removed the code from adv_portal_newsbits_attach_thumb and placed it directly in adv_portal_newsbits and I can now rewrite the URLS. So it is working for me how I want.

Thanks so much.

tfseo_threadbit_pagelink template is uncached.Anyway to cache it?

It seems to have conflicts with GT QuickReply smilies.I get a 404 error when using the pop-up smilies which doesnt occurs before this product is enabled.

*Edit: Works great now.

[superjeff]

Thanks for the info.

For the template uncached, edit "Load templates" plugin.
For GT QuickReply smilies you should replace relative links with absolute

The actuall version is very light. Doing a stat on page load time, (10 test) i haven't see any increment.
With the next version i'd like to post a graph of the page load time for the three rewrite type that i will introduce

[superjeff]

Add a letter in the title and it will work.. i never thinked about it!

also when someone gives a link like this forum/showpost.php?p=1539922&postcount=229 and try viewing the thread link from that site it gives me error file not found
This is because, to don't do query (thread[forumid] isn't cached) the plugin build the url to the post in the discussion using the esisting url (showpost.php?p=1539922&postcount=229)
Tomorrow i hope to start to fix all these bugs. Sorry.

[maidos]

so by tomorrow will you fix those two bugs?

thanks

[superjeff]

I hope yes (i have a lot of other think to fix), not sure

ع =A

UPDATED: if you find othrer bug, please lend me know

[soulplayer]

Always get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function tfseo_url() in /var/www/virtual/xeonix.be/htdocs/includes/class_postbit.php(265) : eval()'d code on line 1

functions_tfseo.php => in /htdocs/includes/
PHP Version 5.2.0-8+etch11

Any known fix?

[superjeff]

No!
Please try to enable debug mode and report me if the ./includes/functions_tfseo.php is "cached".

[maidos]

any news how to remove f2 and f13 etc on forum caategory...

[superjeff]

For the last page, you must use the lastpost button http://www.techforum.it/images/techforum2.0/buttons/lastpost.gif.
did activated it on vb option but i want it to be enabled on all section aswell
?
To add keyword in forum urls wait the next version

[maidos]

is it possible not to use that button and just simply click the thread title instead
would be great if u could remove the numbers on each thread title and only have the forum title name instead

[superjeff]

is it possible not to use that button and just simply click the thread title instead

For this edit the plugin.. or wait the next major version

would be great if u could remove the numbers on each thread title and only have the forum title name instead
Next version will support this. You must only wait.. a week i think

[maidos]

wouldlike to know where to edit the plugin andhow thanks :)

[superjeff]

Simpli edit the plugin "rewrite something" replace something like .....$tfseo_url-$thread[threadid]/
With
.....$tfseo_url-$thread[threadid]/#post$lastposcount

[maidos]

[Adam21]

Is the tfseo_threadbit_pagelink template cached in the new update?
Now yes

[wtfsoccerdude]

I have installed this mod but on enabling the rewritting option the page either takes forever to load or gives this error:

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.








* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept

OR

some error related to function_tfseo related to class_postbit.php

I have uploaded htaccess, the function file in /Include/ and also uploaded the xml file correctly.

This is affecting the traffic to my site. I need to fix this quickly! Can anyone please help?

Thank you!
