[rjerina]

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=91324

i assume it is since it uses mod_rewrite...

[jugo]

I'm interested in seeing which one is faster.

Would be cool if these were converted to a simple function that can be called from anywhere so we could use this with external vB pages.

I would like to use this with vBExternal and some other script i wrote to work with vB data in non-vB pages.

EDIT: After I installed this..None of my search links or any ohter link with options in it (eg search.php?do=getnew) worked.

I believe the ReWrite may be a little screwey. I'll look at it some more when I have time. :ermm:

[Protoman]

I know the other mod doesn't work on RC2.. maybe this one will.

[jugo]

I know the other mod doesn't work on RC2.. maybe this one will.


The other mod worked fine for me on RC2.

[jb-net]

No, no. It is not like the other one! vB Ranking rewrites nearly every URL in the vBulletin (I think about 95% of all urls). DC SEO only converts the forumdisplay- and showthread-URLs.

@ jugo: Which Version of vBulletin? I will check this!

A demo will release in the next hours.

[Protoman]

tried it.. doesn't work for me.

freeBSD 4.10 / PHP 5.0.4 / apache 2

[jb-net]

@ corollasbest:
- Which version of vBulletin?
- mod_rewrite installed and enabled ?
- any error message?

[Protoman]

3.5RC2 w/VB Advanced CMPS 2.0
mod_rewrite IS installed and enabled
404 error, nothing else. :rolleyes:

[jb-net]

@ corollasbest: In which path have you installed your forum? Can you send me a pm with the url to your forum?

@ all: A demo forum is online:

Demo: http://demo.vbranking.com
Username: test
password: test

Maybe you see a url with a session in it the first time you visit the forum. This is okay! vBRanking also workes if visitors don't accept cookies because it can also process sessions in the urls. Off course search engine spiders won't get a session! (I hope I said this correctly and understandably)

Note: This demo forum will only be only a few days. After this time I must uninstall it because I need my vB license for an other project.

[jugo]

@ jugo: Which Version of vBulletin? I will check this!


vB 3.5 RC2. Had the DC SEO Installed so I know mod_rewrite works. I uninstalled theirs and replaced my htaccess with yours and installed the product....

I will reinstall it soi you cann see...If you like add me to your MSN and or AIM and we can test it.

[Protoman]

what would I look for specifically in my phpinfo() to tell me mod_rewrite is installed correctly?

[Stifler]

would it possible to make the threadname be the XXX-1.html name (where the x's are) that way its really optimized for search engines.

[jb-net]

You should look for "mod_rewrite". But also if it is not mentioned in phpinfo() it could work. Make a simple test:

1. Upload a .htaccess with the following content in your main domain directory (eg. www.vbranking.com):

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^test.html$ test.php

2. Upload a test.php with the following content:

<?
echo "mod_rewrite works";
?>

3. If http://www.yourdomain.com/test.html shows "mod_rewrite works" it should work :nervous:

[Kirk Y]

Installed and seems to be working fine. Only statistics will tell if this works...

Is there any way you could generate an image, like Google's Page Rank button, for this?

[2shae]

u know u can run a normal fourm and a test forum with ur vblicense
so i think that forum counts as a test forum as it is not going to be posted on

[Sovereign]

This causes alot of 404s, don't know why. Also, the .htaccess file contents are incompatible with the mod_rewrites used by amykhar's Userpage hack.

[Protoman]

I think I figured my problem out.. I need to get the 'allow_override' perameter changed by my server admin. then I'll be able to try this out again.

[Kirk Y]

This causes alot of 404s, don't know why. Also, the .htaccess file contents are incompatible with the mod_rewrites used by amykhar's Userpage hack.

Where are you getting 404 errors from; by accessing what?

[zajako]

can you release a vb3 version (non 3.5)

[3dsoft]

would it possible to make the threadname be the XXX-1.html name (where the x's are) that way its really optimized for search engines.

I would love to see that, too. DC Seo vB URL Rewrite has this feature.

[Protoman]

is there a way to make this hack work with vbadvanced cmps?

[Protoman]

I've also noticed this breaks ErrorDocument lines in the htaccess file. for some reason php files are taken to my custom 404 page, but html is ignored

[john_robot]

would it possible to make the threadname be the XXX-1.html name (where the x's are) that way its really optimized for search engines.

hello , yeah I also want to know this.

[vectra-a-x.de]

can you release a vb3 version (non 3.5)

you find it for vb3.0.x here http://www.vbulletin-germany.com/forum/showpost.php?p=116657&postcount=30

[Sovereign]

is there a way to make this hack work with vbadvanced cmps?
I have the CMPS installed, and the 404s appear almost randomly when I click on forums/threads.

[okc]

I can't read german - will this hack work on a 3.07 board? thx

[jb-net]

I can't read german - will this hack work on a 3.07 board? thx

yes, it should work with 3.07.

At the moment I'm working on a Version 2 of vBRanking. But I don't think that it will be available in the next 2 month.

[okc]

Thx - but how do I use if 3.07 doesn't have a product uploader in it, unless I'm missing something...

[jb-net]

In the attachment of this post http://www.vbulletin-germany.com/forum/showpost.php?p=116657 you can find the Download for vBulletin 3.0.x.

[okc]

Thx alot but even after I registered, it wouldn't let me dl it -could you help - are the instructions in english on that hack?

[okc]

I got it - nevermind -0thx alot

[Chrissicom]

what would I look for specifically in my phpinfo() to tell me mod_rewrite is installed correctly?

Will this work on IIS 6?

[artonex]

Ive installed this on my forums, no errors so far :)

[artonex]

uninstalled as it was causing errors.

Dam i wish there was a 100% working SEO hack for vb3.5 :)

[bang]

is there any way to change the urls? i want to have urls like forums.site.com/thread/123 or forums.site.com/member/123 without any .html's at the end. is that possible?

[Kirk Y]

When merging threads, the new .html type URLs will not be accepted. Also the Calendar is screwed up; when you click on a Month Link to go to another Month, an error appears specifying it as an invalid link.

IMO there is no need for a mod_rewrite hack. All of my forums get spidered fine as do vbulletin.com forums (4,120,000 pages indexed in google 337,000 in yahoo) and this forum (350,000 pages indexed in google 1,340,000 in yahoo) -- all without using a mod rewrite.

Just my .02

I have to agree with joey. take it or leave it....but I actually have worked in the SEO biz for years. And In my experienc, something like this MAYYYY help.. but that's no guarantee and certainly gunna get stressed wondering if its working or updating right etc.

imo, people would be better off just concentrating on developing your forum content or improving the expericne for your membres to promote more posting from them.......

the vbarchive archives, an in place robot.txt file, and just good old fashioned solid content should be more than enough for most and will almost always work out better for you in the end anyway.

all that an no stress about a hack update or errors. :p

;) my 2.5cents
cheers.

Works like a charm. Thanks for a great hack JB. Looking forward to seeing what google and yahoo slurp think of it.

I've had 3 YahooSlurp! spiders on my page since yesterday, they never leave... I thought spidering sites was quick...

[Snort_2005]

I've had 3 YahooSlurp! spiders on my page since yesterday, they never leave... I thought spidering sites was quick...

I have had several Yahoo Slurp spiders on my forum for quite some time. They just won't leave.. o_o

I don't plan on SEO, but I do agree that it makes it easier for search engines to spider it. ^_^ Way to go with this hack.

[joeychgo]

I dont have any mod rewrite - and they dont leave my sites either...

[Pickalo]

I seem to have this problem when I try to view new posts, it shows the .htm file rather than the php file, and my members have to refresh in order to see the new posts. Could this be fixed please?

[Rich]

Hello,

Spiders are unpredictable. I have at least 10 yahoo slurps on my site daily. Once a month, I have roughly 150+ on the site at one time.

please let me know what to do

[VaaKo]

when I upload .htaccess file, I get this:

SORRY, there is an "500 Internal Server Error" !

Your browser sent a request that this server could not handle.

The request could not be executed/handled by the server due to malformed syntax or internal configuration.
The client should not repeat the request without modifications.

I contacted my host, they said that rewrite_mod is enabled
what could be the problem?

[Razasharp]

Installed on a test forum and working perfectly :)

REQUEST: Please please please could you add this xtra functionality in version2 (please?):

- It would be great if the names of the threads/forums would display in the URL for eg, my-thread-name_48484.html and my-forum-name_012.html etc

- If possible... after a thread has been replied to, could the reloaded page also have the mod rewritten URL? (this is better for google ads).

- If possible, can we specifiy which pages/links are mod rewritten and which ones are not? (simple yes/no for each item) This will benefit those of us who need to keep an eye on server resources.

Thank you for a brill product :)

[Ignignokt]

The mini calendars on the main calendar page that link to the previous/next month link to an invalid event and don't properly display... ? :?

[wolfyman]

I am using mysite.com/forum. Can I add the .htaccess to the /forum folder, and what do I need to edit to make this work in that instance?

[HUMMERh3]

so does this plugin turn links such as www.mywebsite.com/forums/i9823498khsd893.php? links into
'Keywords.html" links or are the links still like 9234ksefdlkjd893w.html?

Can anybody help on this? Looks like this hack is completely abandoned :ermm:

[Razasharp]

Thats how this hack works... it puts.html at the end

A few of us have asked the hack author to utilise the 'decscriptions' in the url instead... hopefully he'll add that functionalty on ;)

[kafi]

ups i thought that this is rewriting also url with name of thread etc. like VbSEO does ...

[Unexplained.tv]

I'll install this, once you fix the way the links are created, as in, add in the thread titles- versus what it currently does- Otherwise, it really doesn't add anything over the "other" version, in fact, it takes away from it.

[VaaKo]

I just wanna know something
I have my forum on the root directory: www.oneforum.org/index.php
can I add .htaccess file on the main root?

[wolfyman]

I don't think this mod is supported. But the answer to your htaccess question should be "yes", I think that's exactly the setup this is designed for.

Help :ermm:

[wolfyman]

I really thinkk a warning should be posted on the threads that contain mods in which the author has chosen not to respond to for more than a certain amount of time.

This one, for example.


This thread is being ignored by the author.

That would be a great hack to see in place on this site, in fact...

[Unexplained.tv]

It shows unprofessionalism on part of the author of this Modification/ or any other author that abandons their hack/Mod and does not even bother to reply to their own thread.

[Mr Chad]

anyone else hosting with 1and1.com ? if so can you tell me if they have mod_rewrite apache module enabled?

[kall]

ups i thought that this is rewriting also url with name of thread etc. like VbSEO does ...

You know..that's what I thought.

Having used both, I can quite definitively say that this, compared to VBSEO, is a pile of dirt next to a huge pile of gold.

As per my comment on www.vbseo.com 's forums:

I have just installed vBRanking on one of my other 4 vBulletin-powered sites...and just as promptly removed it.

I take back my reccomendation to anyone to try it as a free alternative to vBSEO.

It is to vBSEO what phpBB is to vB itself, and that is being generous. There is absolutely NO comparison between the 2 products.

vBRanking rewrites SOME (not ALL) urls to static equivalents, but no forum/thread/member names in the URL, just numbers. Many urls are not rewritten (Clicking on 'last post' link from forumhome gives a php file) and there are various duplicate content issues.

So, my apologies to everyone concerned for making the suggestion.

vBSEO #1!

Seriously, if you spend ANY money on seo, or advertising...you would be well advised to put it towards a VBSEO license. Whilst $149 is not cheap, it's so very worth it for the returns.

I went from PR3 to PR5 within about a month of using it.

[Unexplained.tv]

And of course, many people are using it for free/ Beta Testers are given a free license- This comes from one of the main people at VBSEO.

[dastar]

I paid for my copy of vbseo and haven't regretted it.

[wolfyman]

is there support on the vbseo forum?

[kall]

is there support on the vbseo forum?

Yes, and it is as good as you can possibly hope for. Excellent even.

[sportsoutlaw]

Is there any plans on this hack to come out of beta?

[Bubble #5]

Whilst $149 is not cheap...
I would never spend $150.00 on an encrypted file :rolleyes: We love our database far too much :)

[COBRAws]

had to un-install because some links wouldnt work.

Links like "Find threads started by XXX"

[Unexplained.tv]

I am now a proud owner of a vbSEO license.... it's 100% worth the money.

[Bubble #5]

I am now a proud owner of a vbSEO license.... it's 100% worth the money.
Enjoy your expensive license. We?re happy for you? really :) Especially if you?re not affiliated with vbSEO. However I really do think you?re celebrating a little bit early, and putting the cart before the horse, because you have NO idea what that encrypted code is really doing behind your back to your database. For all you know it could be sending them every one of your members passwords, or security information which pertains to your server, God knows what that encrypted code is really doing, but that?s something that you?ll learn, maybe the hard way. Cheers :)

[Princeton]

I'm not sure why people are posting VBSEO posts here when this thread has nothing to do with that product.

I would think this falls under the "Self-Promotion" vb.org rules especially when some of these members are affiliates (beta-testers) of vbseo.

I'm also a bit surprised that the vbseo thread has not come under fire regarding "Rules Regarding Commercial/Paid Hacks".

[Unexplained.tv]

I am not an affiliate of any sort, I am a paid member. This hack (vbRanking) is dead- the author doesn't reply and hasn't for months now. This thread is about a dead SEO hack/addon, and I was simply making a statement that I have since gone over.
Oh and Bubble #5, no one would be stupid enough to make a paid addon, and have it steal passwords (passwords which by the way are encrypted and can not be decrypted- atleast not to this date, or so says Vbulletin and many other websites )

I'm taking a chance, as I am a risk taker- you get no where in life, if you take no risks.... playing it safe is not living at all.

Well.. given that the affiliate program was only announced today..it's highly unlikely that any of the people who have made posts about the alternative (vBSEO) are affiliates of its program.

My post was simply to tell people of my experiences with BOTH this hack (pretty much useless, lacking support) and vBSEO (rewrites almost every URL by default, and can easily be configured to do the rest, and the support rocks.).

*edit* There is NO rule that says that discussion of alternatives to exisitng hacks is disallowed. Of that I am certain.

[Guest190829]

I think all comments concerning competition/state of related hack should be posted in some sort of thread in General Modification Discussion. Leaving all posts in a specific hack thread pertaining to only bugs, constructive critisizm and/or praise. This way this thread is less cluttered with promotion of another hack, and people's voice can still be heard. :)

[Princeton]

Yes, it is an unfinished product.
However, it does not say anywhere that this hack is SUPPORTED.

The author simply made it available for everyone. He wanted to share his work and I think it's one HELL OF A GOOD ADDON.

i thought, that all hack released on vbulletin.or have to be supportet by its programmers.

am i wrong?

[Princeton]

Support is not required.

You can check if a mod is supported by checking it's attributes (the checkboxes on the top right next to the mod title).

[yinyang]

i thought, that all hack released on vbulletin.or have to be supportet by its programmers.

am i wrong?

yes, you are wrong. hacks are not required to be supported and rightly so. you have to look at the first box to see if it is marked to see whether or not it is supported.

these programmers are already doing the community a big favor by releasing their work. just because they release a hack doesn't necessarily mean they have the time or inclination to support it.

I have installed this hack and have problem with accessing statistic installed (webalizer statistic). It is probably that rewrite mod is asking for php file but this statistic has originally html sites. I am trying to type original url adress for specific statistic site, but it is not working for me.

FYI: I am getting this:
he requested URL /stat/usage_200511.php was not found on this server.
But in adress bar I have ... .com/usage_200511.html

Anybody has any idea how to avoid this? When i delete .httaccess, the problem is gone... (but I assume I need .httaccess for vbranking)

Thank you for help

[kafi]

same problem

[StarBuG]

Maybe you see a url with a session in it the first time you visit the forum. This is okay! vBRanking also workes if visitors don't accept cookies because it can also process sessions in the urls. Off course search engine spiders won't get a session! (I hope I said this correctly and understandably)

And what brings you to that conclusion?
I am curiouse because gsitemap (http://www.vigos.com/products/gsitemap/) wich is based on the python code released by google to create a sidemap picks up the session urls of my forum.

I don?t want to question your knowledge but I want to make sure I am not going to make a mistake.

Because if google would pick up session urls that would meen massive douplicated content

[TygerTyger]

Oops. Since the Author has gone AWOL, I'll post my suggestion to the community at large...

Using the HTML extension instead of HTM is bad practice because older (very much older!) Operating Systems/browsers could only recognise 3-digit file extensions. You might possibly encounter other problems with poorly-written or old software that utilises webpages. You can correct this in the mod by simply using Find>Replace to change all the HTMLs to HTMs in both the php file and the XML file.

It's a very minor point admittedly, but it's worth doing for compatibility purposes and in case you lock out your grandmother or something :)

[Snake]

I will check this out later.

[Nikke]

I uploaded the .htacces to my root and I can't access my page anymore?? what the hell??

[jward]

If this hack is no longer being supported, there are other SEO solutions available. I would advise checking out our Google/Yahoo Sitemap Generator:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=100435

There are also other mod_rewrite solutions available here.

Actually this isn't correct. Older browsers always supported longer than 3 digit file extensions. It was the servers handing out the pages to the browsers that couldn't handle .HTML extensions because their file system supported only 3 letters.

I was using the first versions of Netscape and Mozilla on Windows 3.x without any problems fetching any file extensions. You could always tell when you were visiting a Windows server verses a Unix box because of the 3 digit extensions.

HTM or HTML has always been a non-issue.

[Brandon Sheley]

I like it, but for some reason when I click a link on my forum home going to a post it will show the html link, but when I load the page it stays html, once it fully loads it reverts back to php. That's the only time it does it. If I load it from just going into a forum category and selecting a topic it works fine.

I love it though it's way better than VBSEO, because on VBSEO if you changed to it and google indexed your old links then when someone click a old link on google they would get a 404. Anyway this way both the php and html links work, but html is default. Nice job! *Wishes he could install multiple times*

This is a great mod, but is it possible to set the URLs to use the title of the post in the friendly URL?
