:)

this is fantastic :)

also i have clicked install :)

is there anyone who has made a better template want to share with me :), i dont know what file to edit to make it look nicer :)

P.s and also do all i need to do is add the url

www.mydomain.com/forums/archive

to google to get it do the whole site or does evey page need to be added ????

please let me now :)

also can anyone tell me why it takes so long for the pages to change ????

is it ment to take long and would that stop the spider from going through the whole lot ????

scrap that last bit i re-uploaded the index.php and it seems fine for now :)

but still interested in making this look better :) can someone tell me what file to edit please or maybe if i am lucky give me a copy lol

also i need to know the answers to the submitting ... do i need to submit every page or just the url i said earlier ???

does this work on windows?

Yeah, has anyone actually done this with IIS? I'd love to know.

Yes, it works allright!! The 'Unknown Location' members are the Googlebot eating the 'HTML version' of the site thanks to this script.

Anyone got a solution for editing online.php so it shows up correctly rather than unknown location.

I've added a few locations using Chens Custom Online Locations hack, but there are thousands of posts in the archive.

Thanks

How do you know it's a google bot?

Craig

I have this exact same problem as this guy, which seemed to go without an answer. I'd love to get this up and running, help! :)

I have everything installed that I need to have, and in my error log I receive the following:

[Sun Mar 16 23:05:18 2003] [alert] [client *.*.*.*] /pathtopublic_html/forums/archive/.htaccess: ForceType not allowed here

One difference I have is we have a subdomain for forums, so I use http://forums.aliensoup.com/archive

Will this stop this from working properly? Thank you to anyone who can help provide answers!

Any ideas guys? :D

:::How do you know it's a google bot?

The IP address.

freshBot: 64.68.82.* bah, listed for only a few days, short dinner date then it dumps you.
deepcrawler: 216.239.46.* Good bot, it likes you, listed until death do you depart. So don't make him mad or it will divorce your site. You can divorce the Googlebot by using your robot.txt file. It's much cheaper and faster than going to the courts.

It almost crashed my server once, taking the server load up to 24.56, 10.49, 5.14 slowing the server down for about five minutes!!

I'd be very interested in this too. Anyone have a good solution?

Hmm everything seems correct, I'm not sure what could be causing this but would really like to get going before the next dance... Help! Make work! Fix! :D

google is all over my archives now with 50+ bots, wonder if i'll get listed this time, last dance i didnt.

You still around, SkuZZy? :D

I guess not. :P

I'm gonna miss the dance ain't I? First the prom, now this! :)

The dance is coming soon, and the deep spider won't be for a week atleast.

SkuZZy: Any idea what the problem is in this post?

I've tried everything. :(

We've been getting crawled by:

inktomisearch.com

We've been getting indexed with them for 2 months now. But I haven't seen an increase in pages listed in their DB. Does any one have any info about inktomi and their indexing practices.

Also FYI, Google is doing another major crawl of our archive!!!

I need help QUICK

I just changed servers and aparently this machine handels subdomains differently.

Before everything work work find at http://board.midibuddy.net/archive2/

Now it doesn't. The archive does load at http://midibuddy.net/board/archive2/ however.

I NEED the URL to be the first one since this is the one that google indexes. Please tell me there is a way to change this???

??? Howdy.

Seams that the discussionhere has dwindled.

Anyway our pages have been removed from google.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...=Google+Search

Where as this search used to bring up all the Archive pages now only produces one link.

Anyone else experience this?

[high]* Elmer click install and ask -'could you please add my archive to the demo list?'-

:)

/me agrees and added it to the list

[high]* Xenon agrees and added it to the list
[/high]

Thx

I installed it - easy! Works great - thank you!

Question tho'... why cant I see these html archive files in ws-ftp?

because those html files don't exists really, they are redirections :)

OK, sorry for my ignorance, but when I run index.php where are they? Are they created on the fly?

if you call showthread/1-1.html .htacces redirects it to showthread. with parameters threadid1 and page 1.
now the page is generated dynamically :)

Hi :) I'm interested in your hack, but am curious about the .htaccess file...is it no longer neccessary with your hack or is it still... and if so, is it secure?
Thanks :)

it is neccessary, and why should it be insecure?

just look into the code to see there is nothing harmful in it.

Hi Xenon :),
I just thought that having a .htaccess file in user directories can be like extending some of your Webmaster privileges to anyone who can edit those files.
I could look at the source code, but don't know much of anything about the strings so I wanted to ask you...
Hey, I downloaded your hack but the zip did not even contain a .htaccess file.
:surprised:

look at the attached screenshot, the first file in the archive is clearly named as .htaccess

if you don't see that file you either haven't downloaded the zip correctly, or you are using a crappy linux OS which doesn't show you that file

I just wanted to extend a thank you for this hack.

I got hammered hard in the last week and a half by google, and inktomi both (and luckily seperately lol).. Real hard heh. As many as 55 bots on at once (and that happened several times), thanks so very much. :D

-Jason

Xenon,
I see it now...I hadn't realized I had an option to turn on/off view of hidden files. .htaccess was a hidden file. Clicking install :) Thank you

:)

enjoy it :)

Very goog indeed. But I've renamed forum=>forum.php - topic=>topic.php to make it work since my host does not uses mod_Rewrite.

Man! What is up with Google this month? I got the notification of the dance and I think my jaw hit the floor when I saw a whopping 28 listings in the www2 index. I hope that things correct themselves or it is going to be a SLOW month!
