Ok. Any ideas on this?

any idea when 1.7 will be out? And does it work with Zoints SEO url rewrite?

Question: What does this mean?

I've done this before, but I forgot exactly what this instruction means.

Thank you.

Any ideas on this?

Right click the folder with your ftp client, "permissions" or "chmod" or something like that. type 777. Thats all.

Freshprince,

caliman,

SE bots logging only works on boards with vBSEO installed, make sure that it is enabled in your vbseocp.

Just checked, it's set to yes, yet I haven't had anything logged since July. :surprised:

Couple of things I noticed. This does run well on a 3.6.4 board. Great mod by the way. However, the documentation is a little lacking.

Therefore, I'll post what I found to be a pain for me to search for:

1. When you setup your CRON via the control panel, you must set the new cron job option "Log Entries" otherwise it will not log in the admincp at all.
2. When you have run a successful creation and are going to submit it to Google, you must have a site setup for http://www.your-domain.com/forum/.
3. When you submit your sitemap for spidering you must tell google that it is located at http://www.your-domain.com/forum/sitemap_index.xml.gz (your mod_rewrite needs to be working properly and in the /forum/ directory .htaccess file properly to work.
4. For those of us who are using vBAdvanced CMPS you MUST make one very big change after activating the vbseo_sm_vba.php addon in the admincp Options panel: Find the following code in your /forum/vbseo_sitemap/addon/vbseo_sm_vba.php file:
   Code:

   ---

   $vba_url = $vbseo_vars['bburl'] . '/';

   ---

   Replace that with the following:
   Code:

   ---

   $vba_url = '';

   ---

   otherwise your root links will look like this: http://www.your-domain.com/forum/http://www.your-domain.com/index.php?s=blah and as we all know that will give you a big old hairy 404.

While I say that this is a wonderful modification that does work on 3.6.4, the documentation should be updated and the code on the vba module fixed to avoid any further issues with people giving up in frustration on getting this thing to work. This information took me well over 6 hours to wade through to find the fixes. I would have preferred to not have had to waste my time like that if at all possible. Thus, I post this in the hopes that someone else does not waste theirs needlessly.

Just my 2pennies. Take it with a grain of salt.

I do have one question though. How does Google know via the auto-notification that it is *my* sitemap that it is being notified about since there is no place for me to add a link or other information to send it to? Just curious is all...

You are actually supposed to create the sitemap for the topmost level.. ie, root, rather than /forums/. The .htaccess does the magic part, and google sees the files as being in root, rather than /forums/vbseo_sitemap/data/.

Google then knows that is the sitemap to update, as it comes from that domain. (To the best of my knowledge). :)
