Glad, you got it up and running. :)
Now, guys, make me favor... can you search and find out if it's recomended to have a link back to the actual forums home page (from the archive pages)? I want to make sure if the crawlers need this... My theory is that they don't need it, but you never know, better be safe then sorry. Let me know please. Thanks. |
Here it is another interesting mod I made to my forums, to link back to archives.
This will help because the crawlers will see the friendly URL's easier. Basically the mod links every forum/thread to the archive. To test it, mouse over each forum or thread icon, while viewing my forums. Also, check the link I added under the thread title, while viewing the actual (not archived) thread. TEMPLATE: forumhome_forumbit_level1_post FIND: Code:
<td valign="top"><img src="{imagesfolder}/$forum[onoff].gif" border="0" alt=""></td> Code:
<td valign="top"><a href="forumdisplay/f-$forum[forumid].html"><img src="{imagesfolder}/$forum[onoff].gif" border="0" alt="$forum[title] Archive"></a></td> FIND: Code:

You know i had it all working! Well everything has gone down now!
The forums aswell as the archive are giving server 500 errors! I looked at the error log and this is what it has been inputing Code:
[Tue Jan 21 19:18:48 2003] [alert] [client 212.104.129.218] /home/lcdmod/public_html/forums/.htaccess: Invalid command 'RedirectMatch', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration |
No need to suspect nothing related to my hack because there is nothing wrong with it.
Since you had it working perfectly and all of the sudden it didn't work anymore, you should ask your host (or yourself) what it was changed onto your server settings between the laps of time you had it working and the one it did not. The log show it clearly that is a host problem. |
Looks like your host fixed their problem...

what i did was.. delete the .htaccess file and reuploaded it.. and its working now..
I figured out that the problem happened 2 hours after everything was working.. ie hack installed.. The forums have been up for longer then 2 hrs with hack functional! So hopefully it seems ok and stable with no errors! Feel free to add the link to the "archives working" on the front page! to make people install :) Once again thank you! |
Is already there. :)
BTW, always upload a .htaccess file as htaccess.txt, then rename it on the server, as mentioned in the readme file. I guarantee you it was related to your host, they probably fixed their error there... EDIT: You forgot to upload your arrow.gif image in this folder: /forums/blueimages |
As I said, optimizing the forums with all the tips I posted in the first link, will make your site visible in any major search engine.
Google likes my site, take a look below... |
There is a minor but very important bug that I noticed, while accesing the main archive file.
To fix it, add this line, at the bottom of your htaccess.txt file: Code:
RedirectMatch 301 /archive$ http://[high]www.yoursite.com/forum[/high]/archive/ I updated the .zip files. |
Hi,
I have finally found the time to take 5 minutes to uninstall the previous version and install the 1.2 version. http://www.creations.nl/forum/archive/ Looking great. Feel free to add me in your first post. styleid=1 (open forum default style) styleid=5 (open forum mozilla style) |
