Rick, please read further back in the thread for the reason as to why I have not rewritten the lastpost URL :) And WOL bug is something I'm still having problems with in the beta, as it works locally but not on live forums.

Clicks Install :nervous:

Dean:

Nice plugin. Some of my boards are in spanish so I had to edit it and make your replace lines look like this [^A-Za-z0-9-????????????]+
Of course with that change I had to modify the .htaccess file, so I changed yours into this:

Hi, found my way to this hack because I bought vbseo and they told me I couldn't download it because my site is inappropriate. :( Someone in the thread I created mentioned this hack. :) What's worse is today (xmas) I just got an email saying how I can save $20 when buying vbseo just for today. Grrrrrrr.

Anyway, after installing this particular hack here, I feel like it works on half of
my page content or something.
If I hover over the nav bar links they're the same as before.
If I move down and hover over 'Main Category' it links to http://www.420boards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1
If I hover for instance the first forum in the main category I get this:
http://www.420boards.com/f103-private-staff-room.html (looks accurate right?)
But if I move to the right and click on 'Last Post' for instance, the first one goes to:
http://www.420boards.com/showthread....=newpost&t=205

Also would it be advisable or not to change the F and T prefix to keywords on the site like Marijuana for T
and Cannabis for F for my particular site? Would it allow me to have more keywords in the search engines or whatever?

Woud someone please check out my site www.420boards.com and hover to let me know if everything seems to be working correctly or incorrectly?

Thanks for the help guys this looks like a great hack!!

yayvb: use this version - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=526

Just an update. As I get closer to releasing this modification, I've made a google/yahoo sitemap generator so you can submit your correct URLs to them. I've just tested a version on a friends live site and it all seems to work fast and efficiently. Please bare with me! :D

Thank you Dean! Waiting ... :)

Dean C: I would be posting this as a new thread in the beta forum of the new version.. But it said I dint have permissions to post a new thread after logging in... so I'm posting it here..

Some things to sday about your seo methods...

You are using a bad way to redirect to new URLs. I suggest using a 301 redirect, which helps google realize that its an old url going to a new one. If you dont know how to do that, the syntax is here: http://forum.time2dine.co.nz/google/...ects-5223.html

Also, I'm begging you, you NEED to rewrite the simialar threads. It helps google get around the site much better.

Also, something else that is improtant... You might want to consider adding a redirect in .htaccess to send anyone who types site.com to www.site.com so google dosnt index......

http://www.dnlodge.com/t428-how-many...o-a-month.html
..and..
http://dnlodge.com/t428-how-many-mov...o-a-month.html

here is the .htaccess code you can use... if you dont kn ow how to do it, although you probably do, lol...

###### Redirect to www.######
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^dnlodge.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.dnlodge.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^$ index.php

since google sees the non-www and www versions of the page as different domains, for some reason.

Just some suggestions... hope you will put them into play. Those were the biggest things that I noticed.


*****EDIT*****
I was just browsing my forum, and I saw the "next thread" and "previous thread" links at the bottom of the thread, and noticed they wernt rewritten. So I clicked it, and the link pointed to the page from where I clicked.

To see what I mean, go to http://www.dnlodge.com/t868-reserving-names.html and at the bottom of the thread, click the "next thread" link, and it basicly links to itself.

Just a minor bug.. If I see more, I'll report them, and sorry I wasnt able to post this in the forum dedicated to this version.

The old threads are redirected to the new ones using a 301 redirect. It seems I've overlooked sending a 301 redirect in my gateway script though :)! Good looking out. Also I didn't think about the previous / next links. Noted and shall be fixed.

I would like to say Dean, I dont like how you have a link to a random site in my footer. I wouldent care if it was all in text, or there was just a copyright from you (which dosnt need to be, only in the code) but a sitewide link on my pages.... I dont like that. How can I turn it into text and not a link??

I have barely any outgoing links on my site, testing some seo stuff, and this is ruining it. How can I remove your link to whatever site that is?

If it was like a link to this thread, or something HAVING to do with the subject, fine, but I dont like linking to that site, because its not relevant and isnt helping me with seo.............

It's my website, and it's a required copyright. It has everything to do with this modification as I have some future plans for my website which revolve around this modification.

By the way dn_lodge, the reason you couldn't post on the TR beta forum is because you didn't activate your account :) I've done it manually for you so you should be able to post there now.

I dont know why I didnt.... but thanks

Dean how do I get rid of these (in bold) in the url ......f96-span-classsmallfont....."pagename"..span.html

P.S. do you have any news for CEE language characters?

Well I'm guessing is that is in your URL, then the thread title was <span class="smallfont">pagename</span> In which case, that is a correct rewrite.

Great work, clicking install. Thank you!

Ok, but how do I remove this without changing font style? I think that formating should not be the part of url...

kafi please show me the thread.

I have send you the link.

Also do you have a problem with numbering of thread pages?

For instance if there is 26 pages and you want to jump to nr. 20 the link is incorrect and it will direct you to nr. 2 instead of nr.20

Simple The BEST, Thanks very much for sharing this, It works be great on my vb 3.5.2, Thanks again!

To see how it work www.lottosqueeze.org/forum
For now, no error messages.

Dean, a new version of DC SEO is coming up?

If its gonna be a long wait then i am gonna install the current version..

I have a question, why when I'm going on a user List online, on the some users I showing Unknown Location...and the page with .html extension, is that a Bug? Or it normal because the output isn't reconized by the board?

Sorry my poor english.

Ashok: Use this version, its in beta though, so checkback often for new versions: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=526

Installed it now... But i dont seem to notice any difference other than the copyright in the footer..

There are several differences - I'd stick with the current released beta available in the above link if you're going to use the hack at all - you'll be better off in the long run.

Thanks.. Installed the beta version.. No bugs.. :)

One more aspect i am keen to know more about is the Meta Description.. Specially since i have installed the "Welcome headers - Improve community registration rates" hack

Here is an example.. Of hows my pages are displayed in google and msn..

8 killed, 45 injured in Indonesia bombing - AshokForums

8 killed, 45 injured in Indonesia bombing Breaking News Home Forums Gallery Games Contact Us About Us ... You are currently viewing our boards as a guest which gives you limited access to view most ...

I want the Meta Description to be based on the Thread contents say contents from the first post and not on the Title and header.. can something be done about it?

I think vbSEO does that.. I do not have a paypal account nor do i have a international Credit card nor do i have that much money to buy vbSEO :(
meta descriptions?

Floris, I'm not sure what you mean by this.

I have the welcome headers installed on my site, but I am not experiencing your problems - I don't have them installed on the thread display primarily because I find them annoying to be globalized like that - but even so - I don't see any of the navbar contents present in your meta description - per that thread page:

"meta name="description" content="8 killed, 45 injured in Indonesia bombing Top Stories"

So I guess I either don't quite fully understand what you're attempting to impart or can't see the same problem you happen to be having.

I've got exams up til next saturday, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave you all for the next 9-10 days. I'll be back then, with plenty of free time (hopefully), and hope to fix the bugs people are reporting on the beta forum :) Many thanks especially to jlaine for his help thus far!

Nobody Know why the board say "Unknow location" on whois online users list, I attempt for cache is full?

i install it as follow, after i install it ,nothing happen, nothing change ,still php code directory, any one know why ? thanks

also , Mod_rewrite is enabled by default in my the servers.

i am using 3.5.3 version

no update ?

Is this going to work on v3.5.3?

It's working fine for me :)

It works on 3.5.3 - I'm running it - grab the latest beta available aforementioned on this thread @ teckreviews if you want to run it.

Ok, so I downloaded and installed this latest beta from Dean's site.
Seems that beside the two thread and forum options in vB options panel, I can't do anything else.
Due to the way its done (between htaccess, seourls.php and product) I'm afraid I might break something trying to tweak it to my needs.
Will future versions include more options? Can you share a bit of your plans Dean?

when's your update coming out?

I install beta2 modification on v3.5.3 board.
Bug? : "Previous Thread" and "Next Thread" don't work (show same thread).
One simple question: exist sitemap generator for that URLs??????

Well what more options do you want?

When it's ready :) When bugs are found, they have to be fixed, and without my beta testers, I can't find all the bugs by myself.
