sorry if this has been asked already and covered, but can someone briefly explain the differences between this and the vbseo that costs $149?

This only GENERATES a map to send to google and yahoo

but vbseo actually converts all your links on vbulletin to be keyword rich...

instead of showthread.php...blablabla this time it would be example www.domain.com/forum/threadnumber/something.html

which makes google and yahoo crawler index your pages higher because of the keywords

that's the difference

That's a rough explanation but check vbseo.com for more info

IMHO...

I have two sites, one with vbseo and this and one with just this. Being 100% honest Vbseo doesn't make a huge difference other than you can administer settings and monitor your site a lot easier. If you would have to struggle to afford it I wouldn't bother but if you have spare ?s go for it. It does have a lot of handy features.

I have vbadvanced installed in the root, so I setup the .htaccess to include /forums/ in it. I can access the xml.gz files just fine from the root, but when I try and access urllist.txt.gz, I get a "The webpage cannot be found" error. The urllist.txt.gz file exists in data just like the .xml.gz files.

http://www.broncosforums.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz works ok
http://www.broncosforums.com/urllist.txt.gz results in page not found

My .htaccess in the root (not forums folder) is:

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(sitemap.*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /forums/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

Any idea why I am getting an error?

Also, as I am using vBadvanced, I put vbseo_sm_vba in the addon generator modules and changed the sitemap file URLs to http://www.broncosforums.com. Is there anything else I should do to include my vBadvanced page in my sitemap? Do I need to add anything to the extra-urls.txt file?

just77me,

make sure that you set 0777 permissions for data/ folder.

tnedator,
you should use this rewrite rule:
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /forums/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

Black Tiger

I got something similar as Tnedator.
I also have vBA (3.0 RC2) installed and have a .htaccess in my web-root folder like this:

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /bbs/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

My forums are in the web-root/bbs folder.

Now google sees my sitemap and the url list, no problem.
But in the ACP under "vBSeo Sitemap Reports" when I look there it says my homepage is:
www.myforums.org/bbs whilest it should be www.myforums.org.
Also it says "Your forums sitemap index url: www.myforums.org/bbs/sitemap_index.xml.gz which also should be www.myforums.org/sitemap_index.xml.gz.

How do i fix it so vbSeo is displaying the correct url's?

By the way, does this make any difference if google is getting the sitemap in good order?
Or should I better point the sitemap to the /bbs folder so move my .htaccess file?

Black Tiger

02-07-2008 04:07 AM

Got another question, how do I use the vbseo_sm_vba.php? Or is that being used automatically? I removed both the // in front of this line:

PHP Code:


		
			
$vba_url = preg_replace('#[^/]*/$#', '', $vba_url);

Same question for downloads2.php. Both in the addons folder.

Hi I have a question.. I have this installed for 3 days, on the first 3 days I had about +150 URLs change per day.. And yesterday, I got a + 195 000 URLs change..

Is that good/normal? what does it mean?

Black Tiger

02-09-2008 01:31 AM

I arealdy figured out my previous questions myself.

But there is a problem with the downloads2.php addon, this will give an error, maybe it's not up2date anymore? Becaue we already have updated Downloads II several times.
Can this be fixed?

Going to install this right now. Hopefully it works and makes my site famous. Hopefully the installation is as simple as it sounds (just upload files) :eek:

i installed as per the readme file, and everything went ok

logged in to vbseo-map page, and clicked on "Run Sitemap Generator "

it generated the files successfully

then at the bottom of the page, when i click on "view details"

it shows me the stats of the links created

and there is links to the files, which the URL shows its in my root http://www.mysite.com/thefilename

however, when i click on the file, it shows me a 404 page not found

i found that the files are generated inside public_html/vbseo_sitemap/data/

what is wrong here?

My forums path is http://www.mysite.com/forums
- How do I have to configure the .htaccess ?
- What url should I submit to google : http://www.mysite.com OR http://www.mysite.com/forums

thanks

I did read them but I still have problems.
My server is MS Win 2003, and I don't have access to "httpd.ini". I used .htaccess in my http://root/forums and I changed the 'http://root/forums/vbseo_sitemap/data/' folder to 777 from my control panel.
Any ideas ?

Black Tiger

02-10-2008 02:51 AM

No sorry, on windows you don't have any chmod 777 as far as I know that's only on Linux servers. So I wouldn't know.

I think I found a solution in this thread to my downloads addon problem.

Black Tiger

02-10-2008 03:00 AM

I wonder if the coder stopped support over here, that's no good commercial for the big vbseo. It would be little effort to put the updated downloads2.php in the download packages.
It was already fixed in 2006!!!
Anyway I'm still thankfull for this mod though.:)

I don't have VBSeo, I only have this mod. Seems with the adjustment in this thread somewhere the downloads II addon works fine unless for a parse failure in the sitemap4.xml.gz.

But another problem now resides, since I installed this, Google Webmastertools gave me this:
Unreachable URL's (805) with reason "network unreachable".
All the threads in there are pointing to my whole site, thus to /forums and also /forums/archive so it seems google can't read my archive directory anymore. And I don't have a clue why.

Any idea's?
If I click a link which is in there, I can see the posts without problems.

The Webcrawl statistics give this error notices.

Manual run it in cron jobs

Black Tiger

02-12-2008 11:41 PM

Nobody any clue? Also my sitemap is giving 1 error:
Line 99909 Parseerfout (Dutch for parse error), only in sitemap_4.xml.gz but I can't find anything.

Also in diagnostics under webcrawl (in google adsense webmastertools) my amount of unreachable url's is growing every day with error network unreachable.

I really need help with this otherwise I have to uninstall because this is killing my site on google.

Also these kind of links are being created wrongly:

Code:

http://www.mysite.org/forums/archive/index.php/index.php?t-1180.html

instead of

Code:

www.mysite.org/forums/archive/index.php?t-1180.html

(so 1times index.php too many).

sokorelis,

in case of IIS server you should setup rewrite rules in ISAPI_Rewrite module configuration. If you don't have ISAPI_Rewrite, you can manually move sitemap files from vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder to the forums root folder.

What is the error you get?

Either downloads2.php (adjusted with the text found here in this thread) or the vba addon is causing my last sitemap file to have a parse error.
This is wat my downloads2.php says at this moment:

Code:

$mods = $db->query("SELECT id,name FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_cats ORDER BY `id`"); 

    while ($mod = $db->fetch_array($mods)) 

    {     

        $url = $vbseo_vars['bburl'].'/downloads.php?do=cat&id='.$mod['id']; 



        if(VBSEO_ON) 

            $url = vbseo_any_url($url); 



          vbseo_add_url($url, 1.0, '', 'daily'); 

    } 



    $mods = $db->query("SELECT id as fid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_files"); 

    while ($mod = $db->fetch_array($mods)) 

    {     

        $url = $vbseo_vars['bburl'].'/downloads.php?do=file&id='.$mod['fid']; 



        if(VBSEO_ON) 

            $url = vbseo_any_url($url); 

          vbseo_add_url($url, 1.0, '', 'daily'); 

    }

And ofcourse the problem described in post 620 about the rising amount of unreachable url's by Google's crawler, but that has nothing to do with the downloads addon.

where are the mod developers? their mod isnt working properly and they arent providing support :s

Black Tiger

02-15-2008 02:53 PM

The mod is working ok, but the addons are not as supposed to, neither are they updated.
User vbSEO is the coder/developer. Seems to me he's to busy with the paid vbSeo version to give support to this mod.
Maybe he only views this thread once a month, I don't now.

Yes, you can make a cronjob for it. Normally by installation this cronjob would be generated automatically for version 3.6.8.
See section E in the readme.html in the docs directory, for how to put in a cronjob manually.

MySQL Error : Lost connection to MySQL server during query

I know not much about Mysql server, but this speaks for itself. Problem is you're losing the connection during the query. Maybe you can try to put persistent connections to on in the /includes/config.php.

Quote:

$config['MasterServer']['usepconnect'] = 1;

I'm not sure if it helps, but trying can do no harm. If it's already on, try turning it off.
If this won't help, I don't know either.

Found also that all the php files in this mod were made using some Windows editor like Wordpad or someting like that.
Wenn looking in Editpad Lite, they can all be converted to "unix", and that's no good either. Should already be distributed this way. Using windows editor can cause the risk having unvisible layout signs in documents, which can cause linux configfiles cause strange things.
So the mod is very nice, the quality and support are bad. Sorry but that's an honest opinion.

Hi all, thanks for this mod.

I have it installed ok (I think) and I'm receiving emails telling me that the new sitemap.xml file has been created and the search engines are pinging ok.

But if I go into http://www.domain.co.uk/forums/vbseo_sitemap/index.php and select http://www.domain.co.uk/forums/sitemap_index.xml.gz it comes up with a 404 page not found error.

If the sitemap is being created, where is it being stored?

I don't have vBSEO installed, running vBulletin 3.6.8.

Thanks for any help.

what is the full add-on file code you are currently using?

alessai2,

is the sitemap created successfully when executed in vbseo_sitemap/ interface?

DaFlameking,

please make sure that your server supports mod_rewrite module and rewrite rules are allowed in .htaccess.

glennybee,

did you create .htaccess file in forums folder?
