Is there a way of making this area (white) transparent, it looks fine on my light style's but terrible on my dark styles.

Do I need to edit the skin-tfh.css? and in what way.

Thanks for any help.

skin-tfh.css

.yui-navset .yui-content {
background:#ffffff;
border-top:5px solid #ADCCE1;
}

change the background element.

NOTE: you'll want to have a different CSS file for your dark and light styles..

Send me a pm with your url.
I can tell you search engines do have permissions to access and if you use sitemaps there is no difference...

This is a great plugin
modification is actually a very useful and excellent ...
base all my forum on this amendment ...
I'm hoping to use the final result ...

My question is for developers ...
there will always be upgrades to be compatible plugin provided with vbulletin? because it makes me sad but hey seen good changes over time its developers let it die and stop being incompatible.

Congratulations!

Greetings

lol ya wrong there, fair play google knows your pages via sitemap and may go to them directly. But if they search your homepage and cant find no more links.

If it doess see the link to the page it will make the relevant link (hpyerlink text) increase the page its pointing to for that keyword.

IMO i wudnt use this . if they can make it load all but only show on click that wud b great

I am a bit lost by your post, "if they search your homepage"? as in googling for "blah site:blah.com"? that still works or are you meaning on the page.
Hey, its cool if you dont believe me, use what you like, I am just trying to inform you that google really doesnt care about 1 page out of x pages on your site and it wont affect your rankings at all tbh. Its one page, not even a long tail page... if anything google probably ignores keywords on the index page due to its limited content appeal. Its the threads that matter.
I have used this for a long time now and my site grows and grows. I had a non ajax version before and saw NO drop at all but ymmv (your mileage may vary)

Hey I missed this before,
If you need to remove the table that tfh uses look for {PREFIX}tabs (mine is vb_tabs for example)
Take a DB backup and then remove that table only. Thats the only table used by this mod.

daydie

05-19-2011 03:39 PM

what im sayin zero, is that you know aswell as i do. that if a page is linking to your site E.G "Window Cleaners" google follows it and ranks that page for that keyword higher (with more relavance)!

So if all pages are interlinking in and out it makes the robot scan your pages multiple of times giving your website a great overall appearance.

Am i wrong?

The ranking is based on external sites linking to your pages which is why sitemaps fix the issue and also the quality of the page content. How your site is internally linked is not the ranking factor.

Has this been answered? couldn't see reply

Went in very easily - I saw this below and included <noscript> tags around the 'old' forum display script (rather than delete) so crawlers (who only see text) can see the standard forum layout. Also if A user has script disabled the standard layout is shown.

thanks for a great mod

Cheers

Roy

Sorry I'm a noob where is the forumhome template I'm I putting this code?

Thanks for your help

So far after 2 weeks using this I see no drop off to do with SEO, infact today I have had the most members and guests view my forum than ever before.

Was at 2000 or there abouts, today so far,

Code:

Most users ever online was 3,353, 21-05-2011 at 05:44 PM.

Having a slight issue:

Installed the mod, uploaded the files, made the template edits, installed the product, and set up the tabs in the admincp.

The tabs display the correctly selected forums and then repeat ALL forums afterwards. For example:

Tab 1:

Displays Forums Selected For Tab 1

Then Displays ALL forums again below those selected forums

Tab 2:

Displays Forums Selected For Tab 2

Then Displays ALL forums again below those selected forums

What did I do wrong???

Cheers!

EDIT:

Found it ... it was with the 2nd edit in the FORUMHOME template

kderentz

05-27-2011 10:10 PM

One other question ....

How come I cant limit the user groups who can see the default tab? My site is going to be a closed site (in the fact that you can only see the forums after you register and your reg is approved).

i have a problem, i want my main tab to have these forums

Code:

3,4,5,6,7,8,112,9,10,98,106,107,108,139,138,120,105,129,122,123,124,125,126,11,12,110,75,15,16,17,19,20,119,121,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,131,21,22,23,74,24,41,113,25,26,27,28,29,42,130,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,39,40,139,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,117,57,118,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73

but it cuts off halfway, is there a way to bypass the limit?

and is it bad for SEO?

i don't think it is bad for seo, plenty of forums have tabbed index's. Now, on the other hand, will having that many tabs confuse your users. Yes. In the most possible nicest way.

daydie

05-30-2011 06:25 AM

it IS bad for seo you noobs lol..... login to google. goto webmaster tools. Use the spider viewer tool. and you will see that it does not bring up ANY forums because they are hidden.

i wish yas could fix this as i would use it. as its neat

I had been waiting for 4.1.4 to test before new version, I have just updated to 4.1.4 and all is good but a few fixes to match up with vbulletin.

I am looking for a fix to that, initially use forum category id's as it should pull all the subforums below the category.
As for SEO, no it is not negative if you use sitemaps.

Erm it does, it has worked on every version of 4.1 so far and works fine on my 4.1.4 board.
What problem are you getting?

RedDevil

06-20-2011 04:50 PM

Are we closer to an updated version yet?

Add tabs below navbar to the wish list ;) think we spoke about this earlier :D even have them as a seperate bar might be good.

BTW works fine on VB4 4.1.3 those having issues must have not done install correctly or some other mod is conflicting.

kderentz

06-20-2011 08:31 PM

I have been able to get the tabs all displaying and link to the correct pages but it always thinks its on the home page so none of the sub links work :(

Can someone guide me through this. I would be willing to donate/pay some money as I got a quote from one of the theme guys and he wants to charge me $200 to code it if I cant get this mod to work for me.

I have used this addon since we went vb4 and my site has grown and grown and I have seen no SEO hit.
Think about your forum home, other then the right column showing last post date/thread it has no real dynamic content that search engines would care about.
Sitemaps ensures you content is indexed properly not the forum home as such.
Remember as well that if we were to say dump the tabs content into the page as hidden div's the page would be slower to load which google cares about now.

to submit sitemaps, do i have to enable "Enable Automatic Sitemap Generation"?
