Same here

Seams like us 3.8 users have been forgotten.

I'll probably use something different before switching over to vb4.
And why change what works.

Those reports are only available if you have vBSEO installed.

It used to say that somewhere..

is anyone having a problem getting this to run with php5.3? I am testing out a new server with php5.3 and as soon as I activate this plugin my forum grinds to a halt.

Hi sorry for disturb .
i install this plugin but give"s me a error !
[SECTION START] tags [11,313.0Kb mem used] [365s (+365s)] ...

Same as above.

I had this working fine for about a week and now when I try to manually run the generator I get the following error. Anyone know what this is about.

[SECTION START] tags [6,208.1Kb mem used] [6,681s (+6,681s)]

I see, if i start manual the script:

What can i do? I use vB 3.8.1

I am getting error on trying to view the sitemap file :
how to fix it ? I am using mysqli and eAccelerator on the server

Problem I've run across in installing this mod. I've CHMOD the data folder to 777 and followed the instructions but I see the below attached image in my admincp. In the download package there were no files for the admincp directory, were there supposed to be. Usually this sort of thing means I'm missing the admincp files but there were none in the zip download.

it looks like no one offers help any more for free version, in vbseo forums also they are giving help only for paid users. This sucks :(

Part of the problem might be this is an old version. See post #606 in this thread, they released a new version in a new thread.

Thanks that fixed my prob.

I have V.4.1.5

It s work ?

Actually both the attachments are same, u can find the same attachment name :(

But they are providing support in that thread. At least occasionally.

some how the prob fixed all of its own when I tried re-install again strange :o

Creating Sitemaps according to Usergroup Permissions, I want to change Usergroup Default=(1) to (8)
Because Visitors can't see all the forums in my site.
But I created a usergroup for Crawlers can see all forums.

How can I change the usergroup settings for sitemapping?
Here is I changed the file But still generator can't index all forums:

If visitors can't see threads or forums they can't be in your sitemap. If someone follows a link to your forum from google and the page isn't accessible to them as google indexed it they can report you and google will remove you from their database.

All pages are accessible, But guests are required to login or register.
I don't think it will be a problem, because there is no HTTP error like 404 etc.
All pages are accessible after logging in.

Many sites are using "Member Bots" Mod, But i never heard this problem.
Also if this option would restricted for search engines, Why vbSeo added this definition/option on its file.
Here is script explaining us it's possible, but not working..
I just want settings for this option changing default usergroup ID for Guests.

You can't require them to register to see posts. What googlebot sees must have the same content as a guest not logged in would see.

I can understand you, Thanks.
But a member (Developer of this product) has replied about this:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....9&postcount=14

Also Here is vBulletin Link for MemberBot:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=108070

Is vbulletin publishing mods like that (Out of SearchEngines policies) or giving permission for publishing this mods in its forums.

As I said, I just need How to change default usergroup for guests for vBseo Sitemap Generator.

Can Anybody solve that ?

Listen, this is the last I will say about this, you can make up your own decision...

however this quote from your link:

Is just flat out wrong. There is no major site that does that because it is indeed the very definition of "cloaking" and will get you banned from google.

Before you accept his comment find for yourself just 1 major site that does this. You can't- because there are none. There are sites that do "tricks" but trust me there is no major site that gets their pages indexed by google and then requires you to register or pay to see them- even free registration.

One example is http://www.experts-exchange.com/. If your a computer/technology person you may often find them in google as an answer to a technical question.

If I send you a link to a "solution" say this one: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Stor..._27297469.html

You can't see it without registering... scroll to the very bottom... nothing.

But if you search for it in google:
http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy-a...=1735&bih=1256

It is the first real link on the page... follow it from google.

Now scroll to the bottom.

Look- Now ALL the answers are visible at the bottom of the page. It still looks like you need to pay and register to see the answers, but if you keep scrolling they are all there.

Why? Because they HAVE to be or else experts-exchange would be banned from google.

See they use a trick- they check the page referrer in the script- if you are referred from google you get to see the answers for free. If you are referred from somewhere else, say from here, you don't get any answers.

So once again, and for the last time, no matter what someone tells you, you are not allowed to cloak content from google and that includes requiring free registration.

Thanks for your care and opinions about Google Policies,
I asked this matter to google (as being First Party).

And My Opinion: IPB Sofware has this option as default and I know too many site always upwards of searches.
However This is not Google Policies discusscion thread, this is vbseo sitemap generator mod thread.

Also I'm still interested in for real problem,
I just need How to change default usergroup for guests for vBseo Sitemap Generator.
Can Anybody really solve that ?

No you can use this mod without vBSeo installation.
Just Use this settings in ACP "vBSeo Installed : NO"

Is anyone else having problems with the Yahoo ping? Mine has been failing since 9/15/11.

the addon dont ping yahoo, what should i do ?

Come on.. Where is the sitemap?. Doesn't it open up in a web browser? I couldn't open it with the older version of this and still cant after I upgraded. Here is what I believe is the sitemap URL... ( http://www.wv-music.com/forum/sitemap_index.xml.gz ) I get a "404 not found" message. Does that look correct? I want to get it added to my google dashboard but I cant find a valid URL. Please help.

It will not ping yahoo. Its a problem with yahoo not vBSEO Sitemap. There is a thread on it on the vBSEO forum.

You cannot open a gzip compressed file in your browser. Browsers do not read it like a html page. You submit the sitemap to search engines. If you want a physical page you have to enter your admincp and then go into your vBSEO sitemap in the menu and enter your password and then there is a link to view the sitemap in your browser there.

I have not marked as installed yet because I am not finished setting it up. I will when I do though.

is changing location of sitemap from root to forum root ( in setting of sitemap generator) will afftect any indexed pages... ?? i have changed n resubmitted in webmaster tools from domain.com/sitemapnames to domain.com/forum/sitemapnames.. i have more than 60,000 indexed before that... i dont think as you are not changing the urls in sitemap anyway.. it just applies to location n redirection of ur sitemaps... AM I RIGHT?

Is this the version for vBSEO 3.6.0?

I just upgraded and was using 3.3.0

Vbseo seems to be installed perfect, no error message etc

Many thanks.

But there is no Vbseo copyright text in the botom of my forum. I didn't modify or remove any txt or php file.

Any Idea ?
Thanks in advance.

This isn't VBSEO. VBSEO is a commercial product you must purchase on their website. This is simply a free sitemap generator they give way for free.

Thanks A Bunch <3
