Here's what I did. I edited the config file, made the new directory, uploaded the files. When I run the url in my browser, I get a no permissions error.

What do you mean permission error?
If you are logged in as Admin you see all forums, just like the normal board, if you allow viewing of it to guests, I believe guests can view the archive etc. Its just like your forums, without the layout, and in a form that the spider can 'eat' it :)

Do you have "Guests Viewing" off? If so, then this archive won't work for you, since google won't beable to spider it.

No, I don't have guests viewing off. here's my link:

It's a mod_rewrite problem. You'll need to append the 3 lines in the .htaccess file to your ROOT .htaccess file. The problem is, there is a .htaccess file in a directory below /forums/archive/ and it's over-ruling the commands. I forgot to add this info in readme.

how do i do that?

what directory would it be in? Inside my forums directory?

He means the root directory. As high as you can go on your server.

This is sometimes also your httpd.conf

If you are on ensim, I believe HTTPD.Conf can be only accessed by the admin, and <virtualblah> won't work in htaccess.

So much luck with that. :p
By the way, skuz, read your PM. :)

Chruser,

To download hacks or receive support you will need to go to this page and enter your email address, to show you are licensed. (you will need to use your customer number and password to access that page)

Thank you.

There are always downsides with changing your email, people tell me all the time. At least I got that proved now. :D

LOL!!!

Pfft. :P
Either way, the hack simply refuses to work, as it gives me a white page (find the link above). Of course, the hack has proved to work for others, so it's only human error, but since I'm too proud to admit that I'm a stupid fool, please help me out, so I can still have my ego.

I'm a bit confused... has this hack been released or does this thread just deal with Xenon's hack?

Thanks for enlightening me. :)

The hack was never released by me, but SkuzzY plans to finish it and release it :)

I really want this hack as well!

LoL WIcked

I've beta tested it, and it seems to work for everyone but me. SkuZZ even helped me out with no luck, so the problem has to be server related. It's just showing a white screen. :(

Hey guys
check out my archive, with just pure php I have made it work like mod_rewrite
http://www.noxmedia.net/support/archive/index.html
Note the
(http://www.noxmedia.net/support/archive/forum/3.html)
WEe :) Now Its time for me to go back and see what I modified, I modified quite a bit of stuff.

Hey, let me know when you can release this. I want it. :)

I can't release it, because Xenon made it, but if he decideds to give it to you being his friend and all, I will be glad to share my modification :)

Arunan, you can talk to SkuzzY to share the modifications with him.
He has my ok to release the hack once it's finished, so i'm sure you can work on it together to optimize it and release it afterwards

I would definately be interested in this hack when you release it.

Looking good. I have to say that its been very frustrating that our boards are not getting index. for that matter only 68 pages in our main site are index at Google. We have a massive data base of Roller coaster and Amusement parks and Nada. Not a one is indexed. Very upsetting. I hope this hack works.

Our board stats: Total Threads: 21,051 | Total Posts: 313,234

So you can see we are fairly active. :)

Thanks

I see....cklaszlo...I would suggest getting help from Erwin...his site is listed as 1 and 2 in google for his keywords. Him and Filburt know alot about these stuff.

any news on the realese of this google spider ?

hmm, i don't have news, waiting for Skuzzy :)

pleas change your sigimage, you are beyond the 300 Pixels wide limit

Please do release this hack!! I'm looking forward to it. :D

Thanks DrkFusion! I'll give them a shout. Although this hack might work for us.

I am also eagerly awaiting this hack :)

really interested in the hack

I am interested too :-p

You should make give a shout to Skuzzy...he maybe forgot, he does run a pretty busy blizzard games forum.

Regards

Thanks for the Hack!

One question I I know its a repeat but I must be going blind (LOL) how can I hide our private forums? Or is it a cookie issue and since I have the correct permission I see the private forums?

How do I put a black border around the list so it fits our site look?

Also, FYI.

in topics.php there is a typo:

On line 56: include "$archiveurl/footer.php";

should read:

include "$archiveurl/header.php";


Thanks

Skuzzy, please let me know when you release this new hack of yours. I'm very excited about it! My email: mattcary@mindspring.com

Regards,

Matt

Hm.... the first post in this thread was made 11-29-02 and still no release...??

@cklaszlo: if you are logged in, you can see the private forums, if you log out, you can't see privates (or you set the wrong permissions in your ACP :P)

@Arunan: i have as much contact to Skuzzy as you have, so all i can do is wait ;)

I released it: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=47087

Sorry for the wait everyone. I hope it was worth it ;)

SkuZZy

Thanks for Replying Skuzzy! I will be installing this first thing Monday!

Ok, a few important questions.

What is mod_rewrite?

Does it work on W2K/IIS servers?

Is there a way to do this on W2K/IIS servers?
