Installed and working great.

I have to change the force type definition in .htaccess to get it work on my server.
My .htaccess looks like this:
perhaps it work also for you or you get an idea where to look ;)

@Cold Steel: well, from what i read, you do not have installed mod_mime which is required for this hack to work.

How do I find out if I have mod_mime installed?

In cpanel I see this:

it is in your httpd.conf file

just look if the mime module is outcommended or not.
I can't help much more, i'm not a server administrator ;)

It's me again ^^

I have released a new Version of this Hack (again).
People who already have that hack installed, don't need to upgrade.

I have just rewritten small parts of it, so now you can use a css file for the archive easily.
Also i have added support for renaming the forum/topic file so that mod_mime is no longer needed absolutelly. (it's still recommended, but not needed anymore)

Be careful, if you have already installed that hack, that you look at the config.php changes
I have renamed some variables, so be warned ;)

edit what variables? edit them to what?

the variables are in config.php and you have to edit the forumurl archive url, title to represent your Forum, i'm sure your url isn't localhost, as it's in the default ;)

yeah, I just figured it out and was coming back to alter my post.... forgive me, late night last night... :)

*gg*

no problem ;)

How would I place ads on this page? (google)

no idea, i never tried google ads or such, but editing header.php or footer.php should be the correct way :)

Awesome. /me installs.

yup header & footer

I installed

Thanks

When I do a view source, no meta keywords or meta description can be found.


Is this a bug or a problem with my installation?


http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/Lin...hive/index.php

actually that's correct.

there are no metatags currently, as i did port over the vb2 version, and didn't think of the meta keywords and descriptions you can enter in the vb3 acp.

thx for reminding me, i'll add that :)

as a new version or ??? Please give me instructions on how to get them in ..... :)

it will be needed to change the fetch_header() function a bit, so i'll upload the fixed version (once i did it ^^) and then all you have to do is to upload the archive_functions.php again :)

This is getting MUCH better search engine support than VB3's /archive after installing it and tweaking it a bit I'm seeing MUCH better placement. It didn't seem to get indexed until I put the google ads on every page... I also added my lil mod to put the names in the URL. I need to modify it again for a character limitation.

You can see my mods in action:

Not quite the case. Google sees this as duplicate content, and penalizes for that.

/me clicks install

thanks!

/me Install

a great mod .. thanks but why u dont make it so they can reply or freat thread .. it hink this will be cool ..

peace.

Xenon,

Thanks for the great Archive! I used to use it under v2 and was getting indexed like crazy. I thought the same thing would happen with the v3 archive but I was wrong. As mentioned in another post I dont think the spiders like the .php tags in the urls.

I'm a bit stuck since I installed your hack and I'm getting blank pages or 404 pages? I thought that maybe it was a mod_mime problem but I got the exact results when editing CONFIG, FORUM and ARCHIVE to have the .php extension.

Can you assist?

@H2K: well, of course it wouldn't be hard to add quick reply boxes or quick thread boxes to the archive, but the initial plan of that mod is, to keep it plain and simple, that's why it's called Easy Archive :)

@smetas: hmm, sounds like the mod_mime problem, you're right.
well, if you change the extensions of topic to topic.php and forum to forum.php and afterwards edit the config.php file, it should work.

I can't see a reason why it wouldn't
Let me take a look at it, after you renamed everything, right now it just shows that mod_mime doesn't work.

Thankyou for your reply

I need to add it All this like NEw reply ...new thread... or quick reply and thankyou very mach for your help

i have post a topic about this Mod

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=66991

in the php &MySQL forum ......

Xenon.,

I changed the file extensions to PHP and also edited the config file to have the coresponding file names with the same results. Any clues?

http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/arc/

hmm, the files are working, it seems that your server does not execute files, if they are before a /.

that might be just a small setting to change, but actually i have no idea, where or what this setting may be :(

I'm in the exact same boat as smestas. :(

Oh well.. time to hound the host provider to install mod_mime. :)

Well it's installed and I am trying to use the PHP extentions but it does not archive anyhting, I get 404 pages!

Have you changed the config file as well as the extensions of the files?

If yes, i don't know, it works for me perfectly, so it might be a problem like smestas has, and that's a probl?em of the host, nothing i can resolve :(

Works beautifully. Thank you so much for this great hack! :D

Woooooo Hoooooooooo!!!

I moved to a new server and it works GREAT!!

Thanks for the AWESOME hack Stefan!!! Now all I got to do is dress it up a bit.

I'm glad to hear Simon :)

New server is something very usefull, isn't it ;)

Let say if I've already submited my site to google before installing this hack, do I still need to re-submit it once over again? Or isit what u mean by submiting was using the different url? :- "http://www.myforum.org/forum/newarchive" ?

Thanks.

I noticed one more thing, after installing it overwrite whatever style I using.

no, you don't have to resubmit again.

google will find it in it's turn itself when your site has been listed there already once.

and second: it's doesn't use any forumstyles, it's a plain archive optimized for spiders ;)

Ok, got it. Thanks. :)

Yes, I knew that. My apologise, this got nothing to do with your hack in fact I'm the to be blamed. LoL *Corrupted cookies* make my life difficult.

*gg*
no prob, as long as you found out the real reason ;)

I have installed this program, and as far I know I have mod_mime installed on my server as I've tested it with other scripts.

However, I'm still having trouble with this script when it comes to reading the archives of threads and posts. I called my directory "archive" so... (ex: "archive/forum (and forum.php)/1-1.html") shows up as a broken link. When using the function explode to make it read as a directory, to where is that exactly being directed to?
