Thanks big guy. Well I want to make sure everyone is happy, is important to me.
Plus, people know me for writing decent code, that performs well in vBulletin, so I don't want to break this little reputation I have... :D
Is ok, is supposed to be like that. The beauty of my script compared to others is that it will not add another subfolder to the actual /archive folder.
The crawler will think that you placed all .html "forum thread" files into a new folder called /forumdisplay.
Let's take an example Floris. This is what I use:
---[forum < your normal forum
------[archive < forcetyped archive main page folder
------[forumdisplay < all subforums and thread titles are listed here
------[showthread < all posts are listed here

Instead of:
---[forum
------[archive
---------[forumdisplay
---------[showthread

Is proven that search engines index faster if you have your subfolders closer to the root. That's why I used this technique.
Cool huh? :)Yes, the code is correct, don't panic. ;)

Nice work Teck!

Is there any chance that you'll provide the template installations in a text file so that it can be manually installed too?

Hi Logician,
Thanks for the comments. To install manually the templates, simply look in vbarchive.php file, they are at the top.
Copy and paste the template title/content.

Why do you want to add them as custom templates? The installer will create a "Archive Templates" group and set your templates for each style you have on your board. It will save you time and is easier, overall, using the installer...

No big deal.. I usually prefer to work manually instead of using install scripts, that's why I asked. Nevermind, I installed it to a test board and acquired the templates from there.. ;)

I have installed it to my board and it's working very well. I have made some modifications&translations and still some work to do but as far as I can see, I can safely say that it's coded very well in every terms.. Very good work! :glasses:

Btw. I like smilies be parsed so coded a small add-on and it's doing well. Here it is, in case other people also want to parse smilies in archive driven pages:

sorry.. updated..

Version 1.3 released. :)

I will upgrade later today :)

I wonder who is rating this thread with low scores? :rolleyes:

The hack is advanced and well written and FREE. It does not have any problems as far as I can see. It adds a very valuable asset to our boards. The thread is also useful to give a lot of information about search engine indexing. Hack author is giving support for every single posts.

So why low rating?!?

It's a shame..

It gets 5 stars from me..

Email received, and quickly upgraded to v1.3.
Thanks again for the great hack.

Hwu

Cool upgrade! I will do the upgrade tonight. :)
Thanks Teck...
