Thanks! I didn't even think about excluding the placeholding banners to raise the clickthrough percentage. Simple but great javascript.

buro9, I have edited my original post to include a link pointing to your post.

I might start to look into fixing the bugs you pointed out, only problem (or not for some) is the VB3 is around the corner...:)

If my forums are installed in a subdomain say http://forums.mydomaindomain.com and not the root or a subdirectory like this http://www.mydomain.com/forums , how do i proceed ??

Any special changes to be made ??

Thanks

Looks like you have not RTFM.:)

What an awesome hack and additional features added! Great job.

I was just thinking, would it be beneficial to your search engine listing to have maybe a keyword in the file name? For example instead of

http://yoursite.com/t24232.html

it could be something like:
http://yoursite.com/XXXXXXX-24232.html (replace XXXX with any keyword you wish.

I'm not too sure how beneficial this might be for rankings, but I've seen it mentioned several times that having keywords in file names is better for rankings? Would this be hard to do or practical? Do you think it would be beneficial?

Or maybe even pulling in the title of the thread into the file name?

Maybe I'm totally off base here and don't have a clue of what I'm talking about :) If so, just tell me so.

Is all I get. Does that mean I am missing regex support in my mod_rewrite?

Nevermind, if anyone is looking for a fix:

:D

Could someone (ehem, moderators) edit this and put the link to the post in the first post? ;)

Ok, I have everything working but I have 1 question?

If you goto this thread:
http://www.intense-training.com/forums/t3457.html

and then goto the top of the page and click "General Discussion Board"

it goes to
http://www.intense-training.com/foru...hp3?forumid=12

instead of
http://www.intense-training.com/forums/f12.html


How can I fix that?

bump for help!

You can only resolve that by editing the PHP code.

Most of the links that are constructed use the templates... which you've already adjusted... but some use the PHP functions to generate the links... such as the pagination and bread crumb navigation bits.

I don't recall the precise change I did to have mine working... but you can emulate what I did by simply searching all of your PHP files for "forumdisplay" and then making the judgement call as to whether you should change that instance of it.

I think you're likely to find that bit in admin/functions.php though ;)
