Ok, will do. :)

TECK	01-23-2003 10:09 PM

I reposted above... :p You are to fast.

nuno	01-23-2003 10:13 PM

Working on it. :)

nuno	01-23-2003 10:50 PM

hmm
Don't know if mod_rewrite is needed, now that i think of it. :rolleyes:
What i need is IIS to parse a file with no extension as php, and that's a no-can-do i think.

TECK	01-23-2003 10:52 PM

There is no way to do this with a .htaccess file in IIS... the only way is the use the "mod_rewrite" for IIS.
Install Apache. :D

nuno	01-23-2003 11:17 PM

Damn.
This is impossible to run with IIS. :(
Tell me something, what happens if i rename archive to archive.php and launch it?
Will the file be parsed?

TECK	01-23-2003 11:24 PM

Ya.

nuno	01-23-2003 11:27 PM

Odd.
All i get is a blank page.

I just rename it for you. :p

TECK	01-24-2003 09:46 AM

vBulletin.org decided to install my script. Thank you!

Lol :D
Still no joy :(
Goddamn IIS.

TECK	01-24-2003 01:19 PM

Is working on my localhost? For sure the links will not display properly (no .htaccess) but... that's a different story. I use also IIS.

nuno	01-24-2003 01:49 PM

Same here, IIS localhost ONLY. :D
Although IIS6 seems to kick IIS5.x ass away. :p

I also fixed a minor bug related to dynamic meta tags.

Here it is also the fix for online.php file (requested by xiphoid):
FILE: online.php
FIND:

Code:

$loc=preg_replace("/\?s=[a-z0-9]{32}(&)?/","?",$loc);

REPLACE WITH:

Code:

$loc=preg_replace("/\?s=[a-z0-9]{32}(&)?/","?",$loc); $loc = preg_replace( '~archive/~' , 'index.php' , $loc ); $loc = preg_replace( '~forumdisplay/f-~' , 'forumdisplay.php?forumid=' , $loc ); $loc = preg_replace( '~showthread/t-~' , 'showthread.php?threadid=' , $loc ); $loc = preg_replace( '~-p-[0-9]~' , '' , $loc ); $loc = preg_replace( '~.html~' , '' , $loc );

I still am getting: Unknown Location: /forums/archives.php?

What to do?

TECK	01-24-2003 04:03 PM

archives.php? You have an old version.
Did you cleared your browser temp files and downloaded the .zip file again, as explained in the first post?
In the readme file if should say at the top V1.2

Hi!

I am trying to install this script but have some troubles. All the installation (vbarchive.php script installer) went fine but when I go to forums/archive I see the content of vbarchive.php in plain text. Can you please help? Thank you.

The steps are very well explained in the readme file.
Make sure you follow them, take your time to read them (every word), as well the first post in this thread.
I wrote a lot of information, for a reason, so you check everything is posted.

Very nice archive. :)
Now all you have to do is complete the steps 1-3 from Forum Optimizations. Please read all information listed in the first post, properly.

You realize you installed this script for nothing, right? ;)
Your archives are protected so guests will get a no_permission page, due to your settings. In other words no search engine will index your friendly pages or forums.
You should allow guests to view your forums and threads.
I personally never understood why people block guests to view their forums and threads...

Hi Teck!!
Thanks for this cool hack!!
Installed without any Problems and tuned up with your addons from the First Page!
But one question: I have imported my PHPBB Forums into VBulletin. Now all written Threads after importing shows correct in the archive. But all other Threads bevor dont show the $post[username] . What can i do? In my Forums all Usernames are there... ;)

Thank you in advance

TECK	01-25-2003 08:03 AM

Link to archive? I want to see this... :)

To fix it, add this line, at the bottom of your htaccess.txt file:

Code:

RedirectMatch 301 /archive$ http://[high]www.yoursite.com/forum[/high]/archive/

Replace the highlighted part with your web site URL.
I updated the .zip files.

By the way:
RedirectMatch 301 /archive$ http://www.yoursite.com/forum/archive/
but the .zip says
RedirectMatch 301 ^/archive$ http://www.yoursite.com/forum/archive/

hence the ^.

TECK	01-25-2003 07:02 PM

I corrected this a while ago. :)
Thanks for checking out for me Floris.

EDIT: I linked your screenshot to the first post, is a good example for a script in action. :)

TECK	01-25-2003 07:06 PM

I wonder if is a good idea to block completly the /forum folder for crawlers?
Since the archive is there, they don't need to go to the forums... let me know what you think.

Hey Teck what a awesome hack :)
Instalation was a SNAP !!!
Im using it on my Polish Community Forums at http://www.NaKazdyTemat.com/archive

3 Qestions.
1) Is there a way to make the smilies show up?
2) Is it a good idea to put my original header links on the arichive like i did with a different Search hack indexer ( http://www.NaKazdyTemat.com/forum ) <---Like i did here. Seach engines did index these even with my original header included.
3) Is it ok for the main logo to be a link to my main forum? I noticed that alot of the demo archives in your 1st post do not link the image with the main forum. Does this matter ?

Great Job... Waiting for spiders to crawl now :)

I never block anything, I rather have them link to a nopermission page then none at all :)

1. In showthread.txt file, replace:

Code:

$post['pagetext'] , $forum['forumid'] , 0

with::

Code:

$post['pagetext'] , $forum['forumid'] , 1

2. Crawlers don't have access to those files so there is no need to add them (you did perform the first 3 steps in forums optimizations, right?).

3. I really can't answer this. I expect to see fastforward posting an answer related to this. Is controversial.
I searched many web sites for an answer. Some say is good not to have it, some say that some search engines could consider this as URL cloacking if you don't link back to the main forum page.

I really want you guys to search for issue no. 3, is hard for me to do everything... So we know for sure what is best.
Toghether we can make perfect this script. I still think is a good idea to block completly the /forum folder in robots.txt file... we will see what other experts say.

Go to:
http://searchengineforums.com/
and ask there for an answer, there are many people posting, including Google tech people.
If you find other forums, post them here so we all know about it.

Well in question number 2, i thouth having a nav bar would encourage new users to visit links on it, but i dont want to do it in case it might ruin my indexing chance. I think ill leave that alone...
And smilies? I get a "X" image now ... Its linking them to /showthread/images instead of just /images .... Sorry for asking this im a newbie... How do i correct this problem?

And i also wanted to know from other people who installed this if leaving the main logo as a link is a good/bad idea. Thanks.

TECK	01-25-2003 09:40 PM

You can add it if you want. Make sure you perform the forum optimizations.
Ahh ya, about the smilies... You cannot do it without further hacking and is a big one, you need to edit in several place the functions.php, not worth... so leave it like it is, no smilies... is better.

Hi Floren,

You were right! The dot at the front of .htaccess was missing because the dot in the keypad didn't work (I didn't know until now) and I couldn't see the .htaccess file because it disappeared right after I renamed the htaccess.txt file to .htaccess
Thanks again. This is the best hack! :banana:

Olly

TECK	01-25-2003 09:56 PM

There are some ftp clients that have options to show you the hidden files.
I use FlashFXP.com, I find it very good. :)

Also, I'm glad you got it working.
Floren.

Ya, it was my extra taste... I hacked this for myself.
Is ok, I release it for everyone now, since you guys like it. :)
Check the second method I posted...

01-25-2003 10:18 PM

Excellent idea, TECK, I surely will install this. Thanks! :D

TECK	01-26-2003 05:16 AM

Ok, I blocked today the /forum folder in robots.txt file.
Google went as usual through it's route... no problems there.
I will leave it like that for a while and let you know if everything is ok.

Here it is a screenshot with the crawlers going through the new posts.

All times are GMT. The time now is 12:02 AM.
