You're in luck, my FTP server has just started working.

Try using this:


And make sure that your archive is at http://www.yes-its-free.com/vbbs/easyarchive

Wow! Thank you for the kind words and consideration! :blush:

It's very nice of you to thank me for installing this hack, but you're the one who's giving ... so I must thank you! :) This is a great hack, long overdue, a wonderful contribution. So much so, that I'd be surprised if it doesn't become the number one hack of all times ... our pages in Google ... it doesn't get any better than this! Thanks Again.

glenvw - I see yours is working...

An archive I added for a friend:

wcgateway.com/forums/archive

thanks to conos post. noob hacker here that did not understand what people were saying. now

when should i submit it to google? is it jan 12 , 2003 here

and what url should i submit? wcgateway.com/forums/archive?

will it spider it. kinda confused here.

Anybody know how I can kill it from showing private forums?

This has been asked time and time again - I wish people read the rest of the thread...

This is permission based - only you and users with rights can see the private forums.

Yeah, my kid asks me the same things thousands of times a day. I still love him...

Where or what service do you folks use to submit to Google? All I see is a link to he open project

<a href="https://www.google.com/addurl.html" target="_blank">http://www.google.com/addurl.html</a> to submit to google

can someone answer my question about when google starts dancing again? it is jan 12 right now and i want the right time to submit.. can anyone give me some tips? or should i just go for it

and i submit the url wcgateway.com/forums/archive.html righT?

Great hack, got it working at last, if only I had the money for my domain, then it might be worth it, lol...

Thankfully I friends to host me for now!

Question..

what do you gus and gals use to monitor stats, especially to know when Google is spidering?

how does this hack compare to Tecks?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=&pagenumber=2

It is like comparing teck's mercedes with a beatle

lol. But in terms of functionality and how it interacts with google not appearances. I see that this hack puts a .html at the end of the urls and the other hack does not.

do you think VB3 uses a bad method then? teck's hack is made like VB3 archive... read the first post to see the features

All I know is last week Google went nuts for 5 full days on our archive. And then this past weekend Inktomisearch crawled for 2 days. I do like the way Teck's hack looks like the boards but really this archive is for the search engines and not the GP. right? So do looks matter? What I do like about Teck's is his latest suggestion modifing the meta tags to include keywords from the threads.

I'm getting a blank page. Obviously, I'm not doing something right. Help! :(

Got it working.... :)

Can someone, anyone, tell us why its just got a white page, and all of our settings are correct.

I see people repeatedly asking this question, and no one is answering.

Question for anybody:

What system do you recommend I get for accurate traffic stats? I have a server with several sites but really only care about monitoring about 3 major domains. Secondly, when these folks say they can actually see the crawl from Google and Inktomi, are they just watching hits or what do they (you ) use to watch this?

I think it's just a matter of preferrence, I think they are both great hacks.

I installed this one first and it does everything that I need so I'll be keeping it. ;)

Google and Inktomi both attacked my site after installing this hack. Works Great!!!

BTW... I happen to like beetles, oh yeah and The Beatles too! :D

I do like that Teck's mod splits long threads into multiple pages. Any way of doing that with this mod?

We got it to work, but, its weird. We type the url in to the /archive directory and it sits and sits for literally 3 minutes, then displays the posts, but has errors.

It says this:

Warning: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution in /home/integrit/public_html/contents/forums/archive/index.php on line 99

Warning: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution in /home/integrit/public_html/contents/forums/archive/index.php on line 112

Any ideas what is up with this?

for simple stats to see if google is crawling is look at /online.php :) if you are loged in to see the ips you can see which engines are on the site.

That`s the thing people need to change in the config.php when they only get a blank page...

I tried more than 1 hour but finally i found this posting.
Thanks a lot freeshares1 ! :)

Wow, another archive hack. :) Great job, people!

Well i finally have this KIND OF working (it did not work with the correct full path given, but then did work when i used the above trick of putting the change dir line above it....which is pretty weird).

However, now there is still a problem. It shows top level forums just fine, but my forums are listed on the main page by categories, which show the subforums for that area after you enter the category. Here, when entering a category, it shows only the footer....no body at all.

So it is apparently TRYING to do something with it...but the code here doesn't seem to have taken categories into consideration.

v2.3 has been released. The new version fixes the chdir problems that many were having. If you were stumped with the "blank page error", please download the latest 2.3 version. It fixes that problem. I am working on v3.0 and hopefully it will be done. New version will feature sub-forums displayed, as well as multiple pages (for large forums and threads).

SkuZZy

Kewl... I'm looking forward to trying v3.0 :D

Hey SkuZZy, can you maybe fix the category link in the next release? When you click it you get a blank page.

Well, I think that the following page says it all! Ranked number 2 right out of the gate! Looking at the URL, I am not positive that it was the archive system yet, but I think that this months indexing is starting to show up. I can only see things getting better once the items that googlebot gorged on in the archive are added. Thanks Skuzzy

The archive worked great on Inktomi!

When is the next Dance or major indexing/crawl?

The dance is usually at the end of the month, often between the 25th and 30th and the "major crawl" happens 5 days after the dance BEGINS (approximately). So if the dance started on January 28th, the major crawl would probaly begin around the 3rd.

Oh and just for refference, the dance is when google updates all their listings from their LAST major crawl. Those of you who installed my hack before the last "big crawl" should notice all your pages in google when the dance is done with.

HELP

So i got .htaccess issues.

What do I do about it?

I should go to the httpd conf file and change what exactly?

mod_mime and mod_rewrite are installed
with these commands:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
AddModule mod_rewrite.c

duplicate for mod_mime


mod_mime_magic is disabled... Don't know could that be a problem?

#AddModule mod_mime_magic.c

I have my own server but I'm not totally familiar with it.
Can anybody step by step me through that?

Red Hat 6.1 running Apache.

Can someone show exactly what they changed to get it to work when they had .htaccess problems?


would leaving links like this:

forums.com/forum/archive/forum.php/7.html

hurt my chances with the googlebot?


Would someone uploading a working conf file for comparison be
against apache's rules?

Within the next day of installing this hack i constantly have around 20 guests online. This hack is great. I submited my /archive to many search engines. This should be as an addition in VB3 :)
Thanksssssssssssssssssssssss me clicks INSTALLS :)

O and may i add istalation was a snap and without a glitch. And i suck at installing hacks :)

I was wondering if someone can help us create a similar script for our Roller Coaster and Amusement Park database. It would be great to get all those pages listed too.

Coasters: http://www.thrillnetwork.com/index....unc=allcoasters

Amusement parks: http://www.thrillnetwork.com/index....e&func=allparks

We have over 1700 Roller Coasters listed in our DB and over 500 amusement parks. Listing all sorts of information, histories and stats. It's been very frustrating that non of these pages are being indexed. At all. :( Please help.
