Next/Previous Thread Title Replacements
 
Keywords: Thread, Newest, Oldest, SHOWTHREAD, SEO

Description:
Quote:

Replaces the ? Previous Thread | Next Thread ? links located at the bottom of the SHOWTHREAD output with their respective thread titles. Adds 2 additional queries.
Details:
Quote:

This hack functions exactly like the current links, except now users can see the actual thread titles of the next newest and next oldest thread. Someone said this could(?) help with SEO somewhere along the line. I don't claim to know enough to validate this statement. I developed the hack because it simply provided more information to the user, possibly enticing them to click with a thread title that may peak their interest.

I've also never been fond of the location of these links originally, at the bottom, so I've included an option via the AdminCP where you can opt to relocate the links to the top of the page just below the navbar (see screenshots below).

Installation:
Quote:

1. Download and import the product-nextprevtitle_v2.1.xml file via the Product Manager.

2. Optionally, you may configure alternate placement via your AdminCP (vBulletin Options > Next/Previous Thread Titles)

3. ???

4. Profit

Version History:
Quote:

v1.0 - Initial Release
v2.0 - Added ability to choose placement; Added template for end-user configuration
v2.1 - Adapted to work with 3.6.3
* Occasionally, you may notice a link beying displayed as "-" rather than a thread title. This is normal. This simply means there is no thread which is newer (or older) than the current thread being viewed. This same functionality is in vBulletin by default.

radarhunter 11-08-2006 04:51 PM

radarhunter 11-08-2006 04:52 PM

though i can see the results on my forum but can`t change it`s settings

magnus 11-08-2006 04:57 PM

Hrm. Give me a sec.

magnus 11-08-2006 05:08 PM

Fixed. Go ahead and download and overwrite the product. Sorry about that.

FleaBag 11-08-2006 05:15 PM

Great hack, I have a very old version bookmarked which required edits. This one will do nicely as a replacement. Thanks! :)

As this has two queries, would it not be server intensive on a large scale?

Snake 11-08-2006 06:13 PM

Thanks for this but I think vBSEO does that already.

Define large scale. Regardless of the size of your forum, that doesn't change your SHOWTHREAD page. Forum size is irrelevant. However, if an additional 2 queries is of concern to you this result could still be achieved with a quick file edit which would add no additional queries.

I chose this method because a plugin is far more desireable than file edits. Your choice.

However, if you find different results as to the performance load incurred, I'd love to know. Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury of a large scale / uber-active forum to test on. :(

Does it? I'm a vBSEO license owner, and I couldn't find this option in the vBSEO Control Panel.

Either way, this is a free alternative for those not fortunate enough to be blessed with a vBSEO license. :P

* Edit: I checked the vBSEO forums, and indeed they are implenting this feature -- however, I'm unsure if it's a function of vBSEO or a completely separate hack they are using. I'm looking through my vBSEO Control Panel right now and I can't find an option for it.

Lionel 11-08-2006 06:18 PM

Thanks. This option was long overdue.

Lionel 11-08-2006 06:24 PM

I am getting greedy. Can't we have both, under navbar and bottom of post, and make under navbar display the same way as bottom of page?

Sure. Give me 10 minutes.

magnus 11-08-2006 07:29 PM

Ok, so I took a few minutes more than 10.. :)

Just updated v2.0. This will allow you to choose placement (Top, Bottom, Both) as well as tailor the layout to your liking via templates (nextprevtitle_bits).

I usually recommend to uninstall the product, then import the new version -- however, you should be fine by selecting "Allow Overwrite" when importing.

Enjoy.

Lionel 11-08-2006 07:32 PM

thanks, i'll do it now

vBSEO Option:
Quote:

Replace 'Previous/Next Thread' redirect links?
Enable this option to replace the 'Next Thread' & 'Previous Thread' links with direct, Content Relevant links. Note: This option adds two queries.

There's just soooooo much stuff in the vBSEO Control Panel. I've only had it maybe 3 days -- I'm still trying to figure out all the ins and outs of it. :)

Thanks.

Lionel 11-08-2006 07:42 PM

works fine, thanks again

Mr Pink 11-08-2006 08:30 PM

Installed. Thanks. Great mod.

EDIT: For 3.6.3 it doesn't work.

I just confirmed that this does in fact work with 3.6.3. Tested on a fresh 3.6.3 installation and everything works flawlessly. Your problem lies elsewhere.

Mr Pink 11-08-2006 09:16 PM

Ok, excuse me. :)
I try to explain to you my problem. When I click on the thread title, it give me the next/old thread, ok, but when I re-try to click on it, so to go to another ordered thread, it give me the same page (even if there are new/old thread). I have try to empity my chace but nothing.. cookie, but nothing..

I'm sorry, but I cannot replicate the problem you are experiencing. I've tested every aspect of this product and it's working as intended each time.

I've tested it on a fresh 3.6.3 install as well as a 3.6.2 -> 3.6.3 upgrade.

*EDIT: I've managed to replicate the problem. I'm working on it as we speak.

magnus 11-08-2006 09:45 PM

The 3.6.3 bug has been fixed. Please download and import the v2.1 XML.

Mr Pink 11-08-2006 09:51 PM

Thanks magnus, now I try it again. :)

Mr Pink 11-08-2006 09:57 PM

Yes, now it works with no problems!
Thanks really magnus.

It should be available in all versions of vBSEO including the previous ones and somehow, I think you have missed it so here's how to find it:

Go to vBSEO CP > SEO Functions > Direct Links > Replace 'Previous/Next Thread' redirect links and finally switch that option to "Yes". :)

Wonderful hack, thanks :)

SaN-DeeP 12-04-2006 10:09 PM

thanks was looking for this :)
however I would point one thing here:

there is no use of adding /showthread.php?t=5464&goto=nextnewest and /showthread.php?t=3424&goto=nextoldest to this URLs, consider removing them.

This behavior is default in vBulletin. See for yourself, hover over "Previous Thread" here on vBulletin.org.
