Major Features (Lite)

PHP 5.4 Support: By creating DragonByte SEO on PHP 5.4, we've been able to ensure compatibility with this PHP version in the event you or your host decides to upgrade in order to continue to receive bugfix and security updates.

Google Analytics Integration: You can easily integrate Google Analytics with your forum by simply entering your account ID, and choose the level of detail you want to track.

Dynamic Meta Tags: Meta Keywords and Descriptions can become content-aware on certain pages like blogs and threads, increasing the relevance of these pages.

External Link Handling: You can choose to add "nofollow" to all external links, preventing search engine spiders from leaving your site. With the ability to fine-tune where this applies, white- and blacklist support as well as optional anonymisation techniques, you are in complete control over your external references.

Powerful URL Rewrites: Almost every URL found in vBulletin can be rewritten via powerful rewrite rules, enabling you to customise your rule set to perfection. The default rewrite URL settings match that of DragonByte-Tech!

Sitemap Generation: Sitemaps can be automatically created for all supported URLs, and automatically submitted to search engines.


Major Features (Pro)

vBSEO Importer: DragonByte SEO is compatible with vBSEO rewrite rules, and can import your rule set from the latest version of vBSEO seamlessly.

Custom URL Rewrites: Take further control over your forum URLs with the ability to write your own URL formats.

Custom Blog Domain: Run your vBulletin Blog from blog.yourdomain.com (or any other domain you wish).

Custom CMS Domain: Run your vBulletin CMS from cms.yourdomain.com (or any other domain you wish).

Custom Rewrite Rules: If you have custom vBulletin-powered pages, you can create rewrite rules for them using this feature.

Custom Sitemap URLs: Your custom pages can also be added to the sitemap, with individual update frequency / priority / last update date settings.

Custom 301 Redirects: You no longer have to edit your server-side rewrite rules in order to create 301 redirects for your content.

Content-Aware SEO Titles: Blogs, CMS Articles and Threads can generate SEO titles based on the content rather than the title, great for forums with a high number of unhelpful titles.

Advanced Logging: Spider and Sitemap hits can be logged, and the logs can be browsed via the DBSEO AdminCP via the same intuitive interface used in vBulletin's own log browsers.

Very nice, thanks a lot for this m8 it works great... :D

One thing i noticed:
Ive built a sitemap but when i view it with this link: /dbseositemap.php a box opens up to download the sitemap file, not view it...

Also when you make the directory for the sitemap data what permissions do i give it & the files inside?

larry_wic 02-21-2014 08:53 PM

Strange thing... I had to remove the word 'and' from the two forums i had that word in the title of, otherwise was getting 404 error redirect to home page.

This was after trying all the options that involved using the forum name in the URL, if I used forum number there was no issue.

Perhaps a bug?

I was able to sort it by just not using the word 'and' in forum titles, for now.

I figured this out on my own. It's the "stopwords" setting doing this.

DragonByte Tech 03-30-2014 04:52 PM

This has been fixed in v1.0.9, which I opted not to release on vBulletin.org due to other issues that cropped up as a result of that fix.

v1.0.10 will be available tomorrow and will fix this issue along with all other reported bugs in v1.0.9. If you want, you can download v1.0.9 from our site just now, which will enable your forums to work with the stopwords filter turned on globally.

Thank you for your patience, and sorry for the inconvenience :(


Fillip

Max Taxable 03-30-2014 08:14 PM

I left "stopwords" on and didn't mess with its definitions, instead chose to just get rid of the word "and" in the three forum titles it existed in.

I'll wait for the update here.

BUG... FYI I posted this on your support forums, not thinking, and now I can't access your website (http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/f239/...rrectly-15041/) and I think it may have caused some issues since your website stopped loading! If my fault I apologize!

Something that has come up recently, is that when someone posts a URL link that ends with .aspx it causes the server to timeout and never post the post.

I fixed this by going into the DB CP and adding the site in question to "Link Titles: External URLs - Blacklist"

Not a huge deal, as I can't think of another site that uses aspx pages, but maybe something to look into? I don't know if its on your end, or maybe aspx pages don't support retrieving titles?

Link for example: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/a...d-of-xbox.aspx

FYI this is on 1.0.9 need to upgrade to 1.0.11.

Thanks!

For some odd reason i am unable to make the edits you require to the .htaccess file without it making the site kick the "Internal Server Error" page. Even if the rewrite rules you require are the only thing in the file.

HTML Code:

RewriteEngine On

# If you are having problem with "None Could Be Negotiated" errors in Apache, uncomment this to turn off MultiViews
# Options -MultiViews

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|dbseocp/|modcp/|cron|mobiquo|forumrunner|api\.php)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ dbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|dbseocp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ dbseo.php [L,QSA]


What am I doing wrong?

You'll need to examine Apache's error_log file which is usually in /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log (but varies with each server).

The last person to have that problem found it to be a CLRF character at the start of the file that can be removed via the dos2unix command.

Fillip

Not sure it is the exact problem, since most every other set of rewrite rules I try, work just fine and my existing .htaccess file never gave me any trouble. If there were a CLRF character involved, it wouldn't matter what is in the .htaccess file.

It is only when I add this set of rules either to the existing file, or stand alone, where the trouble happens.

Certain server configurations have also been configured to return PHP errors as Internal Server Error pages.

Other than that, what version of Apache are you running?

Apache version isn't accessible via the AdminCP. Run httpd -v in a terminal window to find out.

I'm on shared hosting, not sure I have terminal access.

Do you have cPanel? There's an Error Log viewer in there.

No cpanel, it is godaddy.

Plz check your private message inbox.

The unholy grail of webhosts... In that case, you'll need to contact them and ask them how you can see the real error message (if it's accessible to you) or if not, ask them to investigate it for you.

The PHP Info unfortunately doesn't contain the required information :(

Yeah i know... But had their hosting for ten years now with very little problems or issues, extremely rare.

You're saying the first line of the file isn't giving the version?

HTML Code:

System        Linux p3nlhg1013.secureserver.net 2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.nfsfixes.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Sep 4 14:07:10 MST 2013 x86_64
2.6.32?

That is the Linux Kernel version, not Apache.

Really want to use this product, however upon installation for a test drive and enabling it, none of links to threads from "read new posts" worked. All the URL's were rewritten. I am using vb 3.8.7 pl4 but have never used VBSEO.

How do I proceed. For now I removed the htaccess change and disabled the product.

If you post about this @ our site, I'll request FTP/AdminCP information for your site and visit it to attempt to resolve it :)

Also, where can I find complete documentation on all the setting contained within the product?

DragonByte Tech 04-23-2014 06:30 PM

All the settings are explained in the description of the settings :)

You don't have to disable the product via the Plugins interface, the General Settings for this mod will allow you to turn off all functionality globally :)

Where can the dbtech site maps for submission to google be found? Also, feature suggestion.... Allow for filter of text that goes into description meta tag as the first bit in every one of my first posts is advertising and that is what is going in my description right now.

Do you use the anonymise external links feature?

In either case, it could simply be the 301 redirects from your old URLs to your new that's causing this. It's nothing to worry about, at any rate :)
