[release] Make your forums Googlebot-friendly

Author: filburt1
Description: This lets Googlebot crawl your forums and threads; GB will only crawl threads in the first page of thread listings however. This requires Apache with .htaccess support of mod_rewrite; if you don't know what any of those are, you might have problems with this mod.
Demo: http://www.webdesignforums.net/
Screenshot: n/a

I got the idea from a hack at vB.org, and posted at vB.com only to have it sink into oblivion. So I posted it here.

Apply these template modifications to your default style set. You can apply it to more, but if you don't do at least the default set the modifications will be useless. In addition WOL will show "Unknown Location: [link]" but the actual links it references will still work.

i have this in my .htaccess file

Code:



ErrorDocument 404 /forum/archive/index.php

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^forumid(.*)session(.*).html forumdisplay.php?s=$2&forumid=$1

RewriteRule ^threadid(.*)session(.*).html showthread.php?s=$2&threadid=$1

but whenever i upload this to my forums directory, i always get a forbidden area

Does this still mess up the "who's online"?

Yes and what's more it doesn't work because it still includes the sessionhash, so to the trash this shall go unless somebody can have the time to remove the shash from the rewritten URLs...

isn't this the same one that you use though, you managed to get your threads on google, or is that one unreleased, if so, is there any other places to get one
