ScriptWiz.com vBulletin HTML Archiver Script - FREE!!

Thank you for choosing our free ScriptWIz.com vBulletin HTML Archiver Installation. We use this on our sites for more search engine friendly URL's and to make member HTML pages. This script does not alter or touch your database or vBulletin files. Instead it uses a mod_rewrite command found on UNIX servers.

The way this script works is quite nice. It is really an intelligent, dynamic wrapper for your forum. It lists all contents from your database such as forums, threads, and members on SEF (search engine friendly) pages. It also shows the particular content when calling the SEF URL. In simple terms, it pulls all the forum data to create SEF hyperlinks so google and other search engines can easily go through your entire forum as the search engine will see it as static html pages being created every day! There is nothing better than fresh content.

There are other very good archive scripts out there but we felt the need to create this script for the following reasons:

- We feel it produces more SEF links both in quality and quantity

- The script requires the more standard mod_rewrite

- This script is very small in size

- This script creates SEF page for each member of your forum

- This script does not touch any of the vBulletin files or database

As far as installation, all you need to do is to extract the zip file to your computer and follow these steps:

1. Open the file index.php and edit 3 variables shown below to match your forum. For this example we are using the website aimforum.com
which has the forum installed into the root www folder and we want the archive pages to be placed into the folder called archive off of the www folder:

$title = "Aim Forums &mdash; aimforum.com &mdash;"; //this will be <title>
$bburl = "http://www.aimforum.com"; //no ending slash
$path = "/archive/"; //this is path from the root folder like /archive/

2. Create a folder on the web server with the same name as specified in the $path statement above. (For example, inside your vbulletin forum directory, create a folder called archive)

3. Upload all the files from the zip into the folder as specified in the $path statement above. NOTE: Make sure to upload the .htaccess file in ASCII mode and the PHP/HTML files in Binary mode.


That's is it!

To test, go to http://www.yourforum.com/archive (replace yourforum.com with your forum URL and replace archive with the $path folder you created) and you will see your archive page!

You can a live example by going here: http://www.aimforum.com/archive

NOTE: As this is a hack, useage is at your own risk and we assume no liability. We have not tested this on version 3.x of vBulletin as of yet but it should work. We have tested this on version 2.3.x of vBulletin and found no issues.

Not bad at all, but there are already several hacks like this for vb 2.x

Also theres a good chance this might not work on vb3 due to all the mysql changes.

Hehe, I am a steady poster at your site, or I used to be.. :P MellonCollie = Me

nice hack though :D

Who said this would work for vb3?

I think it is nice to see a few different type of hacks about the same subject here. This way I can choose which one I'd like to install. Please don't see attempts by others to share their own hard work as 'trying to be the best'.

thanks!
this hack owns all :D

Will this work on VB3.0.1?

Looks awesome, and I would love to be able to Install..

Beeing a practical communication expert I think from seeing the demo
this might be the first hack using up to date technolegy
php with sql and
linux with apache
linked with modrewrite a logic linking system of its own
might be the first electronic marketing idear that made me shiver

german would be easier-)

a question thou i have
a) the funktionality of the demo - might it work - as version vBulletin 3.0.0 for somebody fit in prinzipals of php sql linux apache without expert knolege
in any of those and a installatin time of 3 hours?

b) does the script acutualy distinguish between searchengine and human or does ist just give an aditional way to index the exact same content without human interface. And if so could i switch off the search engines to index the original vB driven interactive content view by useing a robots.txt complyend "do not index this page" for all view options like printview.php showthread.php and showforum.php

Came from a party and still suffer from the shock of silence and excitement of the hack but I wanted to give example. of the forbidden index thing for search engines like google friendly anought to listen .

excerpt from robots.txt
in the www directory (internet acessible main dir) if it is your vBulletin directory . whitch would mean translated to german or english
d: der spider copyrightchek soll nach hause gehen und keine daten der disallow variablen f?r dateinamen.php sammeln
e: the copyrightcheck spider shall go home and not index contend of disallow variable filename.php

If so you could "spider switch off" oneonwn board and "spider switch on" geekpipe's hack and have perfect url to -> contenct relavent link urls and link texts for your content.
This would be the best marketing hack i ever saw for public created content.
