Zoints SEO 2.3.2 · **Released**: 01-21-2009

Zoints SEO 2.3.2!

First i would like to say sorry that its taken so long to get a new version out work has been hectick

now to the update!
mainly this update is only a faster version i have cleaned the coding a bit and made a few changes here and there for better performance.

i know there is still a few bugs in the system and i will now start on a complete rewrite of a seo system as zoints is reaching its limits with the fixes you can add in so this will be my last zoints update, the next release will be a new and more complete system!

it is recommended to update just for easier life and i would recomend using mod-rewrite as its the most stable area of the zoints SEO

I hope you look forward to my next Full Release and not just an update!

this version contains Most of the updates and bug fixes from this thread also others from the zoints forum as well! it contains 1 core file from the tags file please note you MUST read the read me file before you upload anything!

this is a pretty straight forward install it will edit all the templates automatically even on a custom template (tested my self) and even if not you have the files needed to make the changes!

"THIS IS ONLY TO BE USED WITH VBULLETIN 3.8.x"

********Please do not use this modification unless you are VERY well educated on SEO and forum modification********

Zoints is a company that believes that forums are the killer application of the internet. We want to empower forum owners to take their community to the next level. Therefore, Zoints has been developing an extremely powerful vBulletin forum SEO and revenue enhancing solution for more than two years now. However, because we are focusing on our Forum Network and Thread Tagging System, we have decided to release this SEO solution to the vBulletin community under the lgpl license. Zoints SEO is now open source and NOT supported by us. We hope that the vBulletin dev community comes together to take this already powerful solution and make it even better. Empower yourselves

Zoints SEO can be discussed here or http://network.zoints.com (again, we will not be providing official support).

Known bugs
1. If a user disables cookies, infinite redirect loop.
2. index2, index3 pagination breaks some things. Standard p2, p3 works fine. (should be fixed now)

if you like it click install
and if you really love it click nominate lol

A.Chakery · #**114** 02-17-2009, 08:43 PM

OH , I have solved my old problem but I have a new one

When I edit showthread_similarthreadbit , This error appears:

PHP Code:


			
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '"', expecting ']' in /home/salamate/public_html/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3929) : eval()'d code on line 2

---
I have to say that this mod works perfect but 3 more Questions :
1.What I have to do for Arabic/Persian Characters ?
2. I want that Member names be re-written , What should I do about that ?
3.Is there any site map like VBseo's site map for this gr8 mod ?

Sorry If I ask too much.

Good luck

To fix it:

In "blog_show_entry" template find:

Code:

<span class="shade"><a href="#comments" class="shade">$vbphrase[comments]</a></span> <span id="commentcount1">$bloginfo[comments_visible]</span>

Replace with:

Code:

<span class="shade"><a href="blog.php?b=$blog[blogid]#comments" class="shade">$vbphrase[comments]</a></span> <span id="commentcount1">$bloginfo[comments_visible]</span>

Installed and mostly working. I am finding numerous links all over the site that are broken in a similar manner. All with the #arg type URL.

For example, in showthread.php, this snippet of template is used:

Code:

			<a href="$firstunread"><strong>$vbphrase[view_first_unread]</strong></a>

$firstunread is some string like #10141, and mouse over the link shows:

http://sportstwo.com/#10141

instead of http://sportstwo.com/showthread.php?...tle.html#10141

I'm not using the mod_rewrite means of rewriting.

Any <a href=#something> is rewritten wrong! Even on vbAdvanced custom pages.

Please advise.

Here the working fix:

AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Add New Plugin

Product: Zoints SEO
Hook Location: showthread_complete
Title: Zoints SEO firstunread fix by IrPr

PHP Plugin Code:

PHP Code:


			
if(strstr($firstunread, "showthread.php"))

  $firstunread = zseo_url_thread($threadinfo, 1, "goto=newpost");

else

  $firstunread = $url.$firstunread;

I'm sorry, but I think this is a pretty serious problem. The fix above only fixes ONE of dozens of broken links. I'd love to see an update to the mod that I can install that fixes them all in one swoop, and prevents people from having the same issue in the future.

As I posted, it's rewriting URLs in the vbadvanced pages I have, broken along the same lines. It's broken the menu links on the vbadvanced home page (e.g. forums, new posts...).

When I copy and paste the list of members viewing from the forums home page to a thread/post, all the links to the members' member pages are broken.

I'm prepared to go debug the mod myself, but any updates you do would overwrite my changes, which is something of a bind. I'd really like to consider this my contribution to making the mod better (reporting the issue).

All the zoints mods I see on this site look quite impressive.

To add to my previous post...

Moderators complained they couldn't merge threads.

I turned off the module and they could merge threads again.

Whats your Rewrite type?

I think you are using another method than my and it seems showthread.php appears in your SEOed thread links
In my case showthread.php just appears in some cases, but it seems all of your SEOed thread links contains showhtread.php and thats why this plugin doesnt work for you

Whats your exact SEO method? give me some link to your SEOed threads

mykes · #**120** 02-19-2009, 12:22 PM

The SEO module is turned off because it caused too many problems.

There are 3 radio buttons on the settings page:
1) Do not rewrite URLs
2) Rewrite URLs
3) Rewrite URLs using MOD_REWRITE

Rewrite type was #2

Visitor messages turned off. No other setting changed from the defaults.

Has anybody tried to figure out how to get this to work with the blogs to show the blog name instead of the blog number?
