Board Optimization - Zoints SEO 2.3.2

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)

Many thanks for your kind and quick response. I have changed the Rewrite URLS to the second (Rewrite URLs and insert keywords) option as suggested but when I click on a thread, i. ie. it tries to load the page almost forever but in Firefox it comes up with an error - Redirect Loop

"Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page."

Perhaps you may want to see this at http://www.alpharadiotv.com/forum/. Its basically a new forum.

Thanks.

do you have redirects on if so turn it off and see what happens !

[dxlwebs]

Please remember to read this thread https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....52&postcount=2 and make sure that its installed properly it looks to me that you have not set it up completly

[samuelss]

Thanks. When redirects is off, the page displays but the thread/Forum will not display. It will show this error - Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Not sure if you're already past this but when you said your htaccess now looks like this:

---------------------------------------
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
----------------------------------------

Add the following lines at the end of the file
----------------------------------------
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]*-(f|all)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$ forumdisplay.php/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]*-(t|p)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$ showthread.php/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(index\.php|\.css) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(archive|sitemap)/(.*)$ $1/index.php/$2 [QSA,L]
----------------------------------------

Is that the exact code you put in your .htaccess file?


If so, you need to change it so it just says these lines:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]*-(f|all)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$ forumdisplay.php/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]*-(t|p)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$ showthread.php/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(index\.php|\.css) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(archive|sitemap)/(.*)$ $1/index.php/$2 [QSA,L]

That would be rather redundant since both these do virtually the same thing

Please anybody tell me if this mod have much impact on server load or not. As far as I know, vbSEO have much impact on server load... therefore i am afraid of that in this mod.
I am hosted on a shared server. My forums will have 5K-30K members, 200-750 users (members + guests) online at the same time. I know it's heavy itself and that's why i must care much about server load.
Thank you in advance!

This is excellent news. Thank you!

I see instructions for installing. What about specific instructions for upgrading from the previous version, 2.22?

One quick thing...

In your Search Results Postbit edits on the second edit...

You have:

Find:

$post[typeprefix] <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$post[threadid]$post[highlight]"><strong>$post[threadtitle]</strong></a>

Which doesn't exist...

This is what exists:

$post[typeprefix] $post[prefix_rich] <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$post[threadid]$post[highlight]"><strong>$post[threadtitle]</strong></a>

(was missing teh $post[prefix_rich])


Also in the replace: The same $post[prefix_rich] needs to be added to make it work correctly.
