Hi thanks for that great mod.

But I do have two issues.
The version “address?language=en” is working fine.
But if I try to use “/en/address” it is nor working.

The links I do have are wrong. /en/forum/… instead of „/forum/en/…“
I do have:
vBSEO
.htaccess with the modifications in the /forum/ directory

I put in “/forum” at the Forum directory section, but it look like that is totally ignored what I put in there.

And a little one:
“ar” means Arabic but the flag is from Argentina

Note that browser is responsible for reversing - mod just give a hint that it should be done. Opera supports it - which browser are you using?

Maybe , but i don't use Opera

i'll install it on my VB and also i'll tell you

thanx

Good morning,
some News from Google:
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/...speaks-51.html

Quote:

Today, we're excited to announce that we've added nine new languages to Google Translate: Afrikaans, Belarusian, Icelandic, Irish, Macedonian, Malay, Swahili, Welsh and Yiddish. That means that Google Translate now supports 51 languages and 2550 language pairs ? including all 23 official EU languages.

It might be better if Google Translate would use the ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 standard for country codes when possible.

For example, Google uses "JA" for Japanese, but the country code for Japan is actually "JP". Google uses "SV" for Swedish, but the ISO standard for Sweden is "SE" (SV is El Salvador) . Google uses "DA" for Danish, but the ISO standard for Denmark is "DK" etc.

I tried to comment about this on the official Google blog, but they (Google) don't permit comments. I realize that the 2 digit country codes do not map directly to languages, but the way Google does it does not make any sense to me, especially for country/language pairs such as Japan/Japanese, Denmark/Danish, Sweden/Swedish, etc.

Sorry guys - I'm very busy this and next week.

I will read each post and PM when I will find time, answer all the questions and give support where it will be still needed.

Right now I just have to take care about own issues

Sp32 · #**447** 09-02-2009, 05:32 PM

all forums are coming up empty, no links are being shown and no threads on forumhome are coming up, I uninstalled vbseo and error still occured, really want this mod

CThiessen · #**448** 09-02-2009, 06:47 PM

Hi,
did you set your Forum Forum language?
If not this is a reason why the pages are empty.

Hi

For me this error line have no sense

Also cannot imagine how my mod can influence this behaviour, because there are just constant values added to some internal variables. Are you sure that this is the line? Are you sure that this mod causes conflict (dissable it and check does problem still egsists)?

Hi thanks for note

Setting /forum at the forum directory makes not SEO links working for you

SEO links are not tested on forums with directory in URL. I'm still wayting for someone who will set me test forum with vbSEO and directory in URL, or give me access to exicting one. Till then I have no possibility to test it.

So if you want this functionality working for you give me place to implement it. If you don't need it, then case is closed

About flags - I know there are also some other wrong flags - It will be corrected in next relese

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
