2. Uploading YABBSEO[vB] to the Server.

You only need upload all files in /upload to your vBulletin installation.

3. Go into vBulletin's Admin CP > Plugins & Products > Manage Products.

a). Click on 'Import Product' and select 'overwrite'.
b). Click on the 'Browse' button, and browse to the location where YABBSEO[vB]'s installation package was extracted.
c). Find a file named Product-YABBSEOLite-1.0.xml in the root directory YABBSEO[vB].

Versions:
YABBSEO[vB] Lite v1.1.0 At 01 Nov 2009
YABBSEO[vB] Lite v1.0.1 At 15 Feb 2009
YABBSEO[vB] Lite v1.0.0 At 05 Feb 2009

Updates of YABBSEO v1.1: Latest version!
Please see the following post with detailed directions and explanations of yabbseo/data/config.php.

Updates of YABBSEO v1.0.1:
1. Now YABBSEO supports mysqli connection.
2. Fix a serious bug that cause script not to parse the external url correctly.
3. Adding a miss hook in v1.0.0 for search members to redirect to the correct profile url.
4. Adding some HTML tags parsing to correct some images not showing.
5. Fixing some redirecting error reported by members here.
6. Fix a bug for parsing the birthday members profile url in the front page of forum.

How to update your installation of YABBSEO v1.0.1:
Untill now, you only need redownload the attachment to update the php scripts files and then reimporting the product XML file. BUT you must be careful if you have modified the file yabbseo/data/config.php. When you upload new scripts, please don't overwrite your customised config.php. And a backup of old installation is recommended when you make any updates on current installation.

Some previous installation may not include such TAG parsings in yabbseo/data/config.php, if yes, you need add them manually(suppose you don't want to overwrite config.php directly)

PHP Code:


			
'import' =>

    array (

      0 => '\\@',

      1 => 'url',

      2 => '\\(',

      3 => '\\"',

      4 => '1',

    ),

    'image:' =>

    array (

      0 => 'background\\-',

      1 => 'url',

      2 => '\\(',

      3 => '\\>',

      4 => '1',

    ),

The previous installation miss a hook called "Search members" at Plugins & Products>Plugin Manager, if you don't want to reimport the product XML file, you can add this hook as follows:
Plugins & Products>Add New Plugin
Product:

Code:

YABBSEO[vB]

Hook Location:

Code:

member_start

Title:

Code:

Search members

Plugin PHP Code:

PHP Code:


			
include 'yabbseo/forumhook/match_member.php';

Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

From my side, I tested it on my PC and it is working fine. But it is better to keep the froum id added. You need many testings for customising forum urls. I understand how to do well, but it is not easy for me to explain it.

hey Yabsoft, thanx i addes the search members plugin and now works great, but dont rewrite the today birthday users...

Yes, it is supported:
edit yabbseo/data/config.php,
change

PHP Code:
'forumtitleonly' => '0',

to

PHP Code:
'forumtitleonly' => '1',

And then you remove the f{forum_id}_ from

PHP Code:
'template' =>
array (
'showthreadpage' => 'f{forum_id}-{forum_title}/{thread_title}-{thread_id}-page{thread_page}.html',
'showthread' => 'f{forum_id}-{forum_title}/{thread_title}-{thread_id}.html',
'showthreadnew' => 'f{forum_id}-{forum_title}/{thread_title}-{thread_id}-newpost.html',
'showthreadpost' => 'f{forum_id}-{forum_title}/{thread_title}-{thread_id}-p{post_id}.html#post{post_id}',
'forumdisplaypage' => 'f{forum_id}-{forum_title}/index{forum_page}.html',
'forumindex' => 'forumindex.html',
'forumdisplay' => 'f{forum_id}-{forum_title}',
'member' => 'members/{username}.html',
'memberlistpage' => 'memberlists/{member_page}.html',
'memberlistltr' => 'memberlists/{letter}.html',
'memberlistltrpage' => 'memberlists/{letter}-{member_page}.html',

Working good except having an issue when trying to view new posts from the forum home.

The link looks like this

Code:

http://www.xxxxxx.com/tips/f11-miscellaneous-tips/facebook-tips-137-newpost.html

but when you click on it to read the new posts from forum home you get directed to this:

Code:

This issue should be corrected in new version v1.0.1 and the birthday members can now be parsed correctly.

ai-uchi turns into http://www.8wayrun.com/members/ai_uchi/

These are legal URL characters... so this should be easy enough to fix.

I have a VERY restrictive and arcane registration RegEx in place to avoid this type of issue; but it appears that three characters are still giving issues: . - @

Code:

^[A-Za-z0-9]((\w)|[\-\.\@])+[A-Za-z0-9]$

Also...
'showthreadnew' => 'f{forum_id}/{thread_title}-t{thread_id}/newposts/',

Doesnt seem to work for me.

did today's update fix this problems?

It is working fine with the SEOURL Rule provided by us. For your customised one, I don't give a test.

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