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]

Hmmm, great plugin and thanks for your work. However I don't think this is ready for prime time yet. I've noticed some really odd issues that I can't explain. For example. When viewing specific threads or forums all my adsense ads disappear. Also some images from my header from example do not show up (yes I did check the IMG array as you recommended and it's not set to 1)

I'll be glad to reinstall it once most of the bugs have been squished...good luck with the development.

This looks like an interesting mod...

However... I already have a redir.php for a different mod. So I cant use this.

gsmlover4u · #54 02-05-2009, 12:53 PM

sir check it plz now these posted link (red marked) not working also image link posted not work picture not showing

drumbum · #55 02-05-2009, 01:43 PM

Installed this mod and working great except that it made my goodle ads disappear. When I diabled the mod, they reappeared. Any reason for this?

Using mod "Google Adsense Postbit Integration" for this feature.

drumbum · #56 02-05-2009, 02:29 PM

Ok so I removed this code from the config file

PHP Code:


			
    'script' => 

    array (

      0 => '<',

      1 => 'src',

      2 => '=',

      3 => '>',

      4 => '1',

    ),

and the google ads returned. does this affect anything else? or should I be okay with doing that. So far I haven't detected any additional issues.

EDIT: Actually upon further review by doing this I'm getting an "error" message at the bottom of the page cause it loaded but with errors. So looks like i still need a solution to this issue. thanks!

The bug should be fixed. Try to redownload the attachment to update the php scripts files without reimporting the product. 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.

By the way, if you remove

PHP Code:


			
    'script' => 

    array (

      0 => '<',

      1 => 'src',

      2 => '=',

      3 => '>',

      4 => '1',

    ),

, your forum may not function properly, since YABBSEO could not parse some javascript correctly.

Yes, you have to re-enable this. The error means some javascript are not runing properly.

You need not upload redir.php if you don't want to redirect external url by like this: redir.php?url=xxx

To disbale the redirecting, edit yabbseo/data/config.php,

PHP Code:


			
'redirect_externalurl' => '1',

change to

PHP Code:


			
'redirect_externalurl' => '0',

Hope this helps.
