Major Additions - Zoints SEO

********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).

After I got everything installed I noticed that I cannot follow links within my archive/sitemap directory. Everything else seems to work fine.

Here is the link to my archive/sitemap post install:

You will notice as you click on the links it will not take you any deeper into the archive. I think its the .htaccess file messing things up, but cant tell.

im running 3.6.3

Yes, I've just noticed this problem as well and rapidly uninstalled the mod again. Essentially removing the archive will I suspect do more damage than they keywords etc will gain. Big shame, but in tandem with the other bugs I'm not sure it's quite ready for the big-time. Almost! But not quite.

Ok, here's some info: It currently gets all the thread and forum links and makes an xml out of them and that's all. I'm going to release just that soon as v0.2 and it will expand to include all url's made by Zoints SEO but because of the high demand. I am looking for a couple of beta sites though. NO harm can be done to the database by using the hack, I just want to make sure it works on different sites. Send me a pm if your interested.
