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).


Known bugs

1. If a user disables cookies, infinite redirect loop.
2. index2, index3 pagination breaks some things. Standard p2, p3 works fine.


Zoints SEO is currently incompatible with: POSSIBLE FIX. PLEASE TRY THIS AND REPORT BACK. THANK YOU!
1. Incompatibility with vBA Gallery link.
2. Incompatibility with vBA Links
3. Improper linking from vBA CMPS Recent threads
4. Google Maps
[s]5. Non english characters[/s] - Character replacement is now available.


Without further ado:

Just turn off the "Rewrite URLs" option (mod_rewrite). vBulletin doesn't need it. The valuable portions of Zoints SEO are in the other features.

The current version works in 3.6.8.

It's too bad that it redirects to an infinite loop when cookies are not enabled in the browser. Though cookies are enabled by default in all browsers, there aren't statistics of the percentage of www users who may have them disabled.

Plus, forums are rewritten as html files, not directories.

I've removed ZSEO and will stick to VbSEO. But thank you for sharing it anyway.

*installed

very very nice mod! it works fine on 3.6.8

I hope it will make my site love by the search engine!

I have only a question for the community... my sitemap is strange (LINK)... I say this cause when you click, after have choosen the forum and the subforum, on a link of a post (correctly rewrited) you are faced to the page with the full graphic content instead of the page with reduced content.
It's only my problem?... maybe a wrong set in my configuration?

suggestions are welcome...

Greetings,

I'm testing this on 3.6.8 ... everything seems to work well(using url rewrite without mod_rewrite). However, my archives seem to be giving me some issues. I've gone through most of this thread and have set my options as recommended by the following post:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=566

If I turn off url rewrites, then the archives seem to work as usual. If I turn them on(once again not using mod_rewrite) I cannot access any of the threads. I click on a forum and nothing happens! Anyone else experiencing this issue? Any work arounds for this yet?

[dennisuello]

I have mod_rewrite enabled and appropriate option selected in settings.

How do I change the a specific forum url from http://www.reno4x4.com/forum/mountain-biking-f64.html
to http://www.reno4x4.com/forum/Mountain-Biking/?

I assume I need to change something in the .htaccess?
