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).

Hello,

very fine Add-on!
I just got installed and it works. But now I got a little problem with my Vbadvanced cmps.
On forumhome and cmps_index everything looks fine, but on forumdisplay and showthread the cmps sidebar does not appear.
When I set the zoints seo configuration on "Do not rewrite URLs" the sidebar will be shown.
And my archive doesn't show any postings, just the topics until I deactivate the whole Add-on zoints seo.
I'm using vb 3.6.10 and latest version of zoints seo 2.2.2
Maybe you can help me or tell me if it's a problem of VBadvanced.

right, just wondering if there is a way to exclude a php file from zoints url rewrite rules... lm not using the htaccess method, but its interfering with a the 3.7 tags system (yeah l know this is a 3.6 mod) basically l narrowed the conflict down to the url rewriting and would like to find a way to exclude the whole internal vbulletin tagging system from the rewrite rules as its causing issues with links to threads on the search page linking everything back to the forums index rather than threads.

I noticed this mod is turning the relative URL's of vbulletin into absolte URl's. Is it possible to disable this somehow?

It would be good to see this on 3.7 series.

actually it does work on 3.7 it just doesnt seem to work with the internal tags system "which l should add no one cares about helping me with, l asked for help fixing at the zoints forum"

Indeed so. It converts URLs to the domain top level as oppose the link to the thread. The only way to view the thread is to click the last post icon...

I've searched for answers on this too, but am unable to conclude anything, and thus, have had to uninstall it.
