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).

Umm that's not really what I was getting at...

Okay, if you are using the Blog, even the newest version, there is one comments link that breaks when using this, as well as 2.2.2...

To fix it:

In "blog_show_entry" template find:

<span class="shade"><a href="#comments" class="shade">$vbphrase[comments]</a></span> <span id="commentcount1">$bloginfo[comments_visible]</span>

Replace with:

<span class="shade"><a href="blog.php?b=$blog[blogid]#comments" class="shade">$vbphrase[comments]</a></span> <span id="commentcount1">$bloginfo[comments_visible]</span>

No, this works just as well with 3.8.x as it does with any other version.

There is a 3.8 version available if you want to give it a go, but at this point it isn't that much different and if you have all the fixes worked out then you are good to go at 3.8.

Hello. My forum looks like that as soon as i activate Rewrite URLs and insert keywords or Rewrite URLs and insert keywords, using mod_rewrite

How can I fix this ?

[LVLifestyle]

great mod. thank you for your hard work

[timhessel]

Has there been any fix for the "Recent Thread" links in the CMPS yet? Unfortunately I can't use the URL rewriting without it.

I'm not sure if my install is working correctly or not. It seems to be and I'm not having errors. However, my thread url's are still showing up in the old format from the forumdisplay page. For instance, when you mouse over the thread url, it still shows something like this:

http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/d...d.php?t=243301

Once you click it, it shows up like this in the address display window:

http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/d....html?t=243301

How can I get it to show this way in the forumdisplay page?
