What is AMP?
https://www.ampproject.org/

Info
When Google announced AMP, I realized I'd eventually need AMP support for my vBulletin forum. After reading the AMP implementation docs, I decided to modify printthread.php file since It only displays the basic elements and contents of a thread. So, you got the idea...

Implementation

You will upload 1 file to forum root: amp.php
You will edit /includes/class_bbcode.php and edit/replace a few lines.
You will add two new templates, and edit a few.
You will probably want to customize the <style amp-custom> CSS in ampthread template.

Demo

Visit any thread from https://www.msxlabs.org homepage.
Scroll down to footer; you will see the AMP link at the left bottom corner, click on it. It will open the AMP version of the thread.
The link is there for quick access to AMP version of a thread, It is not mandatory, nor It is used by AMP recognation.

Installation

Download and extract the ZIP file.
Upload the amp.php file to your forum root folder (same folder with showthread.php)
Add a new template called "ampthread" and copy the template content from ampthread_template.txt file.
Add a new template called "ampthreadbit" and copy the template content from ampthreadbit_template.txt file.
Edit your bbcode_quote template and replace It's content with bbcode_quote.txt file's.
Edit includes/class_bbcode.php, find:

PHP Code:

if ($do_imgcode AND ($this->registry->userinfo['userid'] == 0 OR $this->registry->userinfo['showimages']))

replace with:

PHP Code:

if ($do_imgcode AND ($this->registry->userinfo['userid'] == 0 OR $this->registry->userinfo['showimages']) OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'amp') //amp hack

find:

PHP Code:

return '<img src="' . $link . '" border="0" alt="" />';

replace with:
Code:
```
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'amp') {    return '<amp-img layout="responsive" src="' .  $link . '" width="300" height="250" alt=""></amp-img>';}    else { return '<img src="' .  $link . '" border="0" alt="" />';    } //amp hack
```
Save and upload class_bbcode.php (overwrite).

Edit SHOWTHREAD template and add

Code:

<link rel="amphtml" href="http://www.vbulletin.com/amp.php?t=$threadid<if condition="$pagenumber>1">&amp;page=$pagenumber</if>" />

before </head>. Don't forget to change "yourforum.com" URL with yours.

Edit ampthread template and change "vbulletin.com" with your forum URL:

Code:

<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.vbulletin.com/showthread.php?t=$threadinfo[threadid]<if condition="$pagenumber>1">&page=$pagenumber</if>" />

You will find some comments in amp.php and ampthread template; modify them according to your needs (optional).

Notes
I installed a fresh vBulletin 3.8 to my localhost and tested this mod. It should work just fine unless your vBulletin is highly modified. If you get validation errors, I believe you can fix them by looking at the examples (comments).

Does it work?

Open a thread from your forum.
Replace the "showthread.php" with "amp.php" in the address bar, hit enter.
Add "#development=1" at the end of the URL and refresh the page.
Open Chrome DevTools, check the console log, it should say "AMP validation successful."

I am using a plugin to proxy cache remote images for https.

This is my class_bbcode-

PHP Code:


			
    function handle_bbcode_img_match($link)

    {

        $link = $this->strip_smilies(str_replace('\\"', '"', $link));



        // remove double spaces -- fixes issues with wordwrap

        $link = str_replace(array('  ', '"'), '', $link);



    $retval = '<img src="' .  $link . '" border="0" alt="" />';



    ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('bbcode_img_match')) ? eval($hook) : false;



    return $retval;

    }

And this is the plugin I am using-

PHP Code:


			
$url = parse_url($link);



if ($url['scheme'] == 'https') {

$retval = ($fullsize ? '<div class="size_fullsize">' : '')  . '<img src="' . $link .'" border="0" alt="" />' . ($fullsize ? '</div>' : '');

} elseif ($url['host'] == 'www.site.com') {

$retval = ($fullsize ? '<div class="size_fullsize">' : '')  . '<img src="' . $link .'" border="0" alt="" />' . ($fullsize ? '</div>' : '');

} else {

$retval = ($fullsize ? '<div class="size_fullsize">' : '')  . '<img src="cache.php?img=' . rawurlencode($link) .'" border="0" alt="" />' . ($fullsize ? '</div>' : '');

}

Kindly help.

Modify your class_bbcode.php as told in first post.

Replace your plugin with:

Code:

$url = parse_url($link);

//amphack
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'amp') {

if ($url['scheme'] == 'https') {
$retval = ($fullsize ? '<div class="size_fullsize">' : '')  . '<amp-img layout="responsive" src="' . $link .'" alt="" />' . ($fullsize ? '</div>' : '');
} elseif ($url['host'] == 'www.site.com') {
$retval = ($fullsize ? '<div class="size_fullsize">' : '')  . '<amp-img layout="responsive" src="' . $link .'" alt="" />' . ($fullsize ? '</div>' : '');
} else {
$retval = ($fullsize ? '<div class="size_fullsize">' : '')  . '<amp-img layout="responsive" src="cache.php?img=' . rawurlencode($link) .'" alt="" />' . ($fullsize ? '</div>' : '');
}

}
else
{
if ($url['scheme'] == 'https') {
$retval = ($fullsize ? '<div class="size_fullsize">' : '')  . '<img src="' . $link .'" border="0" alt="" />' . ($fullsize ? '</div>' : '');
} elseif ($url['host'] == 'www.site.com') {
$retval = ($fullsize ? '<div class="size_fullsize">' : '')  . '<img src="' . $link .'" border="0" alt="" />' . ($fullsize ? '</div>' : '');
} else {
$retval = ($fullsize ? '<div class="size_fullsize">' : '')  . '<img src="cache.php?img=' . rawurlencode($link) .'" border="0" alt="" />' . ($fullsize ? '</div>' : '');
}

}
//amp hack

Installed but VBSEO rewrite showthread.php

Any Help?

OK, my bad
https://www.elo-forum.org/amp.php?t=92082&page=5
anyway need to add or change a rewriterule?

EDIT
Ok, with vbseo you dont need any rewriterule!
Goto your VBSEO-Admincp. Select: "General Settings" -> "vBSEO Basic Settings".
Scoll down to "Exclusion of pages?". Add there amp.php and save your settings.

Btw. Thanks in advance!

You don't actually need to rewrite AMP pages. AMP pages will be served by Google once they are crawled.

You can try these Custom Rewrite Rules for vBSEO:

Code:

'^amp\.php\?t=(\d+)' => 'amp/$1.html'

or

Code:

'^amp\.php\?t=(\d+)&page=(\d+)$' => 'amp/$1-$2.html'

Installed on 3.8.8 PL2 and seems to work... however, the website is in English and Chrome thinks the AMP page is in Turkish and wants to translate? How to resolve?

Example Thread - http://pnwmoto.com/amp/2425.html

And thanks for building this mod!

Sorry, I forgot to tell you need to edit the "ampthread" template and change

Code:

<html amp lang="tr">

to

Code:

<html amp lang="en">

or to your language code. (de,fr,ro, etc...)

You beat me to it! I found out where the problem was happening, made the edit, and came back to this thread to find you already posted a fix. Thanks!

Great everything works...

I too am running vBSEO. Not sure if this is possible, is there a way to change the AMP permalink structure to match up with vBSEO URL's?

And to convert the vBSEO Printable Thread URL's to the AMP version?

Examples below:

--

Currently, the vBSEO Print Thread structure is:

Code:

[forum_title]/[thread_id]-[thread_title]-print.html

Can it be changed to the following:

Code:

[forum_title]/[thread_id]-[thread_title]-amp.html

--

Currently, the vbSEO Print Thread Pagination:

Code:

[forum_title]/[thread_id]-[thread_title]-[thread_page]-print.html

Can it be changed to the following:

Code:

[forum_title]/[thread_id]-[thread_title]-[thread_page]-amp.html

--

And then how to change the AMP permalink to match up?

Thoughts?

AMP version of threads are unaffaced by vBSEO on my setup. I guess you are tying to make vBSEO powered AMP threads. It will require some edits in vbseo\includes.

You currently have two canonical tags on your AMP threads. Remove the one in ampthread template. Check my second post, edit your pagenav template.

Finally, you should remove <base href...> tag from your AMP threads. I think it is added by vBSEO, too.

You must see the "AMP validation successful." message in your developer console log.

Once Googlebot crawls your AMP thread, (and if it returns valid AMP status code) Google will save a copy of your page to their servers.

So, when Google pushes AMP content for all kind of websites to mobile search results (soon), your AMP thread will be served via Google. This is what I know and I did not make any extra SEO efforts for AMP threads, based on this information.
