SEO YouTube and Google Videos · **Released**: 11-13-2006

This mod was inspired by by Embed XHTML valid YouTube and Google Video into your posts but this mod contains some bugs and isn't complete so I then needed to modify it and decided to do it really well and aply SEO technology to it.

This mod will enable your users to publish YouTube or Google videos on your forum. It's managable via the adminpanel and the script will automaticly download the titles of the videos from YouTube or Google Video and store it in the database so it will get the videos indexed verry well and it's fast.

Some of the features:

Custom tagnames, manageable from the adminpanel
Automatic Video Title retrieval, with optional support for Lib Curl and user-simulated video title retrieval
Custom editor icons, managable from the adminpanel
Template based Google or YouTube video output
Support for local Google Video servers, to make your site local
Phrases for all text so it has support for multi-lingual forums
Optional, extend all links within the video with rel="nofollow", customizable seperately for YouTube or Google Video
Custom Video titles via tag option ([googlevideo="Video Title"]...[/googlevideo])
SEO Video Index (demo)
SEO Video Bar (demo)
Ability to configure usergroups that have access to delete videos.

Instalation:

Import the XML product
Upload the attached icon images (or use your own)
- Default is:
  - /images/editor/google.gif
  - /images/editor/youtube.gif
Open htaccess.txt, configure it (replace yourdomain with your domain), save it as .htaccess and upload it to the root of your forum
Run the included installer
- The installer will also upgrade previous instalations
- Bug: when you run the installer more then once, multiple of the same indexes are created. I haven't found a way yet to prevent this. I have posted some messages on MySQL forums to find an answere and will then upgrade the installer. For now it is adviced to run the installer just once and for upgrades it is adviced to check the PREFIXseovideos table after upgrading to see if there are any duplicate indexes configured to remove them if needed.
To install the Videobar anywhere on the forum use the folowing code:
- PHP Code:

Done.

Have Fun!

You have fixed the similie bug. Good job!

Well i think you need good instructions for installing.

Before i install it again, i wanna make sure i am doing things right.

Right now, i use the one .htaccess file which effects all the subdirectories.

Currently my .htaccess file looks like this.

How should i paste your .htaccess code?

By the way, Google and Youtube images from the editor are gone!! Nothing there.

Hi!

This code should work, I've also optimized your existing code.

Code:

## OpenSEF plain htaccess file
 
## Can be commented out if causes errors
Options FollowSymLinks
 
## mod_rewrite in use
RewriteEngine On
 
## If Joomla is installed in the web server root
## RewriteBase /
## If Joomla is installed in a sub-directory
## RewriteBase /directory_name_here
RewriteBase /


RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^pakistaniforces\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.pakistaniforces.com/$1 [L,R=301]
 
RewriteRule ^(sitemap.*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^pakistaniforcesforum\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.pakistaniforcesforum.com/index.php?styleid=35/$1 [L,R=301]
 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^videos\.html&page=([0-9]+)$ http://www.pakistaniforcesforum.com/videos-page$1.html [L,R=301]
 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^videos\.html$ index.php?videos=1 [L]
 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^videos-page([0-9]+)\.html$ index.php?videos=$1 [L]

 
## Begin 3rd Party or OpenSEF Section
##
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/component/option,com) [NC,OR]   ##optional - see notes##
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.htm|\.php|\.html|/[^.]*)$  [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php
##
## End 3rd Party or OpenSEF Section

Note! This code has been edited, use the code from this message not from the email.

Warning: file_get_contents(http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...85656910458954) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /includes/class_bbcode.php(166) : eval()'d code on line 65

The video display ok and I can play but kept getting this error. Could this have anything to do with mod rewrite disable on my host? TIA.

P.S. You can see the error here:

Adult SEO,

I think this has to do with fopen() and URL file access is disable problem with many hosts. It would be nice if you use cURL to make it more portable. Thanks.

Hi!

The mod has cURL support from the beginning! You can enable it from the adminpanel.

cURL will also ensure that the user doesn't have to wait for minutes when a videohost is down since you can specify the connection timeout and it will also ensure that the videohosts don't ban you as fast as they may when they detect your server being accessing the videos as cURL will simulate a real user!

Best Regards,
Jan Jaap

Is previous post also an answer to how the .htaccess file should be written for boards that are installed in a subdirectory ? My forum is installed in /forum and the videobar isnt working with that rewrite condition .. See posts 179 and 180

Can you post an example of a rewrite rule for /forum ?

does anyone else have trouble using html on with this hack ?

Hastin · #**190** 11-23-2006, 11:48 AM

Great hack, but have a couple of issues:

1. What would the .htaccess look like for a forum installed in /forums/?
2. It seems that all my videos in the index are black. I've tracked this down to how the script is parsing the videoid. Most of my videos have the wrong id in the database. What's going on?

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^videos\.html&page=([0-9]+)$ http://www.micechat.com/forums/videos-page$1.html [L,R=301]
 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^videos\.html$ index.php?videos=1 [L]
 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^videos-page([0-9]+)\.html$ index.php?videos=$1 [L]

Regarding the wrong ID's, could you please show me an example?

Best Regards,
