Show Thread Enhancements - Relevant Thread Text

Keywords: Relevant, Replacement, Thread, SHOWTHREAD, SEO

Description:
Adds relevant text to the SHOWTHREAD template with details to help with thread SEO.

Details:
I was privately comissioned to develop this hack based off the 'Relevant Replacement' feature of vBSEO by a client who wished it to be released to the public base upon completion. This hack is NOT a vBSEO replacement nor is it useful for those who already run vBSEO.

Installation:
1. Download and import the product-rtt1.0.0.xml file via the Product Manager.

2. Configure the product via the AdminCP (vBulletin Options > Relevant Thread Text)

3. Place <!--RTT--> within your SHOWTHREAD template where you would like the text displayed.

4. ???

5. Profit


Version History:
v1.0.0 - Initial Release
v1.0.1 - Added stripping of BBCode and URL's from [first_post_X_words] replacement (pointed out by BuzuL)

* Please note that this modification was developed on a forum with a userbase of 1 (myself). I've tested it for basic functionality but I cannot guarantee functionality or behavior on your forum. So, please -- make backups before installing this product!

Easy! Because I'm an idiot.

It should be <!--RTT--> I fixed that typo in the first post. Sorry!

Hmm, I can not seem to get this to work. I put the <!--RTT--> after $navbar in the SHOWTEMPLATE forum, but nothing comes up. The plug-in is active and the code seems to be fine, and an uninstall and reinstall did nothing.

Anything else I can check for?

+1
[ <!--RTT--> <!--RRT--> ] i have added this both code but nothing has changed...

I just got this working.

I had to edit the plugin to do it though, so I am not sure if it will be a good long-term fix.


What I did was to edit the following linke

$vbulletin->templatecache['SHOWTHREAD'] = str_replace('<!--RTT-->', $vboptions[rtt_text], $vbulletin->templatecache['SHOWTHREAD']);

I changed $vboptions[rtt_text] to $vbulletin->options['rtt_text'] . Now it is working fine.

Hrm, that's weird. I installed it on a fresh forum and it worked.. the modification you made won't have any ill-effect, so no worries.

thanks.. I am going to install it right now and will let you know the results.

Updated to v1.0.1. Added a minor fix to strip BBCode and URLs from [first_post_X_words] replacement (pointed out by BuzuL).

Just download and import the xml, select "Allow Overwrite".

thanks for this magnus unsure if this will really help with new google algo.. they are being very quick changing serp behavious

[BuzuL]

this is a awesome patch now thx again for this...

Probably a silly question, but is there an option/method to only show the RT tag/info to search engines? It's definitely a great hack, I just don't want to see the header every time.
