No support by the author.

As with the new developments around schema.org standards, Google announced that they will highlight page authors in their search results as below.




To achieve this result in SERP's you need to apply authorship markup.

For vBulletin, this can be done by adding the rel="author" markup to the threads, so this tag will get linked to the profile page of thread starter.

In template postbit(_legacy) find:
Code:
<a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a>
Replace it with:
Code:
<a <if condition="$thread['postuserid'] == $post['userid'] && $thread['firstpostid'] == $post['postid']">rel="author"</if> class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a>

Example: Becoming A Health Insurance Agent

Only thread starter has the rel="author" tag applied:
Code:
<a rel="author" class="bigusername" href="http://www.insurance-forums.net/forum/healthagent-4/">healthagent</a>

Note: This won't mean all of your members will show up as authors in google search results. Google will consider as original authors only those who have linked their Google Profile pages to your forum.

Works on all vB 3.x

I hope you find it useful.

Don't see how this would work unless something like this was added to vb profile page:

<a rel="me" href="https://plus.google.com/11111000000XXXX/"> <img src="//www.google.com/images/icons/ui/gprofile_button-16.png"> </a>

Seems like we need another hack. this would make VB and vb profile pages work like Google suggests for multiple author pages. Seems like you'd have to allow another user profile field to accept the Google profile number and then create a hidden link in the form above on everyone's profile page, no?

This can not be applied to vB 4.x

Could you please let us know how we can do this with vB 4.2 ?

Thank you.
