Adding <link rel="prev" etc

That's an important addition?could you post your revised code so we can see where you added it, please?

Thanks to everyone who contributed. This is good stuff.

Two questions:

When I create the plugin, what hook do I attach it to?

Do I need to put a variable into the headinclude utilize the results of this code?

First i would like to thank you kh99 and Ameise, the code on post #7 works perfectly for SHOWTHREAD and FORUMDISPLAY pages.

The unique problem is with tag pages, on the second page of the tags it adds a rel="prev"

<link rel="prev" href="http://www.vbulletin.com/tags/messenger-page1.html" />

When it should simply be
<link rel="prev" href="http://www.vbulletin.com/tags/messenger.html" />

I'm using vBSEO anyway when i disable it, it also add &page=1.

Any idea how can this be fixed?

Thanks!

Yeah, hilaryl mentioned that he (or she) add a line for that. I guess it would be something like:

PHP Code:

if ($pagenumber > 1)
{
   global $headinclude;
   $prevpage = $pagenumber - 1;
   $prevnumbers = fetch_start_end_total_array($prevpage, $perpage, $results);
   $show['prev'] = true;
   if ($pagenumber == 2)
   {
      $headinclude .= "<link rel=\"prev\" href=\"{$address}\">\n";
   }
   else
   {
      $headinclude .= "<link rel=\"prev\" href=\"{$address}&amp;page={$prevpage}\">\n";
   }
}
if ($pagenumber < $totalpages)
{
   global $headinclude;
   $nextpage = $pagenumber + 1;
   $nextnumbers = fetch_start_end_total_array($nextpage, $perpage, $results);
   $show['next'] = true;
   $headinclude .= "<link rel=\"next\" href=\"{$address}&amp;page={$nextpage}\">\n";
}

Hi Guys,

Sorry I didn't get back earlier - missed the notification!

kh99's example of the code with the page alteration is exactly how I have it.

For darnoldy:
The hook I used was pagenav_complete, and because the code is adding data to the already implemented $headinclude variable - you don't have to add anything to your templates. Just activate the plugin and it will do the rest.

Thanks,
hilaryl
