I am tired of my 200,000 posts not being listed in Google. I was inspired by phpbuilder.com this morning and I wrote:

vbSpiderFriend - the search engine indexer for all of your posts

Purpose: Allow search engine spiders to crawl a linked list of all of your posts.

Project Requirements:

-Friendly URLs (no query strings)
-Good dynamic meta tags
-Never have to touch the script again.. It is Y3K compliant, simply re-submit to the engines to update your listings

Install Requirements:

-vBulletin 1.x or 2.x
-about 10 minutes

1) Download the attached Zip.

2) Open class.mysql.php and put your database login info at the top.

3) Create a new directory called archive under your forum, like /forum/archive

4) Open the included .htaccess and change the Error 404 to your new archive path.

5) Open index.php and change the self-explanatory variables at the top of the file.

6) Upload all 3 files to your archive directory.

7) Submit /forum/archive/index.php to search engines and watch em crawl

DISCLAIMER: I don't use 2.x but I checked the schema and this should work fine.

NOTES: This uses ErrorDocument and query string parsing to get the variables needed. I do not have the time or energy to troubleshoot this if it does not work on your server. Sorry!

Having read this thread, I'm getting the same error:

"Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function htmlheader() in /home/user/domain-www/forums3/archive/index.php on line 77"

I downloaded the latest zip as well. Any thoughts?

Also, the question was asked but I didn't see the answer?
In class.mysql.php, at the top, what is "conn" supposed to be set to?

Thanks

lol overgrow

Come to daddy you cybersurfin beauties

Top class site by the way love it, the design is top draw, and many thanks for this hack much appreciated.

Thanks peteruk

To the htmlheader() folks, are you by chance using PHP3? The reason I ask is because I define my functions last, but PHP3 needs them defined first. If so, try this version... I bet it will give an array_pop error or something since that's not a PHP3 function but that will tell us what's wrong...

ps. conn should be left blank

tes to php3

the error:
"Parse error: parse error in /home/user/domain-www/forums3/archive/index.php on line 284"

Thanks for the effort!

the above error can be fixed by replacing "=" with "echo"

unfortunately, i don't know what to do about:

Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function array_shift() in /home/kdpublis/kdpublish-www/ssoda/archive/index.php on line 247

such a cool hack! think i'll change my host so i can have php4 already...

Heh !

great hack !

Looks like Google have caught on and are ready for a bit of mass spidering

see pic !

would be nice if there is away to add adverts to the top and bottom of the created pages

Overgrow · #40 05-09-2001, 01:41 PM

Simple!

After this:

PHP Code:


			
$pagetitle="Grow Marijuana @ Overgrow";

Insert this:

PHP Code:


			
$header=""; // OPTIONAL header to insert at the top of all pages

$footer=""; // OPTIONAL footer to insert at the bottom of all pages

After this:

PHP Code:


			
} else {

    showThread();

}

Insert this:

PHP Code:


			
echo $footer;

and one more

After this:

PHP Code:


			
<BODY bgcolor="#ffffff">

Insert this:

PHP Code:


			
<?=$header?>

These changes have been reflected in this file if you want to download it and change the other variables again ----> next post

p.s. Funny google gif! I thought you were going to show us how your board was somehow listed already.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
