vB Drupal CMS, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) · **Released**: 10-06-2005

This is an addon module for vB Drupal: Community Plumbing

This addon should work for both vB Drupal versions, the 3.0.x version and 3.5 version.

What does it do: This module will automatically generate search engine optimized links to your vB Drupal content.

vB Drupal by default has two options that make it search engine friendly, custom path alias, and clean URL's.

This module extends those options by enhancing those clean URL's by adding text. For example, a blog entry titled "The meaning of life", will generate an auto link in the index as "mysite.com/The_meaning_of_life". It will also map user id's to user names. So instead of /blog/2" it will become "blog/tamarian" etc.

The pathauto module from Drupal will not work with vB Drupal, this modified version allows it to work with your vB Drupal.

One major change from the original module is that it will not scan your entire user table, only users who have content. This avoids timeout issues, and optimizes the performance by only generating links to users who have content.

Orginal source: http://drupal.org/node/17345

License: GPL

Installation: Unzip and upload the entire pathauto directory to your vB Drupal module directory. Activate the module in your module settings, and configure the settings/pathauto page. Note that you should also activate the path module, they need to work together.

Your PHP version is older than 4.0.4, upgrade to something newer

Do not know if it is a bug! I choose "-" as seperator, but this seems to be ignored for blog paths.

Users that has not yet wrote a blog or anything are replaced by ther uid and not by their username, I used the default settings for that (user/[user])

Yes, users who have no blogs, will not have a username url, just i.d. number. This is not the default behaviour for Drupal, I had to change it to accomodate vB forums, where you 10's or 100's of thousend members. The current SEO module would crash on those. The author will implement a cron for the next version.

Re the "-", do you have an example URL?

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