1. I am using vbSEO at my board. Does this addon have any influence on my SEO links?
2. Does it work with vbSEO at all?
3. Is it working with vB >3.7.3 or 3.8.x?

Thanks in advance...

1. Don't see how this modification can interfere with any other modification.
2. See ^^^
3. See my previous answers in this thread. This modification already works unchanged since 3.5, so i don't see why it wouldn't work on 3.8. But if you want to know........try it.

"thanks in advance"

I doubt that this modification would not work with vBSEO, but if it doesn't then the solution must come from vBSEO. I am not going to make changes.

PS What "link" is not recognised?

Installed. Working like a charm in my 3.8.0 board and greatly supported here.

Thanks Marco.

is it easy to modify this, so it will compare another variable to define which language is used?

I would like to install this mod in the following setting:

-> Forum language English (as I'm used to that)
-> Forum descriptions Dutch

Guess you'll understand what I mean.. I create a custom profile setting 'Forums Language' which can be Dutch/English and it only translates the titles/descriptions.

[flup]

can I request custom variables via the $vbulletin->userinfo[] variable?

Any further option may possible in future release on changing thread titles too?

And members can optionally put two titles for a thread.. one for lang 1 and another for lang 2 for example. I mean another title field which gonna be optional.

Sorry, don't get what you mean.

This would be something that not many would use, so i am not going to spend time such a feature. But you can ofcourse edit the copy used on your own forum.

Not so sure if this would work in real life. Doubt many posters will provide double (or triple) translations of a title. It could be done i guess, but i would suggestto make that a seperate modification (and no, i don't have the time to create it).
