Major Additions - Zoints SEO

********Please do not use this modification unless you are VERY well educated on SEO and forum modification********

Zoints is a company that believes that forums are the killer application of the internet. We want to empower forum owners to take their community to the next level. Therefore, Zoints has been developing an extremely powerful vBulletin forum SEO and revenue enhancing solution for more than two years now. However, because we are focusing on our Forum Network and Thread Tagging System, we have decided to release this SEO solution to the vBulletin community under the lgpl license. Zoints SEO is now open source and NOT supported by us. We hope that the vBulletin dev community comes together to take this already powerful solution and make it even better. Empower yourselves

Zoints SEO can be discussed here or http://network.zoints.com (again, we will not be providing official support).


Known bugs

1. If a user disables cookies, infinite redirect loop.
2. index2, index3 pagination breaks some things. Standard p2, p3 works fine.

Okay maybe.. But I still like it for so people easier can see the threads content

Then check out vRewrite.

Is there any way of turning off the optimised URL's for specific forums?
I have iTrader installed and configured to work in my classified section, but it doesn't agree with the SEO URL's of the threads. By this I mean that in order for feedback to be left for members, a thread URL needs to be submitted, but iTrader is not working with the Zoints SEO URL's.

All I want is a method to exclude my classified section from having the URL's re-written by the Zoints SEO without turning off the whol product.

Thanks in advance.

In vB 3.6.5 there is a bug in Zoints Seo. If you klick on the URL or IMG button in the Quick Edit or Quick Reply, you come to an Error page in the little window with the message: Wrong Topic (In German "Ungültiges Thema"). Has anybody an idea how can you fix this bug?
It also is in the smilie menu in QR and QE (Hack). You come to the same page like above.

Thanks for the answers!

Problem fixed with help from vbulletin-germany.com!

In file clientscript/vbulletin_textedit.js find:

		if (is_ie7)
		{
			var returnvalue = window.showModalDialog("clientscript/ieprompt.html", { value: defaultval, label: dialogtxt, dir: document.dir, title: document.title }, "dialogWidth:320px; dialogHeight:150px; dialogTop:" + (parseInt(window.screenTop) + parseInt(window.event.clientY) + parseInt(document.body.scrollTop) - 100) + "px; dialogLeft:" + (parseInt(window.screenLeft) + parseInt(window.event.clientX) + parseInt(document.body.scrollLeft) - 160) + "px; resizable: No;");
		}
		else
		{
			var returnvalue = prompt(dialogtxt, defaultval);
		}

Rewrite the red marked path with you full path like that:

		if (is_ie7)
		{
			var returnvalue = window.showModalDialog("http://www.yousite.tld/forum/clientscript/ieprompt.html", { value: defaultval, label: dialogtxt, dir: document.dir, title: document.title }, "dialogWidth:320px; dialogHeight:150px; dialogTop:" + (parseInt(window.screenTop) + parseInt(window.event.clientY) + parseInt(document.body.scrollTop) - 100) + "px; dialogLeft:" + (parseInt(window.screenLeft) + parseInt(window.event.clientX) + parseInt(document.body.scrollLeft) - 160) + "px; resizable: No;");
		}
		else
		{
			var returnvalue = prompt(dialogtxt, defaultval);
		}

It is not the best solutions but a good work-arround!

Thank you so much for this!!!!! I spent 2 hours trying to figure this out. Man! I was way off base trying to use htaccess and the parse plug in for photopost...

I spent all that time when it was one tiny add......man..

Thanks!! The gallery is now fully functional with rewrites!! Yeeha...

[RichieBoy67]

one small issue I am having is with the digital co op banner verification. basically when the crawlers go to the site to confirm placement of thier banners they are getting thrown off by urlrewrite......

Is there a fix for this?? Would something similiar to the gallery fix work for this as well???

Has anyone else had a problem with this type of problem???


in response to the zoints seo site map mod.. I would love that!! I think all of these zoints mods and integrations are excellent and if they are all as good as what we have seen so far I say keep em coming!!!


Thanks for all the hard work and time to not only come up with these, write them but also support them...

Rich

PS- If anyone wants to see any of the zoints mods in action visit www.talkandmore.net -- I will create temp log ins if requested...

[Cagonni]

in godaddy there are some problems with mod_rewrite..

take a look at this..

Options SymlinksIfOwnerMatch
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
Rewritebase /
RewriteRule ^/?test\.html$ test.php [L]

this htaccess change test.php to test.html it works.But in zoints seo i should edit this lines like above..

RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]*-(f|all)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$ forumdisplay.php/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]*-(t|p)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$ showthread.php/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(index\.php|\.css) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(archive|sitemap)/(.*)$ $1/index.php/$2 [QSA,L]

but how?

I have a fix for this :-)

Create a new plugin for "vBulletin" (Maybe also for Zoints SEO, dont know, havent tested).
Hook: global_start
title: doesnt matter
Order: 1 (important!)
PHP-Code:

if(!$show['search_engine'] && $vbulletin->superglobal_size['_COOKIE'] == 0)
    $vbulletin->options['zointsseo_on'] = false;

You can test if you want:
www.rellek.org


Search-Bots should not be affected from this little hack


Thanks for this great addon, by the way :-)

I am using this plugin.Everything is ok.But there is only one problem about forum access password.

When we are using zoints seo we can not log in to any forum has password access.
If I disable the plugin we can log into the forum.

I try to chenge the password but still we can not.It says everytime " wrong password".

How can I solve this problem?
