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!

The forums with id=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 reloads the index.php.

I just read in clickz that Google can now crawl dynamically generated pages. Is that true??

Yup.

Search Google for "Thorikos" and fifth link down is my forum. I think I've had a few referrals from posts to do with oikoi too.

Are you using an IIS server also? I am and can not get the links to work properly either. I would really love to get this working.

Small Bug with displaying private forums:

If you have a private forum with id 5 and try acessing page - /archive/5 it won't show the threads BUT if you add a zero to the front and try - /archive/05 it WILL lists the private forum.

To fix find:
PHP Code:
    while($urlArray[$a] != "archive") {
        
$a++;
    }

    
$forumID=$urlArray[($a+1)]; 
add below:
PHP Code:
$forumID $forumID 0

Is there any way to get this to work on a W2K server with IIS?

I did the redirect for the 404 error but it just reloads the index page. Here is an example http://www.reefcentral.com/vbulletin/archive/index.php
