Did you miss the download numbers?

File Type: %1$s vBGT v2.0.zip (64.7 KB, 105 downloads)
File Type: %1$s vBGT v2.2.zip (26.6 KB, 45 downloads)
File Type: %1$s vBGT v2.3.zip (26.6 KB, 70 downloads)
File Type: %1$s vBGT v2.4.zip (26.5 KB, 61 downloads)

Also v1 was in an old thread, plenty of d/l there too.

Getting ready to try this on Tuesday or Wednesday. I am running VB 3.8.3 with vbSEO 3.3.0.

I have a forum with 300k messages 30k threads and 50k users.

Is the software designed to handle that type of load and are there any installation tips you might suggest?

Thanks for what looks like a really cool application.

One of my forums is around that and it runs just fine, on a site that big I would use an if condition and just show the flags on showthread pages, that will mean only the real good content gets translated and that you DB doesn't get too big and full of tag and member pages which bring little traffic anyway. Good luck.

Thanks Dave, can you give me an idea as to what the syntax would be for the conditional? I am pretty sure that I can follow the installation instructions, but I am unclear the proper way to do the conditional. I was planning on putting it in the header like the example link above.

Thanks,
Dave

<if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread')">
<!-- vBGT Code Start-->
<div align="center">
<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->
$translateflags
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
</div>
<!-- vBGT Code End -->
</if>

Replace that with the one in the install guide.

I have no questions as such, but I was just thinking about the url rewrites, are they also going to be rewritten in that new language?

It's pretty hard to do, no such thing as Chinese urls for example...

However translated pages have a new url, new meta tags and new content.

Thanks Dave!

I'm trying to use this great addon but can't get the links to show up. It works when I add the "?hl=XXX" string manually.

I'm using PHP 5.3 running as FastCGI. And I recognized that the mechanism to fetch the appropriate language links is a little bit odd - could some of the URL rewriting stuff you do in "translateflags.php" be broken in PHP 5.3?
