YABBSEO[vB] Lite v1.0.0 At 05 Feb 2009

Updates of YABBSEO v1.1: Latest version!
Please see the following post with detailed directions and explanations of yabbseo/data/config.php.

Updates of YABBSEO v1.0.1:
1. Now YABBSEO supports mysqli connection.
2. Fix a serious bug that cause script not to parse the external url correctly.
3. Adding a miss hook in v1.0.0 for search members to redirect to the correct profile url.

How to update your installation of YABBSEO v1.0.1:
Untill now, you only need redownload the attachment to update the php scripts files and then reimporting the product XML file. BUT you must be careful if you have modified the file yabbseo/data/config.php. When you upload new scripts, please don't overwrite your customised config.php. And a backup of old installation is recommended when you make any updates on current installation.

Some previous installation may not include such TAG parsings in yabbseo/data/config.php, if yes, you need add them manually(suppose you don't want to overwrite config.php directly)

PHP Code:


			
'import' =>

    array (

      0 => '\\@',

      1 => 'url',

      2 => '\\(',

      3 => '\\"',

      4 => '1',

    ),

    'image:' =>

    array (

      0 => 'background\\-',

      1 => 'url',

      2 => '\\(',

      3 => '\\>',

      4 => '1',

    ),

The previous installation miss a hook called "Search members" at Plugins & Products>Plugin Manager, if you don't want to reimport the product XML file, you can add this hook as follows:
Plugins & Products>Add New Plugin
Product:

Code:

YABBSEO[vB]

Hook Location:

Code:

member_start

Title:

Code:

Search members

Yes, we have just finished a feature to redirect urls generated by a different rewrite rule(like TfSEO or C-Logic SEO or any others) to the your currrent url structure. If anyone interested, please contact me. I will do it for a small fee ($10-$30 depending on how many types of url to be redirect).

Yea, vBulletin 4.0 is supporting the Friendly Url Structure for thread, member and forum. But the feature is additional and not be optimized as ours. Anyway, vBulletin is a forum software, putting more focus on forum features, not a single SEO function. For example, vB4(at least beta version on their site) is not
rewriting member list page, faq page, calendar page and showpost page!
rewriting Blog pages, tags page and album pages (as in YABBSEO full version)
converting non-english languages in urls
stripping common words in url, like a, an, and ...
adding nofollows for some type of url as you want in YABBSEO or other similar SEO software
supporting customised SEO url(they provide three types url: showthread.php?tid-title, showthread.php/tid-title and threads/tid-title)
...

You mean you use a custom admincp directory? If yes, you can edit .htaccess file to find

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} (admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/

and then replace admincp with your custom admincp directory.

GodMaster · #**167** 11-09-2009, 08:24 AM

Oh, No!
I said "protected my admincp folder" no rename or new folder!

Sorry, I could not understand what you mean. Maybe it would be helpful to show me your forum.

GodMaster · #**169** 11-10-2009, 05:29 AM

ok

Code:

http://www.forum.parsiland.com/admincp/index.php

I protect my admincp directory!
.htaccess:

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} (admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/

euantor · #**170** 11-10-2009, 02:18 PM

Thanks for this

I installed it yesterday and it works a charm

I mucked up the config.php file a few times in trying to make the URLs look nice haha but other than that, it's perfect ^^

It is weird. Are you sure /admincp does exist on your server? What do you mean "I protect my admincp directory!"?

Another suggestion is if you want to rewrite the findlastposter link on forum index page:

Code:

member.php?find=lastposter&f=134

You can do some configuration in config.php: change post_parseurl to 1.
This means YABBSEO script will query database to get the corresponding userid(or post id,thread id) for the "nonparsed" links by default. BUT you should have in maind this will use additional mysql queries. If your forum is overloading, it is better to disable this option.

P.S. with YABBSEO lite edition, you could not remove our copyright information from the footer.
