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

I'm having the same problem with the archive. It does show, but when a link is clicked, it doesn't do anything

Correct usage is

	$string = str_replace("ı", "i", $string); 
    	$string = str_replace("ğ", "g", $string); 
    	$string = str_replace("?", "u", $string); 
    	$string = str_replace("ş", "s", $string); 
    	$string = str_replace("?", "o", $string); 
    	$string = str_replace("?", "c", $string); 
    	$string = str_replace("Ğ", "g", $string); 
    	$string = str_replace("?", "u", $string);      
    	$string = str_replace("Ş", "s", $string); 
    	$string = str_replace("İ", "i", $string); 
    	$string = str_replace("?", "o", $string); 
    	$string = str_replace("?", "c", $string);

If I edit a post, the smilies don't show up, and if I try to check the Smilie-Image, it shows me the Path of the Forum. I use the index.html version.

Also if a new-PM Popup apperas and I click on "Yes" to open it, it try to open the private.php in the create Forum of the Thread / Forum I am in the Moment.

With the p1 Setting all works. I just switched back.

[rezapci]

how could I remove the orum SEO by Zoints from bottom of my pages?

[tyler_d]

i think if you join zoints (for free) or donate $100 you're authorized to do it

and to accomplish it technically, just go to language phrase search (in vB admin backend) look for the zoints copyright verbiage and replace the text with an empty space character " "

In my archive it shows forums but when I try to look at a thread it redirects me back to the main index of the archive so I cant read archive threads while this hack is turned on. Everything else works great except I cant looped when I try to read posts in the archive.

If I disable archive_postheader and archive_process_start plugins it works fine.

Does anyone know what could cause this problem? Is this happening to anyone else?

great hack btw, I am very thankful for this, if I get this one problem worked out it will be 100% smooth operating.

Not that it matters as both systems are great and do what they are intended to do.

On topic: Do you happen to know why a site using Zoints SEO's rewrite gives you an infinite redirect loop which results in the inability to access the site's content when you refuse the site's cookies? (works just fine with cookies)

I've tried it on multiple sites (even your own). I have noticed that vBSEO does not appear to have this issue and it is kind of odd since cookies shouldnt really matter.
