Board Optimization - SEO YouTube and Google Videos

This mod was inspired by by Embed XHTML valid YouTube and Google Video into your posts but this mod contains some bugs and isn't complete so I then needed to modify it and decided to do it really well and aply SEO technology to it.

This mod will enable your users to publish YouTube or Google videos on your forum. It's managable via the adminpanel and the script will automaticly download the titles of the videos from YouTube or Google Video and store it in the database so it will get the videos indexed verry well and it's fast.

Some of the features:

• Custom tagnames, manageable from the adminpanel
• Automatic Video Title retrieval, with optional support for Lib Curl and user-simulated video title retrieval
• Custom editor icons, managable from the adminpanel
• Template based Google or YouTube video output
• Support for local Google Video servers, to make your site local
• Phrases for all text so it has support for multi-lingual forums
• Optional, extend all links within the video with rel="nofollow", customizable seperately for YouTube or Google Video
• Custom Video titles via tag option ([googlevideo="Video Title"]...[/googlevideo])
• SEO Video Index (demo)
• SEO Video Bar (demo)
• Ability to configure usergroups that have access to delete videos.

Instalation:

1. Import the XML product
2. Upload the attached icon images (or use your own)
   • Default is:
     • /images/editor/google.gif
     • /images/editor/youtube.gif
3. Open htaccess.txt, configure it (replace yourdomain with your domain), save it as .htaccess and upload it to the root of your forum
4. Run the included installer
   • The installer will also upgrade previous instalations
   • Bug: when you run the installer more then once, multiple of the same indexes are created. I haven't found a way yet to prevent this. I have posted some messages on MySQL forums to find an answere and will then upgrade the installer. For now it is adviced to run the installer just once and for upgrades it is adviced to check the PREFIXseovideos table after upgrading to see if there are any duplicate indexes configured to remove them if needed.
5. To install the Videobar anywhere on the forum use the folowing code:
   • PHP Code:

     <!-- SEO Videos Index Bar --> 


Done.

Have Fun!

I too am curious about applying the .htaccess info to an existing file. Also, has anyone run this mod with vBSEO installed as well?

I think that the solution to this is to parse the text only one time when the thread is created or something like that or just forget to gain popularity with this plugin

I've made some test with my board with more that 2500 users online, I have 4 webservers and 2 DB servers and when I enabled this plugin the load went from 1.5 to 10.5 in minutes... I disabled it and everything goes to normal again.

See ya.

does it parse for every thread whether there is a video or not?

or only ones with published videos?

hey, im trying to get this to work cause this seems to be the media script that i prefer out of them all available here.

i have this script semi-working on my site i just need a little bit of assistance with the .htaccess

i tried rewriting the URL:

http://www.ready-up.com/main/community/?videos=1

to be http://www.ready-up.com/main/community/videos/

but i just cant seem to figure out how to do that. also, my video index is not displaying the videos...only all of the other information. the videos are blank and not appearing on the video index.

everything else is working perfectly fine. could i have a little help with the rewrite, and how come the videos arent showing on the index?

Hi!

It will parse the video once when it is posted, after that it will use the vBulletin caching system and a once per user database query to obtain the video information from the database.

i dont know why

the mod works perfectly, but the video page located here:

http://www.ready-up.com/main/community/videos.html

is not showing the video previews as it should be...

is there something my server should have installed that maybe is causing the problem?

Hi!

It seems to be a template issue.

p.s. your implementation of the video page is really cool!
