After seeing the http://www.digg.com/spy application; I wondered if this could be done for vBulletin as well. I came across this webpage which had a "how to" on how they built a similiar application to do the same thing. Taking a page from their book (i.e. the code), I modified it for use with vBulletin.

During development, I also came across this post here on vBulletin.Org where the very subject had already been discussed.

So I put this together; a simple ZIP file with a single PHP script, three javascript files and 4 images.

Installation

. UNZIP the file into your forums directory
. That's it!

Virtually all the code to customize the page is in the vaispy.php script; there are no plugins, no templates and no phrases. You do not need to do anything further; this should work right out of the box.

In your browser, open the URL:

http://www.yourforum.com/forum/vaispy.php

You can see examples of this at:

http://www.viperalley.com/forum/vaispy.php
http://www.extremefitness.com/forum/vaispy.php

Note: I claim no ownership of this code except for the file vaispy.php - the rest of the files were using 'freely distributable' sources. As such, you may use these files as you wish, but please do not remove the copyrights.

This modification is for vBulletin 3.6 only, if you are running vBulletin 3.5 you will need to see this thread.

JOIN THE vBIspy Network!
Once you have this mod installed, you can join the vBIspy network to have your threads appear on this site; the vBIspy Network is a great way for people to see what's going on in various vBulletin communities and for forum owners to promote their sites and generate new traffic.

On my site the URLs are not rewritten, I believe because the links are generated for display within the JavaScript code; not within the vB page itself that gets parsed.

I would imagine the SEO code could be used in the vaispy.php application after getting the links written; didn't someone post this info earlier in the thread?

There is something wrong with your html:

Code:
/*======================================================================*\
|| ####################################################################
|| # Downloaded: 20:59, Wed Sep 13th 2006
|| # CVS: $RCSfile: vbulletin_cphome_scripts.js,v $ - $Revision: 1.4 $
|| ####################################################################
\*======================================================================*/_onreadystatechange);
	news.send('./newsproxy.php', '');
}

/*======================================================================*\
|| ####################################################################
|| # Downloaded: 09:07, Wed Oct 4th 2006
|| # CVS: $RCSfile: vbulletin_cphome_scripts.js,v $ - $Revision: 1.6 $
|| ####################################################################
\*======================================================================*/
which is popping up an error in the line in bold; I'd check your vbulletin_cphome_scripts.js file for any errors; looks like the file is corrupted.

Checked it, re-uploaded it and still nothing.
