Next/Previous Thread Title Replacements · **Released**: 11-07-2006

Keywords: Thread, Newest, Oldest, SHOWTHREAD, SEO

Description:

Quote:

Replaces the ? Previous Thread | Next Thread ? links located at the bottom of the SHOWTHREAD output with their respective thread titles. Adds 2 additional queries.

Details:

Quote:

This hack functions exactly like the current links, except now users can see the actual thread titles of the next newest and next oldest thread. Someone said this could(?) help with SEO somewhere along the line. I don't claim to know enough to validate this statement. I developed the hack because it simply provided more information to the user, possibly enticing them to click with a thread title that may peak their interest.

I've also never been fond of the location of these links originally, at the bottom, so I've included an option via the AdminCP where you can opt to relocate the links to the top of the page just below the navbar (see screenshots below).

Installation:

Quote:

1. Download and import the product-nextprevtitle_v2.1.xml file via the Product Manager.

2. Optionally, you may configure alternate placement via your AdminCP (vBulletin Options > Next/Previous Thread Titles)

3. ???

4. Profit

Version History:

Quote:

v1.0 - Initial Release
v2.0 - Added ability to choose placement; Added template for end-user configuration
v2.1 - Adapted to work with 3.6.3

* Occasionally, you may notice a link beying displayed as "-" rather than a thread title. This is normal. This simply means there is no thread which is newer (or older) than the current thread being viewed. This same functionality is in vBulletin by default.

Either way, this is a free alternative for those not fortunate enough to be blessed with a vBSEO license. :P

* Edit: I checked the vBSEO forums, and indeed they are implenting this feature -- however, I'm unsure if it's a function of vBSEO or a completely separate hack they are using. I'm looking through my vBSEO Control Panel right now and I can't find an option for it.

It should be available in all versions of vBSEO including the previous ones and somehow, I think you have missed it so here's how to find it:

Go to vBSEO CP > SEO Functions > Direct Links > Replace 'Previous/Next Thread' redirect links and finally switch that option to "Yes".

thanks was looking for this

however I would point one thing here:

there is no use of adding /showthread.php?t=5464&goto=nextnewest and /showthread.php?t=3424&goto=nextoldest to this URLs, consider removing them.

This behavior is default in vBulletin. See for yourself, hover over "Previous Thread" here on vBulletin.org.
