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).

Hello,

This drove me nuts for months: Zoints SEO "kills" the tag cloud system search (tags.php) from vBulletin 3.7.x.

After spending hours researching this problem, I FINALLY FOUND THE SOLUTION. Here we go.

Two items need to be edited.

1. Open tags.php and add what is marked in red:

$show['disabled'] = ($movethread["$thread[threadid]"] OR $deletethread["$thread[threadid]"] OR $approvethread["$thread[threadid]"] OR $openthread["$thread[threadid]"]) ? false : true;
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('threadbit_display')) ? eval($hook) : false;
eval('$threadbits .= "' . fetch_template('threadbit') . '";');

2. Open the plugin called "Zoints SEO" at the hook "threadbit_display" and add what is marked in red:

$thread['zointsurl'] = zseo_url_thread($thread, 1, $thread['highlight']);
$thread[zointsforumurl] = zseo_url_forum($thread);
$show['zointsurl'] = true;

After these two modifications the tag cloud system will work 100% with Zoints SEO.

Cheers,
Gabriel Torres.

Ah, I see, it fixes the links on the site but it doesn't set the url so that all incoming are changed so they appear without the index.php...
