[high]HOW GOOD DOES THIS HACK WORK??? >>> [/high]Over 29,000 pages spidered since January 1st!!!!!!! Visit http://www3.google.com/search?hl=en&...e+SkuZZy+Xenon to see all the pages this script has helped get spidered into google! Sub-Forums have been added! Final Version Released - February 10th I added sub-forums in this final version, one of the most requested features to be added... but, sad to say... this will be the final version. I never got a chance to add some of the cool features I said, but I feel this archive has served it's purpose and hopefully will continue to do so for all the die hard users who stick with vb 2.2.9. I decided to make this the final version because vb3 is coming out soon and I think this archive is the best archive currently out. Sure, there are more flashy ones, but this one gets the job done and gets results. Hopefully this hack will live on for a while. Edit by Xenon: Whenever there is a problem, i'll take a look at it, and perhaps add a feature or two About this hack This hack will help get all your threads listed in google and other search engines and get your threads easily spidered! It works by creating an archive and turning all your posts into .html format. It doesn't actually create the .html files though, but google thinks they are real! It uses mod_Rewrite. If you don't have mod_Rewrite, you can't use the scripts (sorry). What does it do? The purpose of this hack are to get your keywords from your forums listed in google and get people visiting them! Since these are all pure text and don't use tables or excess font tags, they are very friendly on bandwidth! This will display all your files in a nice text format that google will absolutely love! Visit the online demo below to see it in action! Online Demos To view a demo of this script, visit some of the "live" demos at the following sites: http://www.destee.com/forums/archives http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/archive/ http://www.truecountry.com/forums/history/ http://www.strategy-forum.de/easy_archive/index.php http://www.pimprig.com/forums/archive/ http://www.jokersrewards.com/forum/history/ http://board.midibuddy.net/archive2/ http://x-mencomics.com/xfan/forums/archive/ http://www.macfora.com/forums/archive/ http://www.rcgroups.com/archive/ http://www.codewebs.com/forums/archive/ http://www.lcdmod.com/forums/archive/ http://www.source-forums.org/vB/archive/ http://www.subduck.com/history/ http://www.thesistersthree.com/archive/ http://www.a51forums.com/archive/ http://www.yes-its-free.com/easyarchive/ http://www.wcgateway.com/forums/archive http://www.toyotaimportsforum.co.uk/forum/archive/ http://www.prisontalk.com/forums/archive/ http://www.gamesites200.com/archive/ http://www.allthingsmoto.com/archive http://www.2spoemas.com/foros/archive/ http://www.mysticwicks.com/archive/ Requirements Apache vBulletin 2.x mod_mime installed .htaccess 5 minutes of your time... Known Problems/Confusion Mod_mime - You will NEED mod_mime to run these scripts. Mod_mime is a free module which enables a directive called "ForceType". This allows you to use the .htaccess file included to force your files into php mode, which allows simple URL's, without .php in them. If you can see the front page of your archive, but get an error page when you click on any links then this is your problem. To fix it, you will need to install mod_mime, or ask your host to do it. It's a FREE module. For more information, visit http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_mime.html Private forums - Private forums are NOT shown and they will NOT be spidered. Some people say the private forums show up, that is because you are logged in as the admin and the archive uses permissions. So anyone who has permission to view the private forums on your forums, will beable to view them on the archives also. But if you log out of your account OR log into an account that doesn't have access to them, then you won't beable to view them Credits Biggest credit goes to Xenon who originally coded the scripts. He is the man! Also thanks to everyone who tested it out for me and kept bugging me about releasing it (when I was too lazy to). Agreement By using these scripts & installing them, you agree to leave the small (virtually unnoticable) copyright text and links at the bottom of all pages. You also agree to leave jelsoft's copyright there as well. You can modify the scripts much as you want, but this portion must remain intact (links must stay) and visible. This is all we ask Download Final To install, just download the file below and open the "_readme.txt" file. All is explained there. Installation should only take a couple of minutes. If you have problems with this script, post them in this thread and I will try and get around to answering them. Show Your Support

This has most liekly been answered somewhere in this thread already, but there's so many page of replies I probably missed it. Does this work on a Win server or is a *nix required?

My Google page count has gone down about 150 since I installed this hack. I have submitted it to Google and put a link on every page to the archive. Any other suggestions?
Is there anyway to see googlebots in vBulletin? |

The only thing I recall changing for newer php versions is the includes in the index.php. They are old and call files with the file URL. Change the includes to server absolute paths.
ie. "/home/sitename/public_html/forums/archives/header.php" Instead of... "http://www.sitename.com/forums/archives/header.php" For online locations we use this code with this hack in online.php... Code:
// is the user in the archives hack $myfind='/\/forums\/archives/'; if( preg_match($myfind,$userinfo[location])){ $userinfo[where] = "Browsing the <A href=\"http://www.lakecs.com/forums/archives/\">Archives</A>"; } // END is the user in the archives hack |
