SEO

[Helter]

Here is an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) mod that is compatible with IM1.4.x
Due to the many requests for this, I have been looking for a basic SEO mod that is easy to install and compatible with CH. I found and edited one that may suit your needs. As always, please backup all files to be modified before adding this mod.

*I have also included premodified files - these are not necessary if you do the file edits yourself

*EDIT* for the first two users who dl'd this. there is an error in includes/page_header. You will notice this on logout. I have fixed the premodded files. If you used the file edits, you will be unaffected

Nice one, and I will get into this.
But, this one only has affect on the forum, and postings. How about the album mod, Knowledgebase, statistics and other mods. Is it hard to use this MOD for the other Mods?

[Helter]

i have not looked into expanding the mod to other areas. The only one im aware of that currently works for fap is here
http://downloads.phpbb-seo.com/smartor- ... ap-30.html
this mod a different mod, but might be usefull for comparison

Has anyone tried that SEO stuff? I tried to install it, but half of the modifications are done in parts of the files that are commented! There must be a problem here...

since i havn't added any mods to my site except the interga mod i just used your premoded files which seems to be fine but i think theres a site structure problem when i click on a topic on the forums i get a file not found

http://www.dropstarz.com/index.php if you can take a look please it seems to be the only problem.

It looks like your SEO Mod is not working correct.

Either, you did the edits, and forgot something. Or if you only downloaded the IntegraMOD pack over here, and installed it, there maybe a part of code which is missing.

I do not know if the SEO was already added to the code.

[dropstarz]

i never moded the code i just used the premoded files and uploaded them <img>

I would say that the error is in the .htaccess file... Your links are changed properly, for example, first forum (Introductions), the link to the last post is http://www.dropstarz.com/whats-good-t3.html#16

If you click on it, you get

The requested URL /dropstarz/viewtopic.php was not found on this server.

Shouldn't that link be /viewtopic.php, in the root directory? Do you use a subfolder for your forum or is it in the root of your site??

[dropstarz]

i have my site in a sub folder on my web host, because i also have another site hosted there. I bought premium hosting so i can develop mulitple sites. so all my files are in a folder called dropstarz

[sanji]

Can you post - or send me by pm - the part of the htaccess file which you added for this SEO?

so all my files are in a folder called dropstarz

Are you really sure?

Google gives a typical link on your site as : http://www.dropstarz.com/viewtopic.php?t=8

So I would guess that the viewtopic.php file should be in the root, not in a "dropstarz" folder.

Indeed, http://www.dropstarz.com/viewtopic.php?t=8 exists (but redirect makes it invalid) while http://www.dropstarz.com/dropstarz/viewtopic.php?t=8 does not exist at all...

Can you try to change your htaccess file to have all links like :

Code: Select all

 RewriteRule (.*) viewforum.php?f=%2&  

to become (with http]  RewriteRule (.*) http://www.dropstarz.com/viewforum.php?f=%2&  [/code]

yea iam 100 percent positive all my files are in the folder called dropstarz

[sanji]

Sorry, then, I am running out of ideas...

Hopefully somebody else will have a better guess.
