SEO MOD

[daGrevis]

Open file index.php
in line +/- 120, find this:

Code: Select all

'U_MARK_FORUMS'        => ($user->data['is_registered'] || $config['load_anon_lastread']) ? append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}index.$phpEx", 'mark=forums') : '',
 

replace with this:

Code: Select all

'U_MARK_FORUMS'        => ($user->data['is_registered'] || $config['load_anon_lastread']) ? '?mark=forums' : '', 

Thanks for the issues..

Well,.. the point is the mark all Forum is fixed.

Code: Select all

    'U_MARK_FORUMS'        => ($user->data['is_registered'] || $config['load_anon_lastread']) ? '?mark=forums' : '',
 

Then i gives me (image #1) and after i go to index, forums arent mark as read... ;(



Any ideas? Help!

I know this could be the worse option to fix the problem, but I really don't know how fix it properly. Anyways, this is my temporal fix:

Code: Select all

'U_MARK_FORUMS'		=> ($user->data['is_registered'] || $config['load_anon_lastread']) ? append_sid("http://yourdomain.com/index.php", 'hash=' . generate_link_hash('global') . '&mark=forums') : '',

If someone has a best way, please post it.

I'm using the NV advanced last topic titles MOD.

When I try to click on the title of the last post I get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /XXX/XXX/public_html/XXX/viewtopic.php on line 374

I have started to trap my 404 failures and have a few emails from Yahoo! that indicate something is wrong. Think it might be the SEO MOD. For instance, the following email came through after a 404 which I presume is Yahoo! trying to index my new site:

74.6.22.102 tried to load http://www.thewoodworkingsoftwarecompan ... -t11.html-

User Agent = Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Yahoo! Slurp; http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp)

The page this refers to is actually: http://www.thewoodworkingsoftwarecompan ... p?f=1&t=11.

Any ideas what is going wrong here please? the search is looking for "forum post title"-"post-number".html but this doesn't exist.

Thanks

Patrick

It might help newbies if there was a sticky at the top to show essential updates to this MOD. Reading through the 34 pages, it is hard to find which ones were fixed in the proper release. However, from issues with my own forums, I have identified the following as the main problems which need to be corrected once you install the MOD.

Is there a definitive way to determine whether or not this mod is working correctly, specifically, that search engines don't get upset?

A couple of notes:
1. I think topic is referred to twice.
2. Does the foreign characters version of clean_url (p4863705) supercede the clean_url mod earlier in the list (p6009335).
3. I am using subsilver2 and don't seem to have the js file indicated in p5784105.

Thanks for trying to sort this mod. Should I regret using it?

I'm getting 404 errors where it seems that spiders are looking for urls for articles in my forum with a hyphen appended, such as: site.com/forum/article-t5.html-. removing the extra hyphen makes the link OK. Have I made an error in an edit somewhere (where please?) or is there a bug I haven't corrected?

Running a sitemap generator and looking at a random forum post, I see an entry like this:

Code: Select all

<url>
  <loc>http://www.thewoodworkingsoftwarecompany.co.uk/forum/release-1-5-0-10-t14.html</loc>
  <priority>0.41</priority>
  <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
  <loc>http://www.thewoodworkingsoftwarecompany.co.uk/forum/release-1-5-0-10-t14.html-&view=print</loc>
  <priority>0.33</priority>
  <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
</url>
<url>
  <loc>http://www.thewoodworkingsoftwarecompany.co.uk/forum/release-1-5-0-10-t14.html-view=previous</loc>
  <priority>0.33</priority>
  <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
</url>
<url>
  <loc>http://www.thewoodworkingsoftwarecompany.co.uk/forum/release-1-5-0-10-t14.html-view=next</loc>
  <priority>0.33</priority>
  <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
</url>

I think that these are OK. While this is generated, I see a series of 404 errors. Is it reasonable to assume that the spider is collecting a url ending t14.html- with nothing else?

Looking at the output from a sitemap generator, I notice that for each forum article, 6 entries are created:

• url+tx.html
  url+px.html these two seem to be the same with only the t and p reference being changed (x is post number).
  url+print
  url+next
  url+previous
  url+tx.html - (that is with the additional space + hyphen. only know of this as trapped when spider hits my 404 page).

Help gratefully recieved!

Hello

I apologize first, I do not speak English very well, I'm Spanish.

I installed this mod and Essential Fixes.

I have this problem

[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions_seo.php on line 275: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /cache/tpl_prosilver_overall_header.html.php:2)

Sadly not many responses on this thread...but I shall try another question! Why would the SEO Mod provide entries containing the session id, sid, through append_seo_sid? Why is the sid useful in SEO lists - I'd assumed the opposite to be true and so this shouldn't be done?
