Zoints SEO

[djbaxter]

Looks better

To each his own... It just looks amateurish and gullible to me.

[superjeff]

It's not a bug, it's the vbulletin session ID.

How can i remove it?

[superjeff]

vBulletin by default removes session IDs for search engine spiders.

Tanks

[tsirung]

Installed, fatal error, had to re-install vbulletin...

[ahmad6]

please help me site map not work for me

[IMPAQ]

Fantastic product.

I guess my only beef, as with many modifications and skins here, please put the link in your copyright to open in a new window.

Otherwise, simply superb. :)

[jawatkin]

He's right, I'm on 3.6.5, actually and it's working fine on Apache. I just really would love some insight on making this work with lighttpd. The rewrite rules just "almost" get there for lighttpd, and I've got mod_magnet installed, just don't know anything about using LUA for rewrites. Anyone got anything for me? I'm thinking about lighttpd serving all static content and forwarding any PHP/HTML requests to an apache back end, but I'm getting lag on certain web apps that I use (and others are fine). They work fine with just lighttpd, but I can't get the rewrites to work! :(

For those wondering, I finally gave up on lighttpd's poor rewrite rules and mod_magnet+lua. I am running lighttpd up front to serve static content, with an apache 2.2 back end and it's really cut down on RAM usage (I tested with 250 concurrent and the new setup uses about 220MB of RAM under the load, and only spawns 11-12 httpd's, while a full apache2 setup uses about 320-330MB of RAM and spawns 25-30 httpd's!!)

Thanks for this mod... :)

Okay, apparently there's a known issue with the archive with Zoints SEO on v3.6.7. (Note, I don't know if this problem goes away with "rewrite" enabled, because I am NOT using rewrites).

But here's the problem, which I've seen others report. Unfortunately, I'm no programmer so don't even know where to begin to track down the source of the problem or how to fix it. If anybody has any clues or can help, let me know.

If I enable "Use archive as a Sitemap" - the archive works fine, but eventually links the threads to the original threads (rather than the simple view of the thread per my setting in vb options).

If I disable "use archive as a sitemap" - then it breaks - the threads link to 404 errors.

I have noticed this, though...

In the second scenario above, when it's broken, my links to the archive are currently showing as this:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Note- they are missing an "index.php?" in there, - they should be showing like THIS:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



If I manually input that into the address in the right spot, it works fine.

This is actually the best behavior from an SEO standpoint since it avoids "duplicate content". I have it set that way intentionally.

Oh - well there you go. ;)

I have VBseo installed, do i really need zoints seo for anything?

[djbaxter]

No. You shelled out $150 you didn't need to spend but that's now history. You don't need Zoints SEO.

The reverse is also true: if you already have Zoints SEO installed, you don't need vBSEO.

thats cool, I just wanted to make sure...I was looking for url conversion months ago, and i never could find anything that would do what VBseo did, so i bought it...no big deal.

Thanks

[karlm]

I did a quick search for anyone else encountering this, but couldn't find antyhing.

Anyhow, I tested this on a vb3.5.7pl1 and it works great - except my navbar & breadcrumbs vanish from sight... Any ideas?

[djbaxter]

I can tell you that it's not this add-on. It's some other issue.

Are you using a heavily customized forum style? Try viewing it in the default vB style and see if you still have the problem.

[karlm]

Thanks djbaxter... I realised what the problem was - as you said, nothing related to this. It was a previous effort at URL rewriting I'd made, and in doing so had to remove the $navbar myself as it caused problems with vbadvanced. Once i'd remembered this, I reset to original values and hey-presto! :)

[karlm]

To anyone using vbadvanced LINKS directory, simply add
define('VB_AREA', 'vBLinks');
to the (links) config file, at the bottom.
Similarly, anyone using Mary's vBNews, use:
define('VB_AREA', 'vBNews');
to the vbnews config file.

Works a treat.

Credit goes to rsj1 (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=130893), as reading a post she/he made gave me the idea for the vbnews.

[karlm]

This alsodoesn't work with digg.com when submitting url's - digg continually asks for the url again... if anyone has any ideas on how to fix that, i'd be very interested.

[ru55ian]

can anyone tell me how to uninstall it safely?

[djbaxter]

Admin CP | Products & Plug-ins | Manage Products

Scroll down to Zoints SEO in the right panel.

From the drop down box at the far right, select Uninstall.

Done.

[TheAlchemist]

hello,

it looks like zoints seo is causing problems to the javascript menus when pagination is on. basically, when a thread is broken into multiple pages (p2, p3 etc) and zoints seo is on, the javascript menus don't pop up. if I uninstall zoints seo, everything works fine.

anyone has any idea about this?

thanks in advance

That's not happening for me.

Suggestion: if you're using the Zoints SEO mod_rewrite feature, turn it off - unnecessary.

Easy solution: Stop using mod_rewrite.

1. You do NOT need it with vBulletin.

2. It really doesn't help with vBulletin.

3. It creates more problems for you, this being only one example.

hope you get my problem

[WritersBeat]

Hey, so if you had the url_rewriting on for a while, and then turn it off. It's obviously going to do something with the search engines right?

Is there anyway to put a 301 redirect from "something-1231.htlm" back to "showthread?t=1231" ?

Otherwise I'm going to be hit pretty hard in terms of search engines right?

Well, if I hit up :

http://www.writersbeat.com/obscene-absurdity-t10444.html

with this

RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]*-(f|all)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$ forumdisplay.php/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]*-(t|p)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$ showthread.php/$1 [QSA,L]

I get a no thread specified error.

If I remove the zoints rewrite rules, I get a 404...

Also, what should the zseo setting be set for 301 redirects? Should I turn that off?

thx, btw.

[nocte]

Well, if I hit up :

http://www.writersbeat.com/obscene-absurdity-t10444.html

I now get a 404, I guess that's better than a double page? :-p
sorry, try this one:


Code:

[WritersBeat]

Hmm, whatever I try it still goes to a 404 or "No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

o.k. another try:

---------------

[WritersBeat]

omg, you rule :)

So, that will take care of both of these rules?

RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]*-(f|all)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$ forumdisplay.php/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]*-(t|p)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$ showthread.php/$1 [QSA,L]

Like, what if there is a page extension, like 25?

ahh, yeah, like take this:
http://www.writersbeat.com/writing-markets-f59p3.html

That fails :( 404 error.

p.s really appreciate the help. I'll send paypal your way.

Forum url's are also 404'd

[nocte]

take this code:

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------


that should work for thread and forum views (with and without pagers). If you delete the "$"s the rules will work for URLs with (eg. highlight) parameters too. I don't know if there's a downside doing this - propably not.

You sir are amazing. Thank you.

Hi all, first I just wanted to say this is a great mod, one of the best!

I was having a look around and trying to figure out why google is finding pages on my forum the end in .html?p=xxx and I think its because on the member pages, under 'Last Post:' the link isn't 'zoints'd it still shows a link to showthread.php

Any way to fix this? Thanks!

[hiphopave]

What an excellent product. However, I am having one problem with my archive:

When trying to click on a thread, I get a 404 in the archive. This is because the URL is missing the index.php? right before the thread number (tXXX). Anyone have a fix?

[TruthElixirX]

Nevermind.

[pbmansion]

With my sitemap: http://www.pbmansion.com/forums/sitemap/

When you click a link it doesn't do anything. Why is this?

[Strafe]

Where is the template that I need to edit if I want to move the Zoints copyright link somewhere else? Because right now, it's too far away from my other copyright text (It's forced to be on the outside table). I want them to just all stay in one place.

Which template should I be looking at?

[vspro]

why i can't use this mod for utf-8 ?

[progaming]

[Tact7626]

ok. feel free to laugh at me if you like. :p (i don't mind)

i've read like nearly (by nearly i mean like the first 10 and last 10 pages) of the entire thread.

and...i'm being forced to research this because i think maybe possibly i need this. O_o but i just wanna clarify the purpose of an SEO in general using super lamens terms. :p if someone can confirm my basice "idea" of what this is for, then i can go on ahead and continue researching a bit more in depth.


here i go.

is the whole idea to an seo the idea that you sort of "individualize" specific forum THREADS to kinda be stand-alone "mini-sites" each with their own little meta tag/description and POSSIBLY (though highly debabtle and generally not recommended) to even have a simpler url?

because if that's the whole point then i PERSONALLY find this ...somewhat interesting. like..not amazing, yet not useless either.


the whole decay thread thing seems useless though. maybe someone could explain that a bit more. um, the custom welcome headers for diffrent threads seems useless too. i mean.. i guess it's like if your thinking "every little teeny bit helps" for increasing registrations i GUESS you might appreciate that. O-o

but i find it odd that the only saving point (i think) is the meta tags and yet the thread starter himself is all like "they're deprecated who on earth uses them blah blah" so then if they were really that "useless" what's left? the mod_rewrite? lol

so um..yah. if anything. perhaps my forum is still just way to small for it but i really don't know.


would it be correct for me to say that another major "selling" point to this is getting as much of your site out there in searches? is that it? cause i can't understand how this thing does that better than me not having this installed at all. is it helping my forum show up more, or simply increasing the CHANCES it'll show up more? or increasing the POSSIBLITY of having chance at it showing up more? O_o

yah i'm lost i think. lol

[Loco.M]

why would you want to show the archived threads ?

[brfrankl]

so google and such can SEE everything in the forum. without it, all google sees is the forum and subforum, but not the thread.

Also, so I can read the threads via my motoQ without all the graphics...

Yes. In Admin CP | Zoints SEO options:

1. Set Rewrite /archive/ to /sitemap/ to "No"

2. Set Use Archive as Sitemap to "Yes"

3. Set Use Zoints Archive Navigation? to "No"

In Admin CP | vBulletin Options | Search Engine Friendly Archive:

1. Set Display Simple View of Threads to "No"


These settings work fine in every version from 3.6.4 to 3.6.8 (disclaimer - I don't use and don't recommend mod_rewrite in Zoints SEO or any other SEO add-on).

I found a bug. With this product installed, administrators can no longer password protect individual forums. I disabled all of my products except this one and users were not allowed to login to password protected forums. As soon as I enabled this product they were able to login. I've also tested this with all my products enabled and this one disabled; members can access password protected forums as long as this product is disabled.

This means the installation of this particular product disables built-in vBulletin security features. Looks like we need an update!

Unless there is a specific option in the panel that needs to be focused on, I'm assuming the product as a whole disables the security.

Hi , masters :)

At first I had installed Zoint SEO to my old domain , like sitename1.com and it works perfect

But then our old domain was closed because of some reasons so we moved to the new domain , like sitename2.com.And ı start to reinstall all template modifications and hacks.

İn addition to this , ı tried to install Zoint SEO to our new domain.I got phases step 1 step.And soon ı got a problem about .htaccess file

When ı form new .htaccess file and upload on root of my forum , it works but images may be seen like "X" and when ı want to get into a forum , it guides or anonymizes old domain.Most of things on my forum anonymize to old domain

So how can ı change this for my new domain ? How can ı solve this problem ?? I really need this for my new domain

I wish you could mean what ı want to say :)

From now , thanks for everythings

I have the same problem i really don't know how to fix that

Just turn off the "Rewrite URLs" option (mod_rewrite). vBulletin doesn't need it. The valuable portions of Zoints SEO are in the other features.

Can you make this for version 3.6.8?

The current version works in 3.6.8.

[McMendo]

It's too bad that it redirects to an infinite loop when cookies are not enabled in the browser. Though cookies are enabled by default in all browsers, there aren't statistics of the percentage of www users who may have them disabled.

Plus, forums are rewritten as html files, not directories.

I've removed ZSEO and will stick to VbSEO. But thank you for sharing it anyway.

[donnie_ogm]

very very nice mod! it works fine on 3.6.8 :D

I hope it will make my site love by the search engine!

I have only a question for the community... my sitemap is strange (LINK (http://www.ogmdevelopment.com/forum/sitemap/))... I say this cause when you click, after have choosen the forum and the subforum, on a link of a post (correctly rewrited) you are faced to the page with the full graphic content instead of the page with reduced content.
It's only my problem?... maybe a wrong set in my configuration?

suggestions are welcome... ;)

[ballpnet]

Greetings,

I'm testing this on 3.6.8 ... everything seems to work well(using url rewrite without mod_rewrite). However, my archives seem to be giving me some issues. I've gone through most of this thread and have set my options as recommended by the following post:

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=1341349&postcount=566

If I turn off url rewrites, then the archives seem to work as usual. If I turn them on(once again not using mod_rewrite) I cannot access any of the threads. I click on a forum and nothing happens! Anyone else experiencing this issue? Any work arounds for this yet?

[dennisuello]

I have mod_rewrite enabled and appropriate option selected in settings.

How do I change the a specific forum url from http://www.reno4x4.com/forum/mountain-biking-f64.html
to http://www.reno4x4.com/forum/Mountain-Biking/?

I assume I need to change something in the .htaccess?

[sweede]

Is there something that i need to enable / do to have the SEO changed URLs wrapped in vbAdvanced also ?
http://dramaloot.com/forum.php works fine

Clicking on a link takes me to
http://dramaloot.com/news-f31.html?f=31 (note the ?f=31 )
http://dramaloot.com/illidian-down-t2071.html
Neither are wrapped in vbAdvanced

(Note that the forums above do not have SEO Enabled until this matter is fixed).


Thanks

[expatdirectory]

Uploaded, looks good but

when I click on the sitemap, it only display the top forum, when I click on this I get a 404 error. This may be down to regeneration so I will check back later.

Also, the sitemap shows private hidden forums... Not always the best idea :rolleyes:

[yathyo]

If you are not logged in you will not see this forums

[expatdirectory]

If you are not logged in you will not see this forums

That was the first thing I checked. Even logged out it was showing my private forums.

I have hidden them until I can work out the problem.

I still cant get the site map to work properly though, generates a 404 whenever your click on a link.

my sitemap is here (http://forums.theexpatdirectory.com/sitemap/index.php)if you want to have a look.

I am wondering whether I have a bad install.

Has anyone tried with vb3.6.8?

[djbaxter]

1. Don't use mod_rewrite. You don't need it. It puts an extra load on your server and provides no SEO benefits whatsoever.

2. Don't use the archive as a sitemap. Set it so that the links in the archive lead back to the original posts.

3. It works fine on 3.6.8.

vBulletin 3.6.8 (patch 2)
Zoints SEO 2.2.2

It sounds like others are having the same problem as me:
1) Cannot get rid of index.php with or without mod_rewrite
2) Archive/sitemap gives "No input file specified" if you just hit /archive/ or /sitemap/
3) If you go to /archive/index.php or /sitemap/index.php you get the main forum list, but the links just regenerate the same page.

Anyone making progress on this?

I'd love to help fix it, but I just installed everything and have never seen it working properly. Not sure where/when the problem was introduced.

Ok, so I want to drive more traffic to my site. I'm currently using vbSEO and the vbSEO sitemap generator. I haven't seen any marked difference. Most of my traffic comes from word of mouth through the channels I'm involved in hockey fights.

So the big question. Do I need to uninstall vbseo and it's accompanying plugins in order to use this? Since I'm not super advanced, can I just set the setting exactly how they are set in these screenshots? I really really really want to drive more traffic. Thanks

Oh, I highly doubt it. I'm pretty sure vBSEO paid good money to have work on this hack halted.

Still, doesn't mean people can't take the initiative and make this compatible with 3.7. We can't afford vBSEO right now, because it's just outlandishly priced, but I would gladly donate what we have to Zoints or whomever if they released a new version of this.

I do agree with you on the price of VbSEO. It is so silly to charge for a module almost as same price as the main app(vBulletin)
I had to buy one license of vbSEO for one of my forum site after not being able to find something for v3.7.

But I can not buy the second one for my second forum site. I do regret that I chose vbulletin for my second forum site.. Why do not vBulletin has a feature like that almost all web apps(commercial/open source) out there comes with SEO features..

Hello,

very fine Add-on!
I just got installed and it works. But now I got a little problem with my Vbadvanced cmps.
On forumhome and cmps_index everything looks fine, but on forumdisplay and showthread the cmps sidebar does not appear.
When I set the zoints seo configuration on "Do not rewrite URLs" the sidebar will be shown.
And my archive doesn't show any postings, just the topics until I deactivate the whole Add-on zoints seo.
I'm using vb 3.6.10 and latest version of zoints seo 2.2.2

right, just wondering if there is a way to exclude a php file from zoints url rewrite rules... lm not using the htaccess method, but its interfering with a the 3.7 tags system (yeah l know this is a 3.6 mod) basically l narrowed the conflict down to the url rewriting and would like to find a way to exclude the whole internal vbulletin tagging system from the rewrite rules as its causing issues with links to threads on the search page linking everything back to the forums index rather than threads.

Indeed so. It converts URLs to the domain top level as oppose the link to the thread. The only way to view the thread is to click the last post icon...

Hi guys,

First of all, i installed your seo on my last forum and it was super! Unfortunatly this time i seem to be having a problem. When i installed zoints SEO and turned it on, i noticed all of my images were missing and that none on my urls worked.

After looking into it i found out it was missing the forum directory in each url and so it wasnt finding the images / going to the forum or thread, for example it would go to this url:

http://www.myforum.com/forumdisplay....stions-10.html

But the forum isnt in the root, its in the forums folder so it should be this:

http://www.myforum.com/forums/forumd...stions-10.html

If i add the forum directory to the url it works perfectly, but i can only do that manually. How can i tell zoints SEO that my forum isnt root its in the forums folder and that it needs to be adding /forums to each url it optimises. Also, when doing the mod rewrite, do i add the lines to the htaccess in my forums folder or the one in my websites root?

Many thanks for any help you can give!

Ok, I (hey, I was just starting out) installed this with the rewrite option, not knowing any better... Fast forward a year and a half and I've got almost 9 million posts.... But in Google? 70,000 pages.... I'd really like to switch back to standard vbulletin URLs but my question is... how?

Obviously, my links are in the http://www.myforum.com/forum/thread-name-t127521.html format in Google... If I disable the rewriting, the links won't go where they are supposed to... Is there a way to "reverse rewrite"? So that, when it comes in, it's rewritten properly back into the vB default URL format?

any chance that this will work with vbadvanced any time soon ?

NOPE. not unless some coder wants to put some time into enhancing this script.
People do not seem to understand that zoints does not support this script, and unless
they state otherwise, there will be not future updates. This is just another deathrow, deadbeat hack waiting to die out, so far, I see no future for this script...

I do know if anyone put the effort to make a real SEO script and charged less then
VBseo, then they would make a bit of money, thus far, I think VBSEO rocks as their
is no competition...it might cost, but at least they have support for a real script.

vBSEO is snake oil. It does some stuff, which can mostly be handled by free plugins. It is overpriced, and its questionable marketing would be regarded as spam if you got it via email. How many of you have gotten questionable offers for SEO enhancement, if you only pay a monthly fee? Well, paying nearly the cost of a full vBulletin license will not get you magic, but enrich the people who developed the program.

Yes, Zoints SEO is not being developed, but TfSEO is.

yeah it does look that way its a shame because i use zoints seo and it does work really well! all but perfect really but if vbseo was cheaper i would have thought about paying for it! i might play around with this and see what i can do ill contact soints and ask if i can play with it and maybe ill be able to make a newer version!

is there any sitemap generator for this?

No, but you can use vBSEO Site Map Generator (free add-on here) which works just fine with Zoints up to the latest 3.7x version.

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.
