vBSEO Functions for Extensibility

Is there a way to get the original link back?

In example:

www.mydomain.tld/forum/thread-title.html

to

www.mydomain.tld/forum/showthread.php?id=???

I need it for two extensions, who both work with the original thread and post id.

Hmm, it doesn't work as i thought.

For testing, i included it as a plugin at the global_complete hook.

I placed the $vbseo_arr[thread_id] but it seems to be empty all the time.

Here's my code:

Code:

Plugin: vBSEO Test
Hook: global_complete
Code:

$link = 'http://www.my-domain.com/forum/board-support/1-first-thread.html';
$container = vbseo_check_url('VBSEO_URL_THREAD', $link);

In the navbar Template (just for testing) i put this code:

Code:

<hr />
SEO: $container[thread_id]
<hr />

Thanks in advance for your help!

Nope, nothing! Doesn't work!

I guess I'm missing something but cannot figure out what

$seo_txt only outputs the letter 'a' from $video[description]);

Code:

include_once 'includes/functions_vbseo.php';
vbseo_startup(); 
$seo_txt = vbseo_filter_text($video[description]);

That did work, it was just a typo

the output however had hyphen's and removed short words, is that the way it works with description/text?

example:

"All the silly things that happen in the football field"
output
"all-silly-things-happen-football-field"

That is our stopwords removal feature.

Thanks Joe,

I would like to get a word limited pagetext output like you have at the top of threads, is that possible with something else?

It's ok, did it with php

Code:

if ( strlen( $seo_txt) > 25 ) { 
   $seo_txt = explode( ' ',$seo_txt); 
   $seo_txt = array_slice( $seo_txt, 0, 25 ); 
   $seo_txt = implode( ' ', $seo_txt) . '...'; 
}

What do you think is a good word count for meta description?

how to use it with java script code than does not rewrite the links any hel pls:

Code:

<!--
for (var x in threads)
{
document.writeln("&raquo;&nbsp<a href=\"showthread.php?t="+threads[x].threadid+"\">"+threads[x].title+"</a><br />(by: "+threads[x].poster+")<br /><br />");
}
//-->
