vBSEO Functions for Extensibility

Hey ,

es tut mir leid, dass es solange dauert. Ich habe es soweit fertig übersetzt und warte nur noch auf ein OK vom vBSEO Germany Team. Ich habe leider die Datei nicht hier, da ich momentan keinen Rechner habe.
Sie kommt, sobald ich eine Rückmeldung bekomme

Die deutsche Übersetzung ist nun verfügbar

A great one is the make_crawlable

PHP Code:

if(include_once($vbulletin->options['bburl'].'/includes/functions_vbseo.php'))
    $HTML_mailbody = make_crawlable($HTML_mailbody); 


As you can see, I am using it for a newsletter.

However - I need to have the full url in there. For the forum, I have the url's excluding the domain, but for the newsletter, I need the full url. Apart from doing some regex to add the domain, is there some code that I can use to temporarily set the variable for including the domain name????

Since the variable is a constant, I am not able to change it. The best I can do is temporaroly change the vbseocp options to have the domain in there.

Try this:

PHP Code:

define('VBSEO_USE_HOSTNAME_IN_URL',           1);
if(include_once($vbulletin->options['bburl'].'/includes/functions_vbseo.php'))
$HTML_mailbody = make_crawlable($HTML_mailbody); 


So, when config is included in functions_vbseo.php, the setting is already defined thus the new definition is ignored.

Of course! Thanks Juan.

Sometimes its good to have the other hat on and receive advice. Much appreciated.

You are welcome, Sir!

/ticker/ticker.php - $str contains html including <a href="/forums/showthread.php?t=xx">bla</a>

So I go:

PHP Code:

include_once '../forums/includes/functions_vbseo.php';
//is the following needed???
vbseo_get_options();
vbseo_prepare_seo_replace();
get_forum_info();

//create the string then ...
$str=make_crawlable($str); 


But it doesnt work
In the process of making the string, a variable contains a url. So I tried vbseo_any_url($url) and that didnt work either.

Seems like there is an issue with items being outside the forum file structure(?) as I successfully did the make_crawlable with the newsletter example.

Hello Michael,

do you call ticker script from browser or command line? Please try it with full URL including domain name (<a href="http://..")

A trick for young players! My url's in this instance did not have quote around them, so your script was not able to find the url's. I added the quotes, and presto!!!

Had me running around in circles.

Oh, now it's clear then

Btw, with vBSEO3.0.0+ you can use this:

PHP Code:

vbseo_startup(); 


instead of:

PHP Code:

vbseo_get_options();
vbseo_prepare_seo_replace();
get_forum_info(); 


I was directed to this thread because I implemented some custom template changes and vbSEO urls were not showing up. I don't think I was very clear in my original question, but that's because I didn't know any better . As it turns out, you cannot put php into templates. What I did discover, however, is that if you make the URL's in custom templates look like they do in the out-of-the-box templates, vbSEO will replace them automatically.

The following code was in my custom template, which is a legacy mod recently ported to 3.6:

Code:

$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?p=$post[postid]$thread[highlight]

I changed it to:

Code:

showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]

This is the format used in the out of the box template and returns.

One problem I am having is that

Code:

showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]?p=$post[postid]

does not get rewritten at all, although if you click on the link it gets redirected to the proper location. (vbSEO 3.0 RC3)

Any ideas?


following up here...
I went into the search results out of the box template, and found the following url:

Code:

showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]$post[highlight]#post$post[postid]

This one gets rewritten just fine as long as there are replies in a given thread. If there are no replies, it returns a non-rewritten url. It seems to work fine in the search page, just not in my custom template.
