vBSEO Functions for Extensibility

**echamberlain** · 02-12-2007 12:45 PM

So everything in <body></body> must go through make_crawlable?

ob_start('make_crawlable') seems to be a quick and easy way to add vBSEO to third party application, are there any performance downsides to doing this over updating each line of output code?

From the performance point of view it's better to pass the whole content to make_crawlable via a single function call.

Ok, now I get some strange behavior.

The forum is installed in the root and on my homepage (http://mydomain.com/) the links display with the rewritten urls.

My CRR is

'z/index\.php\?z-profile=(.+)$' => 'z/$1/'

But when I am on http://mydomain.com/z/Eric/ or http://mydomain.com/z/index.php?z-profile=Eric (the CRR doesn't redirect the page), the CRR doesn't work and all the links appear like http://mydomain.com/z/index.php?z-profile=Eric

http://mydomain.com/z/Eric/ has the vBSEO copyright at the bottom and the other links in the header and footer rewrite, so I assume vBSEO is parsing the page.

Why isn't the CRR working? Does it have anything to do with z being a real directory?

**Oleg Ignatiuk** · 02-13-2007 03:37 PM

Perhaps the links on the z/ pages are included like 'index\.php\?z-profile=X', not 'z/index\.php\?z-profile=X' ?

**echamberlain** · 02-13-2007 03:50 PM

Dropping the z from both sizes of the CRR has the same rewrite behavior as above, except it also breaks the redirect. z/Eric/ stops working.

I've also tried using 'index\.php\?z-profile=(.+)$' => '/members/$1/' and the rewrites on the root turn into /z//members/X/ and on t z/index.php?z-profile=X page, the URLs are not rewritten.

Any other ideas?

To simplify testing, I have created two test.php files with the following code:

PHP Code:

 <?php
include_once '/home/xxx/html/includes/functions_vbseo.php';
vbseo_startup();
ob_start('make_crawlable');
?>
<a href="http://mydomain.com/z/index.php?z-profile=Eric">Eric Profile</a><br />

I put one file in the root / and one in the /z directory and then enter each URL in my browser. The CRR 'z/index\.php\?z-profile=(.+)$' => 'z/$1/' works in the root test.php and does not work in the z directory test.php.

It works for me (in z/ subfolder). Please let me know an example URL so that I can check this.

Hi!

I was wondering how to convert the post urls like showthread.php?p=123.

Best Regards,
Jan Jaap

**Oleg Ignatiuk** · 02-19-2007 04:20 PM

Something like that should work:

PHP Code:

 $threadurl_spec = vbseo_thread_url_row_spec(
array(
'threadid'=>xx,
'forumid'=>xx,
'title'=>xx,
'postid'=>xx
)
, VBSEO_URL_THREAD_GOTOPOST);

Hi!

I managed to do it like this:

PHP Code:

 $perpage = sanitize_maxposts(0);
 $getpagenum = $vbulletin->db->query_first(&quot;
  SELECT COUNT(*) AS posts
  FROM `&quot; . TABLE_PREFIX . &quot;post` AS post
  WHERE threadid = &quot;.$threadinfo[&quot;threadid&quot;].&quot; AND visible = 1
  AND dateline <= &quot;.$threadinfo[&quot;lastpost&quot;].&quot;
 &quot;);
 $pagenumber = ceil($getpagenum['posts'] / $perpage);
 $threadurl = $vbulletin->options[&quot;bburl&quot;].'/'.vbseo_thread_url_row($threadinfo, $pagenumber).'#post'.$threadinfo[&quot;lastpostid&quot;];

Which option would be faster?

Best Regards,
Jan Jaap

There is no difference from performance point of view.

Hi,

This is driving me crazy. I have been working on this for over an hour and getting nowhere. I hope one of you can help me.

I am trying to get the last 10 threads from forum ID 71, in descending order from most recent.

Currently, I use this code:

PHP Code:

         $newsquery = $DB_site->query("
                SELECT firstpostid, 1thread.threadid, title, avatar, summary
                FROM 1thread, fp_news_info
                WHERE 1thread.threadid = fp_news_info.threadid AND forumid=71
                ORDER BY threadid DESC
                LIMIT 10
        ");

        $counter = 0;
        while($newsresult = $DB_site->fetch_array($newsquery))
        {
                $postquery = $DB_site->query("
                        SELECT title, pagetext
                        FROM 1post
                        WHERE postid=".$newsresult["firstpostid"]."
        ");

        $postresult = $DB_site->fetch_array($postquery);
        printf("
         <a href=\"/showthread.php?threadid=%s\"><img src=\"$newsresult[avatar]\" class=\"avatar\" alt=\"%s\" /></a>
         <h1><a href=\"/showthread.php?threadid=%s\">%s</a></h1>
         <p>$newsresult[summary] <a href=\"/showthread.php?threadid=%s\" class=\"more\">more</a></p>
        </div>", $newsresult["threadid"], $postresult["title"], $newsresult["threadid"], $postresult["title"], $newsresult["threadid"]);
                        $counter++;
                }

I have tried replacing "/showthread.php?threadid=%s" with other code, but nothing is working for me.

I have added

PHP Code:

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

and

PHP Code:

 include_once 'includes/functions_vbseo.php';

at the top of the file. I have also tried various renditions of codes from post 1 in this thread. Man am I lost. :(

Any help would be great! Thanks!

What do I need to change to make the URLs vbseo'd?

**Oleg Ignatiuk** · 03-05-2007 06:38 PM

Hello,

the following should work:

PHP Code:

   include_once 'includes/functions_vbseo.php';  
vbseo_startup();
$newsquery = $DB_site->query("
                SELECT firstpostid, 1thread.threadid, title, avatar, summary, forumid
                FROM 1thread, fp_news_info
                WHERE 1thread.threadid = fp_news_info.threadid AND forumid=71
                ORDER BY threadid DESC
                LIMIT 10
        ");

        $counter = 0;
        while($newsresult = $DB_site->fetch_array($newsquery))
        {
                $postquery = $DB_site->query("
                        SELECT title, pagetext
                        FROM 1post
                        WHERE postid=".$newsresult["firstpostid"]."
        ");

        $postresult = $DB_site->fetch_array($postquery);
$threadurl = vbseo_thread_url_row($newsresult);
        printf("
         <a href=\"%s\"><img src=\"$newsresult[avatar]\" class=\"avatar\" alt=\"%s\" /></a>
         <h1><a href=\"%s\">%s</a></h1>
         <p>$newsresult[summary] <a href=\"%s\" class=\"more\">more</a></p>
        </div>", $threadurl, $postresult["title"], $threadurl, $postresult["title"], $threadurl);
                        $counter++;
                }
