vbseo with vbanced Links Directory & Mary's Classifieds

Hi
I have vbseo, vbadvanced links directory, and ChrisTeris' Mary's classifieds.

1) Chris Teris says I need to have search engine friendly URL's turned off on his product if I / you are using vbseo, but as far as I can see, vbseo ignores ChrisTeris' Mary's classifieds right? So no problem having his SE friendly URL's turned on?

2) I downloaded the vbseo sitemap generator PLUS vbadvanced Links Directory extension, so vbseo now pings site map data for vbanced Links Directory. Are there any plans to add other (generic) add-ons onto this sitemap service? So that one day maybe it could include Mary's Classifieds?

Thanks / RSVP

Hello,

We officially don't support any 3rd party products. I would suggest using their advice as they know their product. If they have their own re-writer built in, it's usually better to use that.

All sitemap generator addon extras are customer-supplied. The API is available to query an db table and make a new file report for any mod, but again, these are not official products and you may need to hire a coder to make it for you if one is not available.

Hi Brian

OK, thanks, let me put it this way. In order for Mary's Classifieds to produce SE Friendly URL's, I need to add something to the htaccess file. Will this affect my vbseo instal?

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^Classifieds/([^/]*)/ ./classifieds.php?do=main&catid=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^For-Sale/([^/]*)/ ./classifieds.php?do=viewitem&itemid=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^Wanted/([^/]*)/ ./classifieds.php?do=viewitem&itemid=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^Auction/([^/]*)/ ./classifieds.php?do=viewitem&itemid=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^Seller/([^/]*)/ ./classifieds.php?do=browseuser&userid=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^Archives/([^/]*)/ ./classifieds.php?do=viewarchived&itemid=$1 [L,NC]

Hello Toddy ,

As we are not using that script , we can't say anything about it. It is best for you to receive answer from directly mod author. However you can try adding those lines after RewriteEngine On line on vBSEO .htaccess but again if you face an issue , it is best for you to contact mod author.

Hi Mert
Sorry, but that is a nonsense. I can not ask the author of the htaccess file if it will affect vbseo!!!! Only you can tell me that with respect.

As long as you don't have a forum (or any other url) that matches Classifieds/ or Archives/ etc, for example, it should work. Place them after the sitemap rule in the vbseo htaccess file.
