Virtual HTML Display on vb 4.0.4

i tried implementing Virtual HTML Display on my forum and tried to see site for changes , but its not working , what maybe the reason is ?i dont even see Virtual HTML code in page source i even tried clearing cache, but still nothing , also i would like to know beside whats going on box what other places this should be used ?

In order to use it, you physically need to place the tags around the block of code you wish to virtualize.
(How To) Add Virtual HTML Display In Your Forum Template - Blogs - vBulletin SEO Forums

You can really use Virtual HTML display in many areas in your forum not only WGO box, I've just thinking now what's the other places that can used on it, You can use it also with "Posting Permissions" and many other areas but I don't remember them, I sure if you think more about Virtual HTML areas you will make a great work with it

I've setup a Welcome notice (as seen here) and it contains javascript for the ad so I cannot use the virtual HTML...

Is there a way (if not, a feature request!) to use the <!--VBSEO_VIRTUAL_HTML--> tags WITHOUT having to turn virtual HTML on for notices? This way I could wrap the notice HTML in the VH, but still have the google ad displaying.

virtual html is for static html only. javascript, etc will cause errors.

I understand this, and I can by pass this if in my notice I put the <!--VBSEO_VIRTUAL_HTML--> tags around my the html within my notice (not the javascript), but they only work if it's turned on for notices as a whole?

Look at the source of my notice on my site (mentioned above) and you will see what I mean.

AS you have a JS driven ad in there, you can't put that into the virtual html. The fact that it's in a notice template or not really has nothing to do with it.

Yeah what I'm saying is that the current docs specify:

Additionally, any template code placed between the following tags will also be rendered with Javascript and removed, allowing the flexibility to replace any part of the page (with low quality content or links) with a JS version to minimize SEO impact.

Whereas if you have chosen to put javascript in your notices it will crash as it is always applied to notices and not just <!--VBSEO_VIRTUAL_HTML--> tags which I have elsewhere.

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say.


Virtual html cannot contain JS. be it in a footer template, a postbit template, or in notices.

Ok ...

This is my notice:

HTML Code:

<div id="welcome-pane">
<div id="left-pane">
<script type="text/javascript">
GA_googleFillSlot("MyDellMini_MPU_Welcome");
</script>
</div>
<!--VBSEO_VIRTUAL_HTML-->

<!--/VBSEO_VIRTUAL_HTML-->
</div>

My problem is that the <!--/VBSEO_VIRTUAL_HTML--> tags wont work unless the virtual HTML feature is turned on. But if I turn it on... voila it screws up everything as there is javascript in my notice. I think the issue is that it always parses notices for virtual HTML when it is turned on, there needs to be an option to turn it on for notices, and for the tags separately.

Ok apologies it now works, I recently locked my config file and didn't notice the warning :/

Glad you got it sorted
