Zoints Tags and VBSEO help?

madkad · #1 07-05-2007, 04:39 PM

I know that Zoints have a forum I posted this

Quote:

Hi ok I have a little problem
HTML
thats where I have been testing the tags, but when I do a tag with
mod_rewrite
selected as on, I get the correct url style but page not found, I hove followed this thread Zoints Network - View Single Post - Tags and VBSEO URLs?
but still no luck, I was going to turn the mod_rewrite off but then really there would be no point in having it on for SEO.
Can any one please help me :(

But wow they are slow with any help on the matter, and reall could do with sorting it out so that the urls are right

Does any one have any info that can help me with this matter

Hi Karl,

Can you explain the error you are receiving in more detail please?

Yer np fast here

this is for a tag that is called html

www.mkpitstop.co.uk/forum/tags/html/

it should go to the page for the tag search, but its just going to a page not found :(

ace:

if you click the link in the tags box at the bottom, it brings you to:
http://www.mkpitstop.co.uk/forum/tags/html/

which 404's

I'm guessing this is un-related to vbseo, and is an issue with the tags module itself.

in your tags directory, be sure you have the following in your htacccess

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.+)/([0-9]+)/$ index.php?tag=$1&page=$2 [NC,QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ index.php?tag=$1 [NC,QSA,L]

and that the mod_rewrite setting is enabled in the tags CP in the ACP.

and then, make sure you add the new plugin as described here:
Zoints Network - View Single Post - Tags and VBSEO URLs?

tried and check all that all was all ready done including the plugin

if I change the url to show like

http://www.mkpitstop.co.uk/forum/tags/index.php/html/

witch is the vB Archive method it works as it should, but I dont want my links like that as there wouldnt be much point.

is there a way to change the index.php bit into a word using the CCR in VBSEO, so that it just sorts the problem out?

Karl,

Does the issue continue if you disable vBSEO?

If so, it's a Zoints Tags issue, try Brian's post above.

(Your Featured Wesites box has a word mis-spelled.

)

I have done it again, I am making a right fool of my self on this forum

Can I have dumbo member of the month award

I added

Code:

RewriteBase /forum/tags

to my .htaccess file for Zoints and it worked, I relised it might need it as all my other files have when doing re-writes, well we all leanr by our mistakes and the best thing is its working lol

Thanks people
