vBSEO and TraceWatch-how?

T2DMan · #1 11-11-2005, 07:54 PM

Hi I have just installed a Tracewatch package with a forum site. But the TraceWatch is showing showthread/forumdisplay.

Does anyone have the php that will change the $_SERVER etc urls to the rewritten urls so that Tracewatch will show the rewritten url's.

I have tried, but have not got it to work yet.

This may help?

Michael,

I assume the problem is that it doesn't show SEO urls in the stats.

This is a required step for vBSEO to restore original $_SERVER state (with dynamic urls) before passing action to vB code to ensure it works correctly.

As far as I see, TraceWatch works by embedding the statistic script call into php code, right? If so, try to add it to "includes/config_vbseo.php" - this file is unencrypted (and so can be modified) AND is included *before* $_SERVER is modified.

The TraceWatch looks interesting btw

I need it with the rewritten url's, so I am trying to find out which server variables twatch uses, and so which to change to the url's like per the Link Vault method.

PHP Code:

  $SaveRequestUri=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; 
 $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']=$_SERVER['VBSEO_URI'];

Yes, that should work too. However TraceWatch's source code is obfuscated and not readable, so it would be hard to find this out, I believe.

Michael,

have you found a workaround to get TraceWatch working with displaying vBSEO URLs?

I have emailed the TraceWatch people, and am waiting for a reply. I have tried with a number of the possible variables, but so far have not struck gold. Using the above method, it should be easy, there cant be too many ways for them to determine the url.

But certainly with the obviscated code, ... and it didn't decypher that fast, so I sent the email rather than spending the time to decypher.

That program is insane! I see from the demo that it`s all that I wanted + very intuitive, so thanks for bringing it up here.

For your problem, if not solved. Why not use the javascript tracker that comes with it, you can generate the code here : http://www.tracewatch.com/doc/code.php

I have been using tracewatch for a long time and love it. Not sure what the problem is, it picks up on the rewritten URLS perfectly for me.
