    cmps question

    Hello,

    I had a question about vBadvanced cmps. I wondered how vBSEO works with cmps or if it even adds these pages. Does the news on my cmps home page get included?

    The reason I am asking is I have several cmps pages on my site & was about to add a new page with a very large amount of content.

    And if is not, is their anything I can to?


    Thanks, dreck

    I think I did this right?

    I have this in the custom rewrite rules:
    Code:
    // showgroup.php as forumleaders.html v.0.1 by the vBSEO Team ;)
    // Remove the comment below to enable.
    //'^showgroups.php$' => 'forumleaders.html'
    'index.php?page=(.+)' => 'index-$1.html'
    And I create a new .htaccess in "www/.htaccess":
    Code:
    RewriteEngine On
    
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !vb/
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ vb/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&vbseorelpath=../&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
    
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !vb/
    RewriteRule ^(.*.php)$ vb/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&vbseorelpath=../&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
    My forum is
    Code:
    http://thisdarncar.com/vb/index.php
    And cmps is
    Code:
    http://thisdarncar.com/index.php
    How do I know if it is working right?

    Thanks, dreck

    Yes, it's correct.

    It works correctly if your cmps URLs are looking like index-title.html instead of index.php?page=title.

    One more question.

    I notice the cmps doesn't show up in the archive pages across the bottom of page?
    Anyway to add this or will this be a big factor?

    Also, I have asked for help at vbadvanced.com about why cmps doesn't show up in the site map. Noone seems to want to answer. I've bumped the thread up several times.
    I just wanted to know if it should? Or if it has to be hacked? Or someone to say it can't be done?
    I realize this is not something I should ask here, but thought maybe someone might know.

    Thanks, dreck

    Yes, vBulletin's archive code should be hacked to display non-vBulletin URLs in the archive.
