VBAdvanced & VBSeo

Hi everyone,
I am in the process of converting my front HTML index page to VBAdvanced, so I can finally get rid of the outdated frames.

www.mlptp.net

will be going to this..

Home#

VBAdvanced ( In root directory) will become the main index page, the sidebar navigation on there will also be integrated and common to the forums.

Im wondering if there is anything I change in the VBSeo settings, or the sitemap?

Many thanks

You can use our Custom Rewrite Rules for your vBA custom pages.

Re: Sitemap

For your existing URLs, add them to the extra-urls.txt in the vBSEO Sitemap directory and they will be included with the sitemap.

where is the extra URLs .txt in the sitemaps?

And is there a thread with instructions as to how I do the custom rewrite for the VBA main page. its only going to be used for the main index page and also a sidebar integrated into the forums.

Sorry but Im not that clear on what you mean....

I also read on vb.org that I have to change the htaccess file..... can you tell me what I have to change...

Many thanks

You can rewrite vBa CMPS URLs with Custom Rewrite Rules as described in rewrite root vba cmps pages

As for the sitemap, you can manually add new URLs by manually editing "vbseo_sitemap/extra-urls.txt" file on your server (add one URL per line). And since your front page is located in domain root and forum resides in a subfolder, you will have to "move sitemap to domain root" as described here: Sitemap:FAQ - VBSEO Wiki

Hello, thankyou for the reply

That other thread you link to, says I can use this:

'index\.php\?page=(\w+)' => 'page-$1.html'

Here is my HTAccess file...... can you tell me where in there I put that above line you suggested?...

It should be entered in vBSEO CP, Custom Rewrite Rules section.
