Getting LinkVault to work with vBSEO

Hi

First of all:

What is LinkVault:

Link Vault is made up of a large group of quality websites. Each new member must bring to the network at least one high quality website and make available a few links slots for existing members. In return you receive 'Vaultage' which you use to receive links from the other members websites which is in effect a link exchange.

Each website added to the network will be vetted by a person before any links are placed to ensure it meets our strict quality guidelines. Should you wish to use your Vaultage quota to provide text link adverts to a website not in the system, then this website will also need to pass the vetting.

Link Vault is completely free and the set up is straightforward, flexible and easily customized. All the links are static, unless you delete them or the site is removed. You also have full control over the number of text links you receive.

Getting LinkVault to work with vBSEO enhanced vBulletin Forums

I stumbled upon problems after trying to use linkvault on my vbulletin forum with vbseo installed, I managed to get it to work with the help of you guys here and T2DMan from New Zealand Restaurants Guide & Food Reviews-Forum-Time2Dine NZ.

I thought I'd share the solution with you.

In your vBSEO config file config_vbseo.php find:

Code:

define('VBSEO_ALLOW_REL_NOVBSEO',   0);

and replace it with:

Code:

define('VBSEO_ALLOW_REL_NOVBSEO',   1);

in the linkvault php file find:

Code:

return $OutputThis;

and add above:

Code:

$OutputThis = str_replace('<a ', '<a rel="novbseo" ', $OutputThis);

then go to your vBulletin ACP > Add-ons & Plug-ins > manage plug-ins

and edit vBSEO Global Hook

replace

Code:

if(@include_once(($GLOBALS['vbpath']?$GLOBALS['vbpath'].'/includes':dirname(__FILE__)).'/functions_vbseo.php'))
    $output = make_crawlable($output);

with

Code:

if(@include_once(($GLOBALS['vbpath']?$GLOBALS['vbpath'].'/includes':dirname(__FILE__)).'/functions_vbseo.php'))
    $output = make_crawlable($output);
$output=str_replace("rel=\"novbseo\" ","",$output);

click save

Now everything is working like a charm
