SEO

Is there anyway that I can display latest posts on my external homepage (non-vb page) with vb-seo urls?

There was a small javascript in vbulletin.com for one without seo-friendly urls. I would like one with an output similar to:

<ul>
<li><a href="seo-friendly-url.html">Topic 1 </a></li>
<li><a href="seo-friendly-url.html">Topic 1 </a></li>
<li><a href="seo-friendly-url.html">Topic 1 </a></li>
</ul>

no one?

Hello,

you can use vBSEO Functions for Extensibility for that (PHP knowledge is required).

I don't think I can turn it into something I can use. This is a very simple thing, I don't understand how noone has ever done it

hmmm I need this one also.

your best bet is to query it directly. Using rss for things like this is generally not a good idea.


One of the easiest things to do is to make a vb page which only exports those latest link items, and then include that script in your index/etc page with include(/file.php);

Ie, if you went to site.com/forums/file.php, all you would see is your latest topics.


I built something similar which runs via a cron task every 15 min, and uses the vb datastore for caching.

I guess thats too much stuff just to get the latest 10 posts

it's an hour of work tops for anyone familair with vbulletin.

i'll do it for $50 and can have it for you by monday if you're interested.

Well I am very interested, but not sure about the cron job. Wasn't there something like this built into the vb?

The cron saves load on your server. It will only run once per X min instead of every page load.

It can certainly be done without and load real-time everytime if you wish.
