Looking to buy asap

Yes, it is a manual effort. You have to type the article, so you are right there to enter the keywords anyway. Users will not be creating articles, so its more reliable to trust the author's words than automated strings.

Hi,

I've now got vbseo installed and am getting familar with the interface.

On my old site the URL's would be something like:

http://www.eteknix.com/reviews/proce...5-video-review

I want to keep as close as i can with this being consistant. At the moment the url's are showing as eTeknix.com Forums

I want to ditch the /content/ part and have the section name in there instead.

Also, how would i set up so that my already indexed pages on search engines point to the new pages so if someone goes to http://www.eteknix.com/reviews/proce...5-video-review it goes to that article on the new cms?

I did open a support ticket as critical as my site is down until this gets sorted but no reply as of yet :(

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Andy,

To make this change, log into your vbseocp, go to URL Rewrite Settings, then CMS URLs, then Advanced, then look for CMS Entry.

Either change it to one of the presets that is there, or choose a custom rewrite that includes the [section_id].

Does it have to include the section_id?

I've currently got it so it just includes the section_title is that ok?

Also, do pages need to have a entry_id as i'd rather just have them as domain.com/pagename

Thanks,

Andy

You can omit the id variable if you really want to, but it's advisable to use it, as having the id (the unique identifier for that specific resource) present allows easy redirects later.

When you say 'pages', do you mean 'If I create a Static HTML page for my CMS, can I omit the id variable?' or do you mean CMS entries/articles overall?

I would not advise omitting the id for articles, as that could cause issues if an Article was given the title of an existing folder/article/resource. If it was just the static HTML pages, I imagine you would have few of those, enough to ensure you used unique titles.

ID's are required for articles.

I've replied to your ticket.

At the moment a typical article is:

Code:

http://www.eteknix.com/press-releases/evga-announces-x58-classified3-motherboard-212/

As you can see, it features the id at the end but not on the section title.

At the moment a typical forum thread is:

Code:

http://www.eteknix.com/forum/vbcms-comments/evga-announces-x58-classified3-motherboard-2448/

As you can see, it features the id at the end but not on the section/forum category title.

Is this ok to do it like that? If i had my way, i'd ditch the id's completely, but i'm told i can't do that.

Another thing, when i type a URL it adds the title to external links, but how do i get it to do this for links that were already on my forum, as it only does it for NEW links.

Thanks,

Andy

forums/sections/categories don't need ID's, as they are assumed to be unique. The actual article/thread however require IDs.
