Sorry, I don't understand Turk - please explain how to set it up in English. Thank you.

Hello Tomasz,

basically, you should just manually modify your config_vbseo.php file, filling the $vbseo_custom_char_replacement array with replacement values. Make sure that original characters are specified in exactly the same encoding as it's used at forums.
An example replacement set for polish language is:

PHP Code:

     $vbseo_custom_char_replacement = array(
 '¡' => 'a',
'±' => 'a',
'Æ' => 'c',
'æ' => 'c',
'Ê' => 'e',
'ê' => 'e',
'£' => 'l',
'³' => 'l',
'Ñ' => 'n',
'ñ' => 'n',
'¦' => 's',
'¶' => 's',
'¬' => 'z',
'¼' => 'z',
'¯' => 'z',
'¿' => 'z' ); 


If you have a problem with replacements, please post (or PM me) your current $vbseo_custom_char_replacement array and an example link at your forums with character replaced incorrectly.

Here is my addition to the config_vbseo.php:

PHP Code:

$vbseo_custom_char_replacement = array(
'ą' => 'a',
'Ą' => 'A',
'ć' => 'c',
'Ć' => 'C',
'ę' => 'e',
'Ę' => 'E',
'ł' => 'l',
'Ł' => 'L',
'ń' => 'n',
'Ń' => 'N',
'ó' => 'o',
'Ó' => 'O',
'ż' => 'z',
'Ż' => 'Z',
'ź' => 'z',
'Ź' => 'Z'); 


Encoding: iso-8859-2, polish language.
Behaviour: ż is exchanged to %BF (not 'z')

Thank you, Tomasz!


Update: $vbseo_custom_char_replacement array definition should replace the default text in config_vbseo.php file, i.e.:
FIND:

PHP Code:

$vbseo_custom_char_replacement = array(
); 


REPLACE WITH:

PHP Code:

$vbseo_custom_char_replacement = array(
'ą' => 'a',
'Ą' => 'A',
'ć' => 'c',
'Ć' => 'C',
'ę' => 'e',
'Ę' => 'E',
'ł' => 'l',
'Ł' => 'L',
'ń' => 'n',
'Ń' => 'N',
'ó' => 'o',
'Ó' => 'O',
'ż' => 'z',
'Ż' => 'Z',
'ź' => 'z',
'Ź' => 'Z'); 


(your own definitions included in array)

You can improve your AdSense a lot by placing your ads different and also blend it in.

Place the ads below navigation bar and another one after the last post of a thread, but before similar threads or other content thats at the end of a forum page. It made a huge different for me. 300%+

I use leaderboard format.

But, the good news is that when you get your first 10,000 or so in there, they will be MUCH better ranked. if you were pulling #10 postion before, and now are pulling #1 or #2, those 10,000 pages most likely will generate traffic on-par to 250,000 in low positions.

Sounds really nice

Well... mixed feelings so far:

1. mod_rewrite works perfectly
2. my forums are pretty occupied ones (2000 users online) - but vBSEO produces 5 times bigger load on www machines (I have a cluster of servers, 4 production www and 1 extremely stron mysql machine +2 load balancers).
3. speed of my forums decreased, I have lost over 30% of pageviews within one day, mainly due to the slower pages - some of them take +45 seconds to load with vbSEO enabled; while vBSEO is disabled it takes 2-3 seconds to load a page.

Assuming: I have paid 145USD and got a software, which is disabled so far. Therefore I have some questions:
- how to uninstall it?
- is there any money back quarantee?

Take care
Tom

Sure, you can get your money back if you are unable to use the software.

However, it's our experience that 90% of the times such higher loads are due to elements not directly related to vBSEO. The software is currently installed (and running smoothly) in instancess with over 5000 concurrent users!!

Let's try to figure out what might be causing this:
- What is your current load at peak times without vBSEO enabled?
- When installing vBSEO, did you include your rewrite rules in .htaccess or in httpd.conf?
- Are you running Zend or ionCube? If you are running ionCube, are you using the runtime loaders or the php.ini installed loaders.

Let me know on those, I'll follow up with some more....

Answering your questions:
- enabling vBSEO means running into 20-40 zone. After disabling it load goes down to 2-5.
- I haven't touched any of my four apache's conf files (cluster)
- Zend

I have tried moving .htaccess to httpd.conf - no results, all four machines reached load level of +50 and then I had to disable vBSEO.

Any other ideas how to solve it?

And most important - how to uninstall vBSEO?

To completely uninstall, just uninstall the Product, and remove all the files.

If you just want to turn it off, the first option in vbseocp.php allows you to disable vBSEO. (And you'll also need to remove or rename the .htaccess file.)

Thanks Oleg I was in need of this.
