vBseo and vbadvanced?

krispy1812 · #1 04-04-2007, 10:23 AM

Hi,

I use vbadvanced with my vBulletin.
I have numerous additional information pages built in to my site with the vBadvanced, which integrates with the vBulletin backend.

My query is, does vBseo work also with this. In other words, would the vBadvanced pages also be optimised/ SE friendly ?

Presently, they display any name that I give them, along with the main page identifier (eg/ mysite.com/index.php?page=seo-otimised-etc ), would vbSeo enhance or affect this at all, or does it completely ignore vbadvanced pages?

thanx

You can use the CRRs (Custom Rewrite Rules) to rewrite those pages.

For example, on one of my sites I use CRRs to rewite this:

http://www.cbrxx.com/misc.php?do=pag...te=merchandise

to this:

http://www.cbrxx.com/merchandise.html

You can do the same kind of thing with vBadvanced pages.

Hi guys...
sorry I never responded sooner.

I have not done the re-write with these yet. The pages I was doing in HTML I just threw into the forums as I have thevbgeeks Article and Review System. It lets me section off any forum as and article or review area basically, which was all I need for the pages I was speaking about.

However, I probably will still need it for other HTML pages I plan including into the VBA system, so I will hunt about and experiment over the next few days and post back in here.

Meantime if anyone else knows a simple or standard way for the HTML pages re-write rules in VbAdvanced/vBulletin, that would help. I know there is stuff on the site for it.

I have a couple of other CMS systems on different sites which use re-write rules, here's one for example, for a CMS which is pretty similar to the vBa/vBulletin system, I don't know how compatible this will be with the VB system, but this is just to give an example of what your re-write rules will look like:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule a([0-9]+).html$ article.php?id=$1
RewriteRule c([0-9]+)-([0-9]+).html cat.php?id=$1&page=$2
RewriteRule b([0-9]+)-([0-9]+).html cat2.php?id=$1&page=$2
RewriteRule l([0-9]+)-([0-9]+).html links.php?id=$1&page=$2
RewriteRule sitemap.xml sitemap.php?t=0
RewriteRule urllist.txt sitemap.php?t=1
RewriteRule sitemap([0-9]+).xml sitemap.php?t=0&p=$1
RewriteRule urllist([0-9]+).txt sitemap.php?t=1&p=$1
RewriteRule sitemapindex.xml sitemap.php?t=2
RewriteRule p([0-9]+).html$ page.php?id=$1
RewriteRule s([0-9]+)-([^-]+).html$ special.php?id=$1&page=$2
RewriteRule feed_([0-9]+).xml$ plugins/rss/rss.php?id=$1

Will post back in a day or two with moe info.

regards

Hi Keith, I'm really interested on installing vbadvanced allong with vbseo on my vbulletin installation.

I asked here:
Vbulletin running on domain root, compatibility? - vBadvanced Forums

But I see you have forums and vbadvanced in the domain root.

Could you please tell me if you have any problems/special issues installing it?

Greetings,
Miguel Angel.

Yeah, there is no problem running both in the root. Just rename vBulletin's index.php to forums.php (or any name you want), and update the vBulletin Options to tell it the new name of your forum home page.

I run vBadvanced pages and this is my rewrite rule:

PHP Code:

  Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule (.*).htm$ /?page=$1

Save above into your .htaccess file and place into your site root folder, where your vBa index.php file resides.

This will turn your link from this:

http://www.yoursite.com?page=games

into this:

http://www.yoursite.com/games.htm

Is there anyway you can have VBSEO change all your URL's for you?
