adding portals to vbseo sitemap

With the new vb2.2.1 version that will soon be out, there will be the ability to much more reliably do custom url rewrites. So it would be great if these could be added to the sitemap creator:

Can you

• add a hook/plugin type system so that people can add code easily to your system and make it easier for upgrades - code to query the database to get other url's
• or add support for rewritten links per the custom rewrite rules, for the main portals that exist. Gallery, links, ...

Thanks.

I like the second idea, like being able to enable Pre-Set CRRs for specific popular addons, or commerical programs such as the vB Advanced collection.

third this actually..
infact that plugin idea with a basic interface on queries and getting rewritten urls will go a long way in getting lots of hacks(eg galleries etc) sitemapped.

I'd also like to see vba Gallery and Links added to this.

I will second that, for the cost of this product I would expect it to include support for VBA products

Check out the Custom Rewrites forum...

Has someone worked it all out for VBA and posted a thread on it then?

Custom rewrite for vBA Photogallery & Links?

On that note, we have already created the code to allow vBSEO Sitemaps to include URLs from vBPicGallery the SEO Friendly Photo Gallery for vBulletin software. This code is currently in the form of a hack for vBSEO Sitemaps. You add one function to the functions file and one call to it in the vbseo main file.

We look forward to a way to intergrate such needs for add ons without hacking the files if that is where you are going?

Do you have an example of the vbseo and your gallery. I could not find on the
http://www.cpurigs.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php site that seems to be your home - you dont seem to have vbseo installed as yet.

No sir, you misunderstood. What we have done is created a hack for vBSEO sitemaps that enables the stock vBPicGallery URLs to be included in the sitemaps generated by the vBSEO sitemaps hack posted at vBulletin.org.

Let's talk, I'd be willing to cooperate in making the gallery a part of or able to use vBSEO created URLs. I don't have vBSEO for vBulletin, but I get what it is. My FREEBS amazon bookstore software uses mod-rewrite quite sucessfully.

EDIT:
I got to thinking, you looked for my sitemaps? They are in the root folder(public_html is not writable ). But I do not have your SEO package for vBulletin, only sitemaps.

The vbseo custom rewrites should work great for your gallery url's, no duplicate urls like another gallery. And then what should be a simple change in your sitemap coding to cater for the renamed url's.

It's easier then I remember. One of our vBPicGallery users has already stepped up to the plate with the rewrite rules and I have half the sitemap function written already and in use for stock vBPicGallery php URLs.

This addition seems to be coming on fast. We appreciate the support as your work will benefit the entire vBulletin community. We certainly like your products.

Hi All,

a new version of vBSEO Sitemap Generator will be available shortly with new "Addons support" feature specifically designed to make it easier to add vB mods pages to sitemap (and share the addon modules! )

Excellent!!! That's great news!
