Custom Showpost URL Format Not Parsed in SM 1.7

I put this custom 'Showpost' URL Format in the vBSEO config and it is not parsed in Sitemaps 1.7.

Code:

f[forum_id]/post[post_id]-[post_count].html

SM output in Yahoo! urllist...

Code:

http://www.riderinfo.com/forums/showpost.php?p=7412&postcount=10

It parses fine in showthread however.

Advise please.

[forum_id] shouldn't be used in your showpost format. Not sure why it's working on showthread though.

Just use: post[post_id]-[post_count].html

I followed suit of here and figured it would and should work.

The URLs in the sitemaps for this site are broken in the sitemaps too. So, I gotta ask, will you fix this so we can use it, or stop using the URL here too?

The showpost links here on vbseo.com are replaced with the PermaLink, so I'm not sure I follow?

Example: Custom Showpost URL Format Not Parsed in SM 1.7

Basically VBSEO does not put showpost urls in the sitemap generator since they use permalinks

Well, they were there before and now they are gone. I checked before I made this post. They were as broken as mine were in sitemaps.

It appears that someone changed it.

Oh well, the point is moot now I guess.

But The link example above has the forumID in it. That's that way I want it and it works on the forum and not in sitemaps. :/

The link example above is because vbseo.com has the PermaLink option set to replace the post number link. (Check the LinkBacks section of your vbSEO CP.) It's not done with a showpost URL format change.

Here's how it looks using the default URL format, with that option turned on. Check the post number links here:

Here is another bug is stiemaps.

Notice that the URLs for vBSEO urls only show the Odd post numbers and the original PHP URLs show only the even numbers?

Yeah, I see the difference in the Permalink and the post link now. I don't like it however the way it is applied to sitemaps at all. It makes two links for the same post. I thought the whole point was to eliminate that?

See my post above as well please showing the counting error.

Thanks

OK, I see how to get rid of the duplicate urls. That is solved, but the sitemaps Odd even issue needs to be looked at.

Thanks

You must have had the option on to include the standard URLs also?

This problem only exists when using sitemaps for both old urls and vBSEO urls.

Thank you for reporting, this happen when both SEOed and original showpost URLs are included in sitemap. This will be fixed in the next vBSEO Sitemap Generator build.
You can fix this by modifying vbseo_sitemap_functions.php file.
FIND:

PHP Code:

vbseo_url_post($threadrow, $postrow, ++$pcount, true), 


REPLACE WITH:

PHP Code:

vbseo_url_post($threadrow, $postrow, $pcount, true), 


Thanks for the fix!

I'm pretty well all set now.
