Redirection problem!

poprulz · #1 03-03-2006, 08:01 AM

I am using vbseo2.4.0 and vb3.5.0 . I am having problem in redirection to external pages.

1. The problem is that some servers do accept the redirection n some don't.

the redirect apears like this

Code:

http://www.domain.com/forums/redirect-to/?redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fsome.domain.com/some.html

I tried to disable the external url redirect and add those servers which gave error to white list. But it does not work either.

2. Also i noticed another thing, once a thread is created and later on the thread title is changed the thread becomes inaccessable..but when the old url(of the same thread) is accessable. Is the problem just mine?

3. I have got private forums and i wanted them to be indexed by google n yahoo. I happend to see a plugin in vb.org which enables the bots(yahoo&google) to act like registered users so that they can access the private forum and index those pages. Will this lead to cloaking(as guest can't access that page)? What do u guys think abt such a feature? Do u recommend installing that plugin?

4. I have got vBa and vbshout runing in the homepage(vba page). I need to redirect the following in the vbshout(just the root).
the images and members r linked as
http://www.domain.com/images/.... & http://www.domain.com/members.php?u=xxx
It should have been http://www.domain.com/forums/... (both the cases)

i have asked the question in the original hack thread n didn't get a response. Is it possible to redirect just these two instances in the root?

Thanx in advance.. i know these r small bugs, but kindly respond.

Do you mean that you see redirect-type of URLs even when you disable the redirection in vbseocp? (whitelisting domains changes the rel=nofollow feature, not redirects)

This should not be the case, could you please give me an example in PM? Thanks!

Do you have disabled "Redirect ALL External URLs Posted in Private Forums" feature in vbseocp?

3. My personal opinion is not to do so to be on the safe side

4. Perhaps you should modify vBShout templates to include full path in urls to allow using it in folders other than forums root

yes..it is enabled.

The problem seesm to be with only 1 site...filefront!

So i should disable it to get the linkw work. Is ther any way just to disable redirect to particular site?

3. So thr is now way i could make my private forums indexed. I think that should be done in some way and it will help many. IPB got the same feature where google n yahoo slup bots r considered as registered users.

4. I had a look and the vba just borrows the forum vbshouts. I was thinking we could use a redirect in the root page just for that.

You can still decide to use this feature, that was just my point of view.

Yes, you can try the following in the root .htaccess:

Quote:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(images/.+)$ forums/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^(member\.php)$ forums/$1?%{QUERY_STRING} [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^(member\.php)$ forums/$1?%{QUERY_STRING} [L,R=301]

This doesn't seem to work either with image or member.php

its still poiting to the links without "forums" ..anything wrong?

Hi,

please PM me some example URLs

poprulz · #9 03-04-2006, 06:40 PM

I have got a doubt here,

The sitemap generator includes the private forum thread n post urls?

Pm sent regarding redirection.

Followed up via PM.
