Turn off previous thread next thread rewrite

[Andy R]

Is there any way to tell vbseo to ignore previous thread | next thread? I do not want it to rewrite these url's at all because whatever process it is, is messing with another product we have installed.

[briansol]

there's an option for this in the vbseocp panel about 3/4 the way down.


Direct Links Replace 'Previous/Next Thread' redirect links?
Enable this option to replace the 'Next Thread' & 'Previous Thread' links with direct, Content Relevant links. Note: This option adds two queries.
Yes No

change to no.

Hey Brian, what's up? Thanks for the info. Unfortunately that radio button is already set No and we are still having the problem. The Product that is breaking with vBSEO is this one:
Comprehensive Ignore System - vBulletin.org Forum

Basically it allows members to ignore threads, forums, threads started by people on their ignore list, etc. One of the places it ignores them is with the previous/next links at the bottom (if the thread is an item they are ignoring). It's been tested and works on three different forums but is not working on vBSEO. If you have some time and a test environment and want to help test that would be great. If not, we'll wait to see if anyone from vBSEO can help point us in the right direction.

What is the error message you have with vBSEO ?

[Andy R]

We don't get an error message. When it gets to the code where the plugin is, the GET field has been deleted. This prevents us from being able to alter the previous/next so we can skip the threads if they are ignored.

I am not the programmer who wrote this code, he is out for the weekend. I will let him post back here when he gets back on Monday.

It is not an error message, it is basically bypassing the switch case used in showthread.php just pass the hook showthread_start:

switch($vbulletin->GPC['goto'])
{
    // *********************************************************************************
    // go to next newest
    case 'nextnewest':

When using VBSEO, the $vbulletin->GPC['goto'] variable is unset or set to = ''; somewhere.. The mod we are using requires that variable to skip threads users are ignoring (or were created by users they ignore).

I thought a quick fix would be to turn off the rewriting for the "previous next" links at the bottom, but am sure open to any other suggestion you may have.

Anyone?

I've installed that mod in the local instance and "previous/next thread" links seem to be working fine for me. What should I do to reproduce the issue?

[Andy R]

You need to add some threads to be ignored. Then go back to the forum and use the next functionality to go from one that is default (not ignored) to the next thread (supposed to be ignored). When vBSEO is disabled the next thread will be ignored as it's supposed to be. With vBSEO enabled the next thread is not ignored and shows up.

Please open a support ticket with admincp/vbseocp access and example URL so that I can check the issue with vBSEO enabled and disabled. It works in the same way for me without vBSEO.
