vBSEO and vBDrupal incompatibility?

**Cavatina** · 11-10-2006 07:25 PM

We've just installed vBSEO and it seems to be working great for the forum, but there is a problem with the use of vBDrupal with vBSEO. I believe that the two are supposed to be compatible (vbseo + vbdrupal?) but does anyone know why vBDrupal gives the following error when anyone tries to add a new blog entry?

warning: mysql_get_server_info(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/public_html/forum/includes/functions_vbseo.php on line 3448.

warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user: 'nobody@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /home/public_html/forum/includes/functions_vbseo.php on line 3471.

I believe that this happens when vBDrupal tries to create a new vBulletin thread for the new blog entry comments. vBulletin and vBDrupal are on different subdomains, eg, vBulletin.domain.com and drupal.domain.com

Hello,

could you please try to add your "add blog" vbdrupal filename into vbseocp "Exclude pages" option like:

Code:

pagename.php

Unfortunately, everything seems to go through index.php for vbdrupal and they use URL rewrites.

with rewrites: http://blog.domain.com/node/add/blog
without rewrites: http://blog.domain.com/?q=node/add/blog

I tried an exclude that looks like this but it doesn't work:

^/\?q=node/add/blog
^node/add/blog

Wait a second, it works! With rewrites on and the following exclude, it works fine. Thanks for the exclude page suggestion!

^node/add/blog

I am looking for a way to exclude a bunch of urls in this fashion. I am also using vbdrupal, and getting thousands of errors like this in the logs each day.

I need a way to exclude a bunch of urls in this format:

project/any-text
blog/any-username

The any-text and any-username could be any combination of letters and numbers, as well as be another level deeper.

I have tried several times at writing a regular expression that works, but for some reason, but my brain does not think in regular expressions unfortunately, and nothing I try works...

I can exclude the top level but anything below it gets rewritten by vbseo, causing errors.

This works for the top level:

^blog
^project

From my understanding, that should in theory stop vbseo from rewriting all urls that begin with blog and project, including the urls like /blog/user1 but it does not stop vbseo from rewriting them. Only the main /blog url is left alone. All urls below it get rewritten by vbseo. Am I missing something here?

Hello Michael,

try to change it to:
projects/
blogs/

**michael_s** · 01-02-2007 11:47 AM

That had no effect. Still only excludes the top level directory and nothing below it.

So: oscmax.com/project gets excluded, but oscmax.com/project/osCMax does not.

**Oleg Ignatiuk** · 01-02-2007 02:45 PM

So do you want to exclude:

I need a way to exclude a bunch of urls in this format:

projects/any-text
blogs/any-username

or:

project/any-text
blog/any-username

?
In the last case you should update the option accordingly.

**michael_s** · 01-02-2007 03:02 PM

Ok, I am confusing you. Sorry.

Those urls are simply examples. The actual urls to exclude are:

project/any-text
blog/any-username

The rules:
project/
blog/

Do not work.

I have this entered into the vBSEO exclude rules right now:

project/
blog/

And if you visit:
osCMax Power e-commerce software - osCMax - osCommerce Maximized
michael_s's blog - osCMax - osCommerce Maximized
Blogs - osCMax - osCommerce Maximized
Project - osCMax - osCommerce Maximized

You will see they are not being excluded from vbseo rewrites.

The only way I can get any of the urls to be excluded is to either specify them exactly (not a viable option as there are thousands) or to do this to get the top level dir to be excluded:

project/?
blog/?

The it will exclude these two urls, but nothing below them:
Blogs - osCMax - osCommerce Maximized
Project - osCMax - osCommerce Maximized

I hope I have clarified the issue, so we do not go round and round talking about the same thing...

There seems to be a problem with excluding pages outside of vBulletin folder, I PMed you the link to the pre-release version of vBSEO, please try it.

**michael_s** · 01-02-2007 11:26 PM

Oleg,

I just updated to RC7 and it has corrected the problem. The URL's are now being excluded from rewrites, and the errors have now stopped.

Thanks for getting that to me, I do appreciate it, all those errors were really bogging things down.

Great, you are welcome!
