    vBulletin and Photopost getting mixed up in archives

    I just noticed these today. Google "site:retouchpro.com nofollow". They're odd amalgam pages with the right-most breadcrumb actually pointing to a Photopost page (in my /gallery directory). Plus they have "nofollow" listed as part of the title. I'd never heard of nofollow until I installed vbseo.

    I do use vbulletin integration with my Photopost install, but its never tried to archive them before. Plus the breadcrumb path is all wrong.

    Hello Doug ,

    that looks weird. Is it working correctly if you temporarily disable vBSEO?

    I'll give it a try if you can tell me how to view one of those exact pages with a non-rewritten URL. I have no idea what the URL would be without the rewriting.

    Perhaps an example might be:
    Code:

    I figured out how to view it (there's a ? involved) and tried it without vbseo. I also figured out what's going on, but not how to fix it (but I now care a lot less).

    Without vbseo everything was identical except for the nofollow tag. The reason is that I have 4 forums on my board that are actually links to my gallery. There's no reason for those pages to be in the archive, but also no harm in it.

    Vbseo adds the nofollow like it does to all other links, only one "link" is actually the title of the archive page.

    Not a bug, just a weird situation. If you can suggest a fix, great, but I'm no longer nearly as concerned as I was.

    Ah, now I see. I checked archive code part in vBulletin and it looks like this issue has been addressed in vB3.6.x.
    For vB3.0.x (like in your case), please try to modify archive/index.php file.
    FIND:
    PHP Code:
    $foruminfo fetch_foruminfo($ffalse); 
    ADD BELOW:
    PHP Code:
        if (trim($foruminfo['link']) != '')
        {
            
    exec_header_redirect($foruminfo['link']);
        }
