I Broke the site - vBulletin Search Engine Optimization

Black Cobra · 10-26-2006, 08:59 PM

Well I uploaded the files and broke MD.

Site error: the file /home/monster/public_html/forums/vbseo.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_lin_5.1.so to be installed by the site administrator.

How the heck do I do that???

And now I unbroke them.

I am so Smart, I am so Smart, Smrt, I mean Smart.

You didn't run the test script first?

Black Cobra · 10-26-2006, 09:13 PM

i did, said it would be fine.

had to find a file and upload it..

Code Monkey · 10-26-2006, 09:17 PM

Yeah, the files that come with it don't seem to work as well. I usually get them from the ioncube site.

I would recomend using the /f12/ type format for forums so you have no worries if you change a forum name. And also move the thread id's, post ids to a place after the thread title so it's not the first thing google see's.

OK I understood none of that....

Also My forums are showing an error now.. any idea why?

What error would that be?

What didn't you understand? You need to go into vbseocp.php and optimize your settings. I can give you an xml to import that will make your links like ours if you wish.

On that page down the bottom of IE it says there is an error..

Code:

Line: 88
Char: 4
Error: '1' is null or not an object
Code: 0
URL: http://www.monster-designs.com/forums/

Any idea on what that is?

And yes I'll try your xml please.

THat is is IE's stupid useless method of reporting javascript errors. Nothing to do with vBSEO or such.

Get the Firebug extension for Firefox and it will give you usefull info on javascript errors.

Code Monkey · 10-29-2006, 07:40 AM

Ok, I got the error on your forum page. It looks like you installed the mark forums read extension. That has to be modded to work with vBSEO.

Black Cobra · 10-30-2006, 12:49 AM

Installed the fix that was posted. Did you ever finsh the 3.6 version of this hack?

Code Monkey · 10-30-2006, 12:54 AM

No, I need to dig into the 3.6 code that does their mark read thing and see how I can piggy back it to add my enhancements and reduce the reduntant code.Iv'e been doing a lot of install and customization work for customers so I have been too busy.

Can you post the settings please???

Also I have 329 "Not Found Errors" and 1 "Unreachable URL" in the Google Web crawl errors.

How can I fix that??

Code Monkey · 11-15-2006, 09:53 PM

Only time will fix those. Google will follow old urls for some time to come. And unreachable just means your server or the net at large was not cooperating when it looked for the page. When it looks again and finds it it will go away. Time heals all wounds.

Black Cobra · 11-15-2006, 10:02 PM

cool good good.

and the settings?

Code Monkey · 11-15-2006, 10:14 PM

Use at your own risk.

Black Cobra · 11-16-2006, 08:31 PM

thanks, have uploaded.

Hopefully will work well
