Pretty permalink URL thingies (SEO) - Page 3

Viper007Bond · January 24th, 2008, 11:11 PM

An update on post permalinks for those of you with custom posts-per-page:

http://www.vbseo.com/f28/post-permal...-change-20112/
http://www.vbseo.com/f10/post-id-ins...nk-urls-20201/

Summary: I don't think it's currently possible to use the redirect-to-a-single-post URL currently, so you're gonna have to deal with it. Sorry.

IceBone · January 24th, 2008, 11:29 PM

Well... the old direct to post link was: yaddayadda?post=xxxxxx#xxxxxx

Can't the software be hacked a bit to recognize section/thread/xxxxxx/ and change it to the old formatting, which correctly diverted you to the post? It's not like those kinds of links are used very frequently with spiders, so they wouldn't make that much of a difference.

No need for the old formatting. There's already a URL structure for those old style links:

http://forums.finalgear.com/some-category/some-thread-name-1234/post56789/

When you visit that URL, it will redirect you to the right page:

Hence my thread asking how to make that switch. However, it doesn't seem to be possible out of the box.

Modifying the thing to use the post-ID URL rather than the page URL isn't out of the question, but I'm hesitant to do so as the thing is rather complex (I wouldn't know where to begin) and the number of users affected is relatively small.

I am going to be interested to see how vbseo integrates with vBulletin 3.7. They seem to be adding some of the vbseo features. The upgrade looks like it could be a server HOG though. Resource wise I am a bit concerned about all of the additions / social networking features / database stuff.

Viper007Bond · January 26th, 2008, 4:14 AM

Been making further tweaks. Let me know if you encounter any rendering issues with the forums.

I currently have it off but the title text on (hover over the link). Thoughts?

argatoga · February 2nd, 2008, 4:16 AM

I'd prefer keeping things as they are, it is much easier for copy-paste action. The hover text is nice though.

Viper007Bond · July 5th, 2008, 4:04 AM

Mod updated. It adds support for pretty URLs for things like groups, albums, etc. The upgrade fucked up the forums for an hour or so (database error), but it should be alright now.

Let me know if you encounter further problems.

Viper007Bond · July 9th, 2008, 10:39 AM

I accidentally fucked up the settings and had to reset a lot of them. Let me know if anything's broken.

jeffy777 · July 10th, 2008, 5:16 AM

The "New Posts" link doesn't seem to be working. Or is it just me?

Viper007Bond · July 10th, 2008, 6:27 AM

Not just you. Hold on.

eddysdaman · July 10th, 2008, 6:28 AM

^^ wow

I was worried

thought it was just me

keeps trying to link me to some calendar feature

Also - avatars don't seem to be loading anymore

Viper007Bond · July 10th, 2008, 6:28 AM

Fixed as well (I think).

eddysdaman · July 10th, 2008, 6:30 AM

yep

seems to be fine now

Viper007Bond · July 10th, 2008, 6:32 AM

I had fucked up the vBSEO settings (1/2 of them got blanked out or defaulted) and the default rules I had copied back in were malformed. Just needed a little tweaking and it's all better now. images/smilies/smile.gif

Cobol74 · July 10th, 2008, 7:45 AM

OK Here.

Viper007Bond · July 11th, 2008, 11:32 AM

I made some rewrite rules for All Albums and gXboxLive so they use prettier folder-based URLs (i.e. the script is in a "folder" and the pages are /script/page-X/). Let me know if you encounter any problems (minus being able to add your Xbox Live ID via the dropdown in the upper-right).
