[beta 1.5.4] Spider URLs 1.2

[dschwab9]

OOoooo. . .
I did: return str_replace($arr1, $arr2, $match['0']).'_a.html';

and I now have: http://bbs.zuwharrie.com/content/board-12_action-display_threadid-2133_a.html

So now, in the eyes of the spider, rather than a bunch of directories with and index file in each one, I have a /content directory with thousands of unique html files in it.

* dschwab9 is very happy!

If my thinking is correct, google should index most of my forum now.

Thanks for the help.

Where did you put AcceptPathInfo ?  Is it inside a a directory container?

Yes I placed it inside the <directory /var/www/html> container</directory>

hmm... why don't you wait for wysiwig to announce the new release of SM

I had planned on this being the last mod I did to my forum.

Also,
      I have trained the google freshcrawler to spider my site daily to check for new content. The google deepcrawler is scheduled to start again on 11 Oct; I was hoping to get the forum spidered in this crawl

Thanks, I'll play with it a bit.

Will I have to add anything to the "get vars from URL" section?

no, cause when you explode '/', the last part you're adding ends in the next index of the array

I've had it working since last night with _a.html appended to the URL"s, so I get http://bbs.zuwharrie.com/content/board-12_a.html

Seems to help, since I've gotten 111 hits today from the Ask Jeeves/Teoma bot.  It has never ventured beyond the main page in the past.

good idea... yeah, that'll give you a var $a without a value, which shouldn't affect your board

the new urls I'm working on will have an htm (or whatever you prefer in modsettings) extension because I also had a feeling that search engines like that better

sorry for taking long to release the other mod, it's just that I'm learning on my way and mysql is new to me (because of modsettings) and I have work to do too, but I hope I'll release it soon

I've got this kind of working on my test forum, which as you remember, is running pfabb.  It does alter the urls properly but for some reason apache keeps crashing.  I'm going to try it out on my host instead, which is running linux and not windows like on my test computer..  so we'll see.

I can't get far enough without apache crashing to see if it works properly, but so far I can tell that on the forum section of pfabb, it DOES change the urls.

Okay, I tried it out.. when I click a link on the board index, to go into a board, it sends me back to the front page.  I'm going to play with it a bit and see what happens.  I REALLY want to get this one working, heh.

Quick question: is it working with IIS 5.0 ?

Quick question: is it working with IIS 5.0 ?

this needs the lookback option in Apache, so if you have that in IIS, it could work, but I don't really know  

thx for asking

[Cerberus]

Well, I don't want to experiment
