[beta 1.5.4] Smart URLs v2.1

[Cerberus]

First of all, thanks! The version 2 seems to be great (I've just tried it on a clean YaBB SE install).

I've also tried to install by hand the version 1 on a super-modded pfabb. Well, it works !

BTW: I'm soon goin' back to linux .

[pege]

btw, your yabbse counter is shown twice, is it something in your template?

also, did you test the keywords?

ok, here it is in Subs.php

      if ($modSettings['timeLoadPageEnable'] == 1 && stristr($curline, '</body>'))
      {
         $time_end = getmicrotime();
         $time = round($time_end - $time_start, 3);
         $curline = preg_replace('/<\/body>/i', '<div align="center"><font size="1">' . $txt['yse301'] . $time . $txt['yse302'] . '</font></div></body>', $curline);
         if($modSettings['smartUrl'] == 1 && $modSettings['sUrl_counter'] == 1){
            global $urlCount, $sUrl_time;
            $sUrl_time = round($sUrl_time, 3);
            $sUrl_counter = '<br />Smart URLs: +'.$sUrl_time.'s smart_url('.$urlCount.')';
         }else
            $sUrl_counter = '';
         $time_end = getmicrotime();
         $time = round($time_end - $time_start, 3);
         $curline = preg_replace('/<\/body>/i', '<div align="center"><font size="1">' . $txt['yse301'] . $time . $txt['yse302'] . $sUrl_counter . '</font></div></body>', $curline);

should be

      if ($modSettings['timeLoadPageEnable'] == 1 && stristr($curline, '</body>'))
      {
         $time_end = getmicrotime();
         $time = round($time_end - $time_start, 3);
         if($modSettings['smartUrl'] == 1 && $modSettings['sUrl_counter'] == 1){
            global $urlCount, $sUrl_time;
            $sUrl_time = round($sUrl_time, 3);
            $sUrl_counter = '<br />Smart URLs: +'.$sUrl_time.'s smart_url('.$urlCount.')';
         }else
            $sUrl_counter = '';
         $time_end = getmicrotime();
         $time = round($time_end - $time_start, 3);
         $curline = preg_replace('/<\/body>/i', '<div align="center"><font size="1">' . $txt['yse301'] . $time . $txt['yse302'] . $sUrl_counter . '</font></div></body>', $curline);

that worked for me.

Yes, keywords works well, for forum and boards!  what a monster!

great! I'd love some links to see them working with the mod

btw, doesn't pfabb need the op=forum thing in the new urls? does it work fine without it? also, are you being able to access the boards fine? it wouldn't work with Spider URLs and I didn't have the time to play with it to solve it, so it remained a mystery

thank you for the feedback!

regarding going back to Linux, does it mean you're on IIS? is the 'onevar' format working fine then?

[Anguz]

pege, I found my mistake, in the mod file I used <add after> instead of <replace> for that step, sorry

fixed the mod and updated the zip

that code block should look like this now

sweet

did the keywords appear in the title well? I didn't see them in your board, but you could've disabled it in modsettings

for forum I understand you're talking about the one that covers the whole community... did the ones for category work fine too? or you didn't try them?

[pege]

the keywords for title option is checked, but i'm not sure how they work.  the board title still appears in the tab.  still checking this out...

[dschwab9]

Anguz, your board and Pege's both have a PHPSESSID in every link.  Should that be there?  A search engine will almost definately ignore any link with a session id in it (or at least severly limit the number of pages it indexes).

[dschwab9]

The links look like this for me:

http://pege.net/yabbse/index.php/bible-answers/jesus/b4.htm?PHPSESSID=b6129b39043f11de60d821113d8390db

[Anguz]

I noticed the same thing, specially as a Guest... I don't really understand why, cause I have absolutely no experiece with sessions...

could someone that knows explain why this could be? excuse my ignorance

[pege]

This article says Google filters out PHPSESSID from urls:

http://www.highrankings.com/forum/index.php?s=f559030a786cf78bdb7a1f423f19d937&showtopic=2078&st=0&#entry24907

I did a site search on www.laakademia.com, and the articles were spidered without session id, even though they appear when you visit the site.

One article about this says that the php session id is appended to the url in the event a cookie cannot be set.  

[this article was chached in google...the site is currently down]

RE: Session ID showing in URL

by nazly on October 31 2003, 03:09


When the session is initialized the session id is either stored in a cookie on the user side or is propagated in the URL. If I'm not mistaken the reason why it shows up in the URL because cookies are disabled.
Or if it happens eventually check whether this happens after you delete the cookies.

I noticed after you click around for a while on the forum, the session id is no longer in the url.  maybe something is keeping the cookie from loading or setting properly?  Or do we even need to worry, if Google filters "PHPSESSID"?

[pege]

ok, here's a thread on this subject in SMF...

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=2140

maybe it needs an    ob_end_clean(); somewhere.

[dschwab9]

Have you actually read something *from google* saying they filter it out?  They do not release much information about their crawler or indexing methinds, so anything posted a site other than Google itself is generally either not true, or just speculation.

I have seen pages with PHPSESSID in the URL listed in google, so I'm pretty sure they do not filter it.

[pege]

Have you actually read something *from google* saying they filter it out?...

well, i did a site search for Anguz's site, and the articles did not have the phpsessid.  when you go to the site yourself, however, the phpsessid shows up for the exact same articles.  

[Anguz]

it doesn't filter them

http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=site:hablajapones%2Eorg+HablaJapones

other than looking ugly, I don't know what bad it does

I'd like not to have it there, at least for the spiders... a solution could be to make Google register to the forum

[Anguz]

you could do this

Code Select Expand

<edit file>
index.php
</edit file>

<search for>
if (function_exists('session_start'))
</search for>

<replace>
if (function_exists('session_start') && $username != 'Guest')
</replace>

but first I'd want to know if the session is actually useful when used with a Guest
