[beta 1.5.4] Smart URLs v2.1

[Shadow's Pawn]

I know, I had just submitted it when I posted that.  I'll let you all know what kind of results I get once google makes it's run.

you need to submit the site to goggle, to ask for a visit from the bot. otherwise, that will never happen

Sometimes it helps on a new site, but you do not have to submit to Google.  It will follow links from other sites to find you, and, once it finds you, it will keep coming back to look for new material.

Hi all.
I just installed this mod. It works only if I enabe all three; friendly. smart and relative URLs, nothing happens if one or two are enabled. Also the index page loads at normal(ish) speed; like 0.36, but once you're deeper into different boards and threads it becomes very sloooow, like 5.236 to 9.87.
I have a small board with only 62 members of which only less than 10 are posters.
Does this use more CPU resources, because if so, I am afraid my host would shut me down.
Any help is really appreciated. Thanks

Anyone? I really could use a little advise

relative_url is the one that takes so long... turn that one off

[newbieyabbie]

Thanks, much better now, I'll let you know google results maybe next week, I think.

a quick change to make the links to boards and threads relative (absolute actually) without the relative_url function, without waiting for my next release

in the friendly_url function, search for this:

Code Select Expand

return $match['1'] . $kwDirs . preg_replace($arr1_friendly, $arr2_friendly, $match['2']) . $match['3'];

and replace with this

Code Select Expand

return $pboardurl['path'] . '/index.php' . $kwDirs . preg_replace($arr1_friendly, $arr2_friendly, $match['2']) . $match['3'];

a few lines above that, add $pboardurl to the list of variables made global inside the function

also, find this line

Code Select Expand

if($modSettings['smartUrl'] == '1'){

and add after

Code Select Expand

$pboardurl = parse_url($boardurl);

with this, you won't have to turn relative_url on to change the full urls in those links

one quick comment...

changing the relative_url function for the above code, will make the mod a hell lot faster, taking the same time as friendly_url alone (actually it's that way), which for me it's ranged from 0.002 secs in boardindex to 0.011 secs in a thread page

and the code to replace the preg_replace_callback should only be used only if that function really doesn't work for you, cause it can make the mod take twice as long or more (although it's pretty fast anyway)

I'll have to check into this, but still looking forward to the next release.  I can't believe I'm the only one who is not enjoying the benefits of this great mod on my apache with php 4.2.2.  

By the way, thanks for changing your avatar.  This one's much better, and the other one made me sick .

My son thought the other avatar was hilarious.

my kids and I found it very funny too hehe... and although others did too, I thought that some, like you, would be annoyed, so I changed it... btw, it's taken from a japanese tv commercial... I had a url somewhere...

back to the mod... I'm finally working on the new release, probably the last one

I'll add what's been mentioned in this thread PLUS an option to not use output buffering, for all those who're having trouble...

I'll setup a paypal account in a bit for donations... just joking  

[pege]

Thanks Anguz...well, you guys deserve donations (he says as he continues using the forum software for free)...

Add support for portals and we might make a few donations!

Adding PfaBB support would be great !!!

[Shadow's Pawn]

That's funny Cerberus.

I haven't tried this mod on either Enigma or Pfabb.. wonder if it will work?
