    You dont need the Mod-Rewrite.

    Look, ill explain this simply. The mod-rewrite is SUPPOSE to make your website more spider friendly. Guess what? Google and Yahoo actually have a clue believe it or not.

    Here are a few simple Google Indexing examples:

    Digitalpoint has 763,000 pages indexed

    vBulletin has 3,090,000 pages indexed

    vBulletin.org has 424,000 pages indexed

    opentechsupport.net has 274,000 pages indexed

    vB Webmaster has 83,500 pages indexed

    Lincoln vs Cadllac has 214,000 pages indexed

    ForAbodiesonly.com has 261,000 pages indexed


    This is just a few sites - none of them use a mod rewrite. So what makes you think that you need one? The proof you dont is above.

    I think he's talking about vbSEO which is active at the time2dine forums and does more than just the mod_rewrite as it adds title text and meta tags etc.

    title text, meta tags - that stuff is easy. the mod-rewrite is simply unecessary.


    I already demonstrated how unecessary it is above. Mike (T2DMan) has some good SEO ideas - but there are a few things he is completely off base on IMO - For example, he thinks PageRank is extremely important.

    Precisely. But don't think this is the last time this will need to be said. It may not even be the last time this week :eek:

    DP how are you upgrading your forums so quickly when you have custom templates? I had to revert a bunch and then re-add my code because they were changed.

    Thanks man

    Probably because he's coded them really well so they migrate nicely.

    Is the forum jump here a released hack?

    He's actually running a sweatshot filled with women and children who are all illegal immigrants from third world countries. They get paid $1 a day each to do the coding and he charges them $2 a day for room and board.Two of them escaped last year and formed the law firm of Winn and Simms.


    ...and now you know... the rest of the story.

    The template diff system in 3.5 is a beautiful thing. :) Actually not a whole lot of templates changes have been made anyway. Most of it is stuff done in plug-ins, with the result being a variable passed to the template (to make template updates quick and easy).


    That too. ;)

    No it's not... Mostly because I don't want to support it, and it's really, REALLY ugly internally. The whole forum jump system is primarily for drag and drop thread movement for moderators (see this). The ability for end users to use it as a navigation system is secondary.

    An example of how ugly it is, is the fact that the plug-in that generates the DHTML menu is really just doing a massive preg_replace() on $jumpforumbits (the stuff for the "normal" forum jump in vBulletin) with a ton of ugly str_replace() thrown in there to shorten some of the longer forum titles (obviously that's going to be specific to this forum). Then there is massive changes/additions to some of the JavaScript files for the cooler stuff (drag and drop AJAX functionality) which of course isn't going to carry over on an update. So at this point I'm kind of worried about making it work on an upgrade on THIS forum, much less worrying about other people being able to make it all work.

    Have you checked out the new plugin/hook system in 3.5? I just wrote my first one today. I would assume this would allow very simple upgrading. The only problem I can forsee is you can't use it with custom templates.
