SEO4SMF

Try Pretty Urls.

Is it worth using it or better sticking to SEO4SMF mod?

Try Pretty Urls.

Is it worth using it or better sticking to SEO4SMF mod?

Seems using Pretty Urls is simple and gives you less pain than installing SEO4SMF.

Im pretty sure this is the mod that killed my forum. Every time I tried changing my theme, unistall packages, post new messages, I was redirected to the homepage.

I just finished reinstalling everything and was thinking pretty urls instead,. Hope you get this worked out.

Webmastertalks is down so I'll ask here,

I get an "Undefined index: username" in Search.php error, and its from the code this mod places, specifically:

Code Select Expand

$context['search_results'][]=array('id'=>$message['ID_TOPIC'],'subject'=>$message['subject'],'board_id'=>$message['ID_BOARD'],'board_name'=>$message['bName'],'member_name'=>$memberContext[$message['ID_MEMBER']]['username'],'member_id'=>$message['ID_MEMBER'],'last_member_name'=>$message['last_member_name'],'last_member_id'=>$message['last_member_id']);

Anyone on the same boat?

I have same error but i can't fix it.

Try this:

replace:

Code Select Expand

$context['search_results'][]=array('id'=>$message['ID_TOPIC'],'subject'=>$message['subject'],'board_id'=>$message['ID_BOARD'],'board_name'=>$message['bName'],'member_name'=>$memberContext[$message['ID_MEMBER']],'member_id'=>$message['ID_MEMBER'],'last_member_name'=>$message['last_member_name'],'last_member_id'=>$message['last_member_id']);

So far that error is gone but i try to find if other bugs are coming cause of this change.

I guess I'll try just deleting that too, not sure why the whole line is there for though...

edit: theres some mention of the error here: http://www.webmasterstalks.com/seo-4-smf/0-2-6-1-released-t1037.0.html but with no solution.

We are testing almost all possible functions of my forum with my moderators and so far no problems or errors found since i deleted 'username'.

can i use this mod for smf 1.1.5?

[4LP3RUZ1]

Yes, I installed the mod first, then upgraded to 1.1.5, but I think you can do it in reverse too. 1.1.5 is not a major upgrade on the source files.

[Mr. Jinx]

I have been using SEO4SMF for some time now, but because there has not been any development for this mod for a long time, I think it's better to switch to something else.

It's still works witht 1.1.4 (and maybe 1.1.5) but it sure isn't optimal.

I think prettyurls is a good alternative. The url looks a bit better also.
Pretty url = "http://dev.eldacar.com/smf/pretty-urls-discussion/generating-pretty-urls-as-need-them/"
SEO4SMF = "http://dev.eldacar.com/smf/pretty-urls-discussion/generating-pretty-urls-as-need-them-t123313.0.html"

[Dannii]

If you do switch, I did make a redirection package too, so that the old links will still work. Though I probably need to update it now.

[Mr. Jinx]

That was one of the things keeping me from moving to prettyurl. All spidered urls and direct links won't work anymore.
A redirection pack would be cool.

[Dannii]

Well there is one here: http://prettyurls.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/seo4smf/

thanks Dannii that works like a charm

[Mr. Jinx]

Wow, thanks Dannii, I will convert to prettyurls very soon!
