Yes, URL always ends with "/;wap2" when I click on one of my boxes

Dannii

Okay, yep I can see thats a serious problem. I'll have a look into it.

Hi Eldacka,

How do I go about finding a board number for a new board I put on the forum.

I am using the cbi mod which adds pictures at the sides of each board on the board index page. But this mod to work relies on me knowing the board numbers to be able to upload a file with the picture in.

How can I find the number of my new board ?

Hi Glennk,

What I do is go into the admin area, select Boards, and click Modify for the board I'm interested. The URL will contain the ID for that board. ;)

Dannii

Yep the board ID will be at the end of the modify link.

Thanks guys.

Another small problem today.

When adding a child board the forum screwed up (not sure why) and I managed to loose the parent board of all the child boards. I managed to salvage the parent board into slavged topics board. SO I renamed the salvaged topics board and put it back where it was.

Now all the child boards display but the parent board says its redirecting in a way that wont resolve and I notice it hasnt taken on the pretty url but is instead displaying the board nume number

Hmm, anything in the error log?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I solved it by making a new board and moving all the child boards into there. The urls of the child boards remain the same anyway so no worries. All is fine now.

I can't actually reproduce this on my forums. Do you have any other mods?

Good to hear it glenn :)

I can't see anything there that would cause problems. I can only suggest to reinstall the mod. If you are still having problems after I release 0.8, I'll have another look at it.

Actually, can you temporarily switch off the mod (through the setting in Features and Options) and copy some of the URLs used by wap?
I just had a thought though, do you actually want the pretty URLs when using WAP? They'll probably be longer - slower and more costly to download and use on a phone. Should I disable them for the wireless modes?

thank eldʌkaː,
I have uninstalled Pretty_URL mod, I think it may cause some errors in search function with non-latin characters.
I'm testing for this error.

saosangmo,

<off topic>
  I really like your forum template. Did you design it yourself?

Does anyone get traffic from Google Mobile Search? I think that just removing the pretty URLs in wireless mode would be best.

Also, is anyone interested in helping develop and program stuff for this mod?

Would help out any way I could Eldacar but I know naff all about programming. I have come back to ask you to reconsider something. I am getting more and more listings in google for the 2nd and 3rd pages of a topic. Unfortunately by this point the people in my forum are invariably off topic and the reader doesnt get what the topic was about, doesnt realise they landed on page 3 and probably bounces straight back off the site. Wouldnt it not be best for all pages to redirect into page 1 so a visitor who is new to the forum can read the topics first post and see if it is of interest to them. They are far more likely to stay and read more if they read the first post rather than the 31st, I find no value in listing seperate topic pages.  :) :)

eg :

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=bempton+bird+ash+fishing&btnG=Search&meta=

I have number 1 spot but its page 3 of the topic and the bounce rate will be around 100 percent.

L.G.S

If I install this mod, will it have the same links as SEO4SMF? I ask because my site links to a lot of stuff on the forums so if I cannot replicate the exact link then I won't be able to use this mod...

That's the page number, and it's needed (just like in normal URLs).

I don't think that's really possible... except perhaps to block the second pages with robots.txt somehow. I don't know how.

No it uses different URLs.
