MyBB Community Forums

Hi!

I have a couple question and suggestions for your plugin

Suggestions:
Can you add TagCloud basic or something like in this forum. - www.forum.wiaderko.com .
Look:


(You have to register to have full acces, and for delete adverts)

There are tags for each categories, and for whole foum. Look at the footer in my opinion it is quite advanced.

I tkink that Wordpress tags are nice they are generating link - xxx.com/tag/YourTag

Your mod has got dynamic meta or keywords (I've looked at the example and I didn't see keywords.)

Has your mod got a description for images (it helps in seo) ?, when you add image the plugin should automaticly add to <img> alt="Name of your thread" and title= "Name of your thread" .

Questions:

When I'm using your plugin plugins "Seo Links" and all Seo Plugins ?

Does your sitemap generator support your seo links ?

Sorry 4 English

Google SEO doesn't do tag clouds for two reasons; one, tag clouds are really complex and hard to get right, so that kind of functionality should really be a plugin on its own; two, tag clouds simply are not SEO, it's not mentioned in the SEO guide this plugin bases on (official Google's SEO starter guide). This guide even specifically states that it's bad to have every page linked with every other page (and that's essentially what tag clouds do).

Google SEO also doesn't do keywords for two reasons; one, it's not mentioned in the Google's SEO starter guide (Google ignores keywords), two, it's hard to generate good keywords for a page.

For images, I agree that alt titles are good for images. However, MyBB already does this. All icons and buttons and etc. have alt descriptions. The real problem is that if an image does not have a description, a plugin really can't provide one either - a plugin can't possibly tell what's in an image and thus it can't describe images. If there are images that do not have a description, this is something that should be fixed with MyBB. For attachments, you'd need to have a plugin that allows users to provide their own descriptions to the images they upload. This is beyond the scope of this plugin however, that'd have to be a separate attachment enhancing plugin.

The Sitemap generator uses the URLs that are generated by MyBB. And since Google SEO URL hooks into MyBB URL generation process, it supports both original MyBB URLs, as well as Google SEO URLs.

Hi, so why forums are adding the tags for their page ?

Where can find topic - "How to make alt and title in images"?
(It will be easier if you add it into your plugin)

When will be the new version (with canonical)?

And it is possible to add alt and title to "Similar Threads" (You konow these threads who are under posts)?

Another question - Error 404:

Quote:ErrorDocument 404 /MyBB/misc.php?google_seo_error=404

I heard that google 'doesn't like' question marks in coed?

Quote:When will be the new version (with canonical)?

Some time after MyBB 1.4.5 release I guess.

Quote:I heard that google 'doesn't like' question marks in coed?

Not sure what you mean - Google can handle dynamic URLs just fine - but that 404 is an internal name only anyway, Google doesn't see it.

I have ot probem with your script. When I tun on your seo links all pases are showing error 404. What should I do?

Did you add the rewrite rules to your .htaccess? Does your host support mod_rewrite?

Yes Yes, the topics are not working only in forum for Administarors.

I found a bug: when the forum (categorie) has got a color the plugins add this color to link for example:
http://www.pgc-cs.eu/Forum-span-style-co...trong-span

@Edit: Funny thing, 50% of users are telling me that seo links are working, and next 50% taht not.

Aso 404 is not working. This page:
http://pgc-cs.eu/misc.php?google_seo_error=404

doesn't exist

That's what happens when you mix names and HTML tags.

It's silly really... MyBB allows HTML to be added to something that should really be just the name, and in turn it means that anything that wants the name has to strip those tags back out of it. For the forum name alone MyBB does this in 9 different places. I'll add support for this poor design choice to the next version...

Is it working ?

Also Sitemap Maked doesn;t do any sitemap.

Phe plugin is truned on.

# 404 is enabled.
# Meta is enabled.
# Redirect is enabled.
# Sitemap is enabled.
# URL is enabled.

{$google_seo_meta} will be replaced with forum description on forum pages, and the contents of the first posting on thread pages (as a meta description tag). If it can't find a description for a page it will do nothing.

Does your host do rewrites with apache / .htaccess / mod_rewrite? I'm asking because the response headers of your site say it's not apache but nginx. I don't know how to do URL rewrites with nginx.
