I'm in need of a way to make my own vB pages that will use the footer and header of vB, but will also be listed in the WOL and allow the vB search to find stuff on these pages..

I'm not asking for the world, just 90% of it :p

you can see a page it's made here

http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/cust...-seo_tool.html

if you view this, it will show on who's online..

You can also make custom pages with vBadvanced if your using that.

BUT! Will these pages be in the vB search?

[Brandon Sheley]

oh, didn't see that part of your question..
I'm sure they could be made to be searched.. You could use the zoints thread tagging system and tag the articles.

Can I see your htaccess you used for this please?
I can not get the SEO to work...

Edit : NVM I fixed the problem I was having with vbseo

Thanks brandon for this... This is a god sent mod for me and my site since I need to make alot of non vB pages with information on it...

This mod is great!!

[Brandon Sheley]

yup, it is a great mod you can make the pages in development, and have only admins can see them, then when your ready you can set the permissions for the public.

There are different layouts you can use, different variables you can put in.. I whole bunch up nice stuff.. I have a few pages that I've been working on off and on, that are using this web-templates hack

[Crow]

I'm not a huge fan of vb.org mods because it seems alot of them after about 6months to a year the maker drops out and I'm stuck with a mod I can't use cause of vB updates.. I REALLY hope he keeps going with this site aLOT of my non vb discussion content will be in these pages!

Thanks again!

[Brandon Sheley]

your welcome, if your really worried, you can use vba,, it will be around..

here are some examples of custom pages

I would think vbseo could clean up the url's.. and vba will be around for a while

I think the web-template mod will be too, just wanted to let u see the alternative

I've used vba before and I'm just not a fan of it anymore, I think the webtemplates does a good job with the SEO of the urls see this one : www. thecrowforum.com/tcf-original-movie-information.htm

Only thing I didn't like was that I couldn't get the end of the URL like I wanted.. (/) insted of the (.htm)
But I'd imagen a bit more playing around with it and I could get it to end URL's like that, but I just don't have the time right now, trying to get all the info on the site is stressfull! lol (Back to working on it now)

Crow i am not a coder so I went with VBA. the links that Brandon post was made my me in 2 seconds my first time. all the tools are at your finger tips. I also had WEBTEMPLATES 3.5.x installed and I could not make heads from tails.

Thanks joh, but I went with Webtemplates, it takes a few to get used too, but once you do its alot better IMO for making extra pages, See I didn't need the portal part of the vba, and thats what its ment for really.
