Problem with Forums URLs without Ids

SeO

There is no problem with your sitemap : http://www.comunidadholistica.org/sitemap-foro-34.xml

it's not a forum url it's a sitemaps url, and there is no id removing to it, as you can see, in the sitemaps, the link to the forum do not have ids.

Nicely done by the way for the memberlist listing, did you put together a module ?

I think he was saying his does work ok, but will watch this for bugs

Anyway, did you take a look at mine? Check PM. I see someone else is having the same problem

You're right Laughing

.

Anyway, I tested yours there is no id to your forum urls, only the sitemaps have which is normal.

Right now, only prosilver template are included in the pack. You could mod the .xsl files and activate the use of your theme css in acp (google and rss) to adapt it.

Oh so the sitemaps having IDs is OK? That's fine then.

Also some of my forums are not being shown in the sitemap. I think this is because you need to be signed in to view them. How can I have it so all topics are shown in the sitemap?

Currently only public topics are, yet I want all topics to be idexed (Bots have access to view them)

Well, this goes with what we currently are talking about here : http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/phpbb-seo-premod/discussions-vt2892.html#18521

Since we do not make mod that could jeopardize anything for our community, the sitemaps are only listing public content.

RSS can though list private content, and thus allow bots to see private forum if you really want to.

Yeah, I see what you mean

So an option for me to get passed this problem could be to possible set all my sections to public. Then generate the cache. Then set them back to private and the sitemap will still index them.

To do this would I...

Set the permissions of all forums to public

Set GYM Sitemaps Settings all to override globally
Cache duration: 500 (So it doesn't update)
Cache auto update: Off

Then every few days, I will go into GYM Sitemaps Maintenance and select 'Clear GYM Sitemaps cache: All'

Then set the permissions back again.

Would this be correct?

Yes sorry, I got confused for a moment Laughing

Nice work then, we still did not make it to reproduce the bug you encounter unfortunately. We'll continue to look for it...

@brucey to activate the phpbb_css, just go to the google sitemap acp, the option in on the default tab, together with the xsl styling activation, it's the same with rss in the rss ACP.

you will need to copy the .xsl files from the gym_sitemaps/style/ to you theme template dir as well, and from there do the required adjustment in the html code (xsl if plenty of html code, kind of like a regular template) to match your theme's layout and css classes.

With time, we'll offer more themes directly Wink

Thanks, but you always seem to only ever answer one question in a post Cool

That's probably because you do not really stick to the topic, there is no relation between the original issue and what you are talking about.

Anyway, you can do it as you said, with the exact same problematic about cloaking.

Sorry, but this is a forum and i'm sure you wouldn't want me to start a new topic

But thanks Wink

Well in deed I prefer if you start a new topic when the initial topic does not match, forum id issue is pretty far from whet we ended up talking about here.

For next time then Wink
