Some settings for SEO Related Topics 0.2.0

Postby fabriBW » Tue Dec 15, 2009 8:46 pm

Hi to all, i have just installed the Mod (great Mod and thanks for it!!!), now I want to make some changes, like:

1) activate Related Topics only in some Forums?
2) and, more important, limit the search only in topics within a certain period of time (last 6 months, last year, etc :) )

thanks for the help :)

Because of the way Related Topics works, I don't think this is a possibility. You do have the option of searching only in the current forum instead of searching in all forums. Does that help you?
Note: Searching in all forums is a bit slower and does not necessarily bring better results

Again, probably not going to be easily possible. Results are sorted by publication time so it already does get topics within a certain period of time, the most recent ;)

First of all thanks for your answer...

I already activated the search only in current forum;
my request was related to the fact that in my forum I also have a little shop for the users, I would prefer not appear in this forum the list for "related topics" (you sell something, and at the bottom there are some link to someone selling the same thing...) :roll:

I thought the list was randomly generated, I expected some topics more recent, but I tried only in "localhost" and in this board indexing is not complete, maybe in the real board works fine...

Thanks :)

I can see the use for these two options. Allowing admin to have some forums without related topics can be handy ( and is not resource consuming so I think I'll add this).
The second one could help if you have really a lot of topics, narrowing the time window searched in could help, but I'm not sure it actually would when using the fullText index, I need to do some benchmarking.
Though note that with the fulltext index, results are ordered by relevancy, the most relevant first, so it's not necessarily the most recent first.

Hi dcz, thank's for your answer;

at this point i have a question: my board doesn't use fulltext index but mysql index, in this case which topics are shown and in which order?

thank's :)

In such case, topic will be sorted by most creation time (topic_id).

The mod was just updated btw : phpBB SEO Related Topics V0.2.2
