Let me know if there are any other problems. </p> http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/topic/seo-urls#post-270 Sun, 27 Dec 2009 18:34:29 +0000 michel 270@http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/ <p>Thanks, I could fix that on my site. I reinstalled it and made my modifications step by step again and then it worked out. cool. </p> http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/topic/seo-urls#post-269 Sat, 26 Dec 2009 16:51:40 +0000 corbyboy 269@http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/ <p>Is this on the demo site here or your own? Are you sending an image you uploaded yourself or added via the admin centre? Can you send me a URL so I can take a look? </p> http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/topic/seo-urls#post-266 Sat, 26 Dec 2009 15:08:24 +0000 michel 266@http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/ <p>Okay, cool. Thank you for the fast answer!</p> <p>I found quite some more. Just now i run into a proble, that the image on the preview site doesn't show up any more.. it just prints &lt;img src="" alt="" border="0" /&gt;</p> <p>Well, I go on digging. </p> http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/topic/seo-urls#post-265 Sat, 26 Dec 2009 13:40:30 +0000 corbyboy 265@http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/ <p>Quite a lot I am afraid. I don't think I will be able to list all of them here for you, but index.php is littered with references.</p> <p>When I introduced the friendly URL feature I didn't realise how popular it would be. I am currently looking at ways to make it more flexible and customisable. </p> http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/topic/description-field#post-264 Sat, 26 Dec 2009 13:38:30 +0000 corbyboy 264@http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/ <p>You can enter a description for each image you upload. It is listed as "keywords" in thr add image section, but you can put any text you like in there, inclusing html.</p> <p>You can then set this text to appear on the browse image pages. </p> http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/topic/seo-urls#post-263 Sat, 26 Dec 2009 12:16:16 +0000 michel 263@http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/ <p>Hi</p> <p>For categories, there is url.com/category/categoryname used.</p> <p>I would like to rewrite that into url.com/customword/categoryname</p> <p>So far i changed "category" to "customword" in index.php and .htaccess... but there must be more files to edit.</p> <p>Can you tell me which files I have to edit? </p> http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/topic/description-field#post-262 Sat, 26 Dec 2009 11:31:11 +0000 michel 262@http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/ <p>First of all: Great work! It's very nice to have a developer, which is improving his script more and more!</p> <p>It would be greaet to have a description field for each card. The description could appear below the title below the image. The advantage is, that if you can place some more text on a single ecard page it will be an improvement related to SEO.</p> <p>And also if you have text on an image, you could enter this text as clear-text on the page for people who cannot read that text well.</p> <p>But in any case this field should be optional. </p> http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/topic/search-engine-friendly-url-format#post-234 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 23:06:11 +0000 corbyboy 234@http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/ <p>I didn't realise about the .htaccess file being hidden. I will ensure that this is not an issue in the future.</p> <p>The URLs include the number so you don't have to worry about the title of the image being unique. For example if you uploaded 2 images both called "waterfall" one would be accessed with the URL <a href="http://www.example.com/image/waterfall" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/image/waterfall</a>|20 and the other with <a href="http://www.example.com/image/waterfall" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/image/waterfall</a>|21.</p> <p>I am not too sure about the SEO impacts of this. I can look into it and paerhaps replace the pipes with a hyphen. </p> http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/topic/search-engine-friendly-url-format#post-226 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 01:01:09 +0000 pixelpunk 226@http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/ <p>Ahhhh....on a Mac, .htaccess files are invisible unless you go "COMMANDo", and most Mac users aren't willing (or able) to use a command line prompt. I booted up the PC and was able to make it work, thanks.</p> <p>From an SEO stand-point, if you could get the re-write to go to the root-level, it would make all the difference in the world, so thanks for looking into it.</p> <p>Search engines don't like to go too many levels/directories deep (more than 2).</p> <p>As a seasoned SEO guy, I'm not sure the pipe|number is a good solution...never seen it done that way before so I cannot comment on the SEO (de)value, I'm just puttin' it out there for consideration.</p> <p>Anyway, thanks for the prompt response and for the quick support! </p> http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/topic/search-engine-friendly-url-format#post-225 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 23:16:21 +0000 corbyboy 225@http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/ <p>You don't need to upload any .htaccess file, it has to be the one that comes in the zipped archive. Upload that and see if the friendly URLs work properly.</p> <p>As for the reconfiguring paths, let me take a look at it and see what I can do. </p> http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/topic/search-engine-friendly-url-format#post-220 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 18:14:39 +0000 pixelpunk 220@http://www.mywebcards.net/forum/ <p>Hi.</p> <p>I just installed v2.2 and so far I am loving it, thanks!</p> <p>When I first selected "Use Friendly URL Format?" the alert told me to add an .htaccess file, which I did.</p> <p>After adding the .htaccess file and clicking 'Update Configuration' again, it says it was successfully updated, but the file remains an empty O byte file and I get 404 errors when clicking on the image or link with the new SEO friendly URL. I thought it was a permission problem with the .htaccess file but that wasn't it (it's readable, writable and executable by all).</p> <p>My second question (or comment): The friendly URL would be MUCH friendlier to search engines if it was moved up a directory level, so the URL looked like: YourDomain.com/file-name/ rather than YourDomain.com/postcards/images/file-name|1</p> <p>Is there a way to reconfigure that URL so that it is simpler?</p> <p>Thanks! I really like the app so far. </p>
