Make your detail page spidered

[Shophere]

Hi

I am having problems getting my detail pages crawled by google
and have just read that google does not crawl php id sessions and was wondering if this is the problem with the detail page

http://......./detail.php?id=109

So my question is how can I change the "id" part of the address - ie change it to something else like "s"

I have had a look around in google at other indexu sites and I don't think I am the only one have this problem, but did notice that someone had changed the "id" to "u" and their detail pages where listed

Has anyone got any ideas?

Regards

ai,

we are working for a hack that shows /category/1, review/1, detail/1
If it will work I will post a demo.
But if I have to pay some dollars more for it, I will take some small money with Paypal for it.

I've been trying to fix this myself! But with no luck Dody or Sofiah do you guys have the answer?

Perhaps, google will exclude pages with "id=" in url. Yes, I never see google result with ?id=xxx .
If you want to change id to any text, it should be very easy.

Put these lines in about row 56

    global $linkid;
    if(empty($id)) $id = $linkid; 

Instead detail.php?id=xxx, it will make detail.php?linkid=xxx

The code still hold compatibility with detail.php?id=xxx way. You may need to change other template to refer to detail.php?linkid=xxx even won't result any error. But it will make google spider your detail page with detail.php?linkid=xxx

Thanks Dody

I have made the changes and will now wait for google to come crawling!

I tried this on the old version of Indexu v3.04 and couldn't get it to work. How could I get it to work with it?

Thanks,

Craven

craven, it should work with 3.0.4 too. Just edit detail.php like is instructed above. And edit rows.html, change detail.php?id=<%link_id%> to detail.php?linkid=<%link_id%>

Dody,

When I try chaning these I always get the following errors?

Detail Page error

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/httpd/mysite.com/html/lib/link.class.php on line 2562

Go.php error

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/httpd/mysite.com/html/lib/link.class.php on line 2576


Is there something that I need to change in link.class.php or do you think I'm doing something wrong?

you only have to use mod-rewrite

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html

BUT: Your host must support mod-rewrite

Craven, how do you call detail.php?
detail.php?linkid=349 ??

You can also attach your detail.php in this board so I can see what's wrong in your code.

Go.php error
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/httpd/mysite.com/html/lib/link.class.php on line 2576

I think it's no need to change go.php, because it's simply redirection and counter trigger, have no any content. Useless for google.

BUT: Your host must support mod-rewrite

Yes, you can do with this apache mod. But not all webhost support this. I myself never use it before.

Here it is! I've tried several different locations but its still not working! Help me! I'm going crazy....

$category_path = $category_obj->GetCategoryPath($cat,"");
$category_path = $category_obj->separator.$category_path.$category_obj->separator;

return $category_path;
}

function ShowDetailPage() {

// vars global configuration

global $dbServer, $dbHostname, $dbUsername, $dbPassword, $dbName, $theme_name,
$theme_path, $rev_max_rows, $rev_max_pages, $rev_max_chapters, $category_separator;

// vars url & form
global $id;

global $linkid;
if(empty($id)) $id = $linkid;

// vars messages
global $msg;

// vars template


$links_obj = new clsLink;
$links_obj->InitDB($dbServer,$dbHostname,$dbUsername,$dbPassw ord,$dbName);

$links_obj->query = "select * from idx_link where link_id = $id";
$links_obj->table_name = "idx_link";
$links_obj->category_table_name = "idx_category";
$links_obj->review_table_name = "idx_review";
$links_obj->category_separator = $category_separator;
$links_obj->max_rows = 1

I added this hack, but I notice the link_title is not showing up. How do you get the link title back?

[dody]

Craven, it's strange. Are you using 3.1? Here where I put the code

function ShowDetailPage() {

  // vars global configuration

  global $conn, $dbServer, $dbHostname, $dbUsername, $dbPassword, $dbName, $theme_name,
    $theme_path, $rev_max_rows, $rev_max_pages, $rev_max_chapters, $category_separator;
  
  // vars url & form
  global $id;
    
  // vars messages
  global $msg;
  
  // vars template
    global $link_detail,$pagination,$review_rows,$ofc_review;
    
    global $linkid;
    if(empty($id)) $id = $linkid;


  $links_obj = new clsLink;
  $links_obj->InitDB($dbServer,$dbHostname,$dbUsername,$dbPassword,$dbName);
