Question vBshout & vBseo

[ThomasJr]

I've been reading all over the place how vBshout and vBseo don't play well together. From what I understand vBshout must be placed on vBseo's "exclude" "exclusion" list.

This is what I've come up with:

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /
# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^forums/((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ forums/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/vbshout\.php
RewriteRule ^forums/((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ forums/vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^/vbshout\.php
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ forums/vbseo.php [L,QSA]

Is this correct or am I totally off track?

Can someone verify and give give the correct procedure to fix this issue?

Thanks!!

We have no issues with vBSEO and vBShout on this site, and we have not had to use any exclusion features

Can you please be more specific as to what issue you're referring to?

I realize that's 2 years old. But, that's my question. Maybe I explained myself wrong and I apologize for that. Some users have claimed a "lag" and the consensus is that is may very well be because of vBshout. I've disabled it and am dropping back and punting as the saying goes.

We haven't had any reports of vBSEO causing load issues with vBShout since that thread IIRC.

So everything is fine and I'm just simply 2 years behind in my thinking? Don't do a thing to vBseo settings ("exclude" "exclusion" list.)?

Thanks!

We don't use that list here on DBTech, but then again our SB isn't as active as a "normal" SB. You could try adding vbshout.php to the list and see if it helps - it certainly can't hurt

 

[ThomasJr]

OK.

So, my post #1 is correct?

If not, how do I as you said above "You could try adding vbshout.php to the list and see if it helps - it certainly can't hurt"

Thanks!

You could do that, or use the Exclude Pages? setting in the vBSEO CP - your way is better for performance

Can't find any exclude pages in vBSEO CP? And if you would be as so kind what exactly would be the code? Just a simple vbshout.php

EDIT: Forget it I found it. Thanks for your help.
