[MOD] Google Friendly Urls For 4images Best Seo Mod

[kowalski]

The one thing stopping me from using 4images on my live site is the problem with the URL


After spending several weeks fine tuning and adding lots of great mods to my site on a localhost WAMP test area I just can't get the URLs the way I want them


I've been thru the 27 pages of this MOD:

[Mod] Search Engine Friendly URLs aka Short URLs
http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=6729.0

and whilst I quite like the effect
eg.
www.mysite.com/cat-12 
www.mysite.com/images-321

I can't get my dropdown menu to function with that particular mod
(and also it's not great for Google SEO as it has no category or image name in the URL)




I've also tried the mod on this current thread - [MOD] Google Friendly Urls For 4images Best Seo Mod - but can't manipulate the URL the way I want because I am struggling with REGEX and the .htaccess, and my own understanding of php coding

I appreciate that you have to have the cat ID and image ID in every URL using this mod but can I split up the long URL with a forward slash? (And remove the .htm extension)

eg. I want:
www.mysite.com/categoryname-12/imagename-43

I've also managed to remove the .htm / .html / .php ending successfully but would like to split up the category and the image with a forward slash (/)

because I have sub-categories, the URL currently looks ridiculous and would help if I could have forward slashes like this - category / subcat / image


any suggestions/advice?

Hi!

Is there a way to replace certain characters in the image name or cat? I have / (slash) in my image names (and some cats) and that does not work. Image name is "AMD AMD-K6 3D/250 ES" url becomes http://www.site.org/img-amd-amd-k6-3d%2F250-es-323.htm and the webserver interpret it "The requested URL /img-amd-amd-k6-3d/250-es-323.htm was not found on this server." Remove %2F it all works fine.

If i could replace / with _ that would solve the problem. Doable?

Edit: As always... Give it some time. Solved!

Found and changed:
$row['image_name'] = strtr($row['image_name'], "/éèêàëâúóíáABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ","_eeeaeauoiaabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz");

[aminhd]

I got loads of errors when I used the premodified files. But it worked when I edit everything manually!!!  Thanks a lot bro!

[thunderstrike]

Change:

$row['image_name'] = strtr($row['image_name']

for:

Code:  [Select]  [Expand]  [Hide line numbers]

1	$row['image_name'] = strtr(format_text(trim($row['image_name']), 2)

[joxxxe]

it could have the name of the section, file at my title like this page

http://www.enchulatupagina.com/comentarios-en-espanol/saludos/q-hubo-40688.html

thanx

[cpuswe]

on search / new images - is there any way to display the actual url rather than the img15434.search.htm is display img-jamie-cook---9-15426.htm

any chance of this

James

+1, would this be possible to solve?

[thunderstrike]

No. If .htaccess modify for all folder in 4images ... this is no possible. Is what .htaccess do ... is re-write ...

[cpuswe]

But has this to do with .htaccess? Is´nt this "problem" in the code that generates the search result?

[thunderstrike]

Is what change .php to .html ... is .htaccess file (parse for server).

i'm using an old version of seo mod , my urls are shows like http://pakistani.pk/wallpapers/img109.htm and http://pakistani.pk/wallpapers/cat1.htm

and i want them like http://pakistani.pk/wallpapers/image-name.htm and http://pakistani.pk/wallpapers/cat-name.htm

regards =)

[egyptsons]

worked good with me 

[darvid]

when i installed the code, everything seems to be right. all links look good. but when i click on it, the url switches again to the old. where is the problem? i doubt, i could let it be like that, because of producing double content, right?

my htaccess:
