Re: optimizing iforum 1.0 rc for search engines and social enginesohhh - ok - well this isn't really a system problem as much as it is a theme problem.
In your theme - if you have <{$xoops_pagetitle}> - <{$xoops_sitename}>> then you have a long way to go before you should be worrying about SEO. Basically your meta area should be ridiculous. here is mine
<!-- Title and Meta -->
<{if $cur_dir|truncate:4:""=="wfdo" }>
<title><{$page_title}> | Mr. Theme Design</title>
<meta name="description" content="Mr. Theme Design Free Theme Downloads Section" />
<{elseif $cur_dir|truncate:4:""=="mytu" }>
<{assign var='page_title' value='Video Tutorials' }>
<title><{$page_title}> | Mr. Theme Design</title>
<meta name="description" content="Mr. Theme Design Video Tutorials" />
<{elseif $cur_dir|truncate:6:""=="smartp" }>
<{assign var='page_title' value='Partners' }>
<title><{$page_title}> | Mr. Theme Design</title>
<meta name="description" content="Mr. Theme Design Partners" />
<{elseif $cur_dir|truncate:4:""=="them" }>
<{assign var='page_title' value='Recent Themes' }>
<title><{$page_title}> | Mr. Theme Design</title>
<meta name="description" content="Mr. Theme Design News and Tutorial Section - ImpressCMS, XOOPS, and Photoshop Guides" />
<{elseif $cur_dir|truncate:4:""=="news" }>
<{assign var='page_title' value='Text Tutorials' }>
<title><{$page_title}> | Mr. Theme Design</title>
<meta name="description" content="In depth tutorial on creating a XOOPS or ImpressCMS Theme From Scratch." />
<{elseif $cur_dir|truncate:4:""=="liai" }>
<{assign var='page_title' value='Contact' }>
<title><{$page_title}> | Mr. Theme Design</title>
<meta name="description" content="Contact Mr. Theme Design" />
<{elseif $cur_dir|truncate:4:""=="pric" }>
<{assign var='page_title' value='Pricing' }>
<title><{$page_title}> | Mr. Theme Design</title>
<meta name="description" content="Mr. Theme Design Price Guide" />
<{else}>
<title><{$page_title}> | Mr. Theme Design</title>
<meta name="description" content="<{$page_title}>, <{$meta_description}>" />
<{/if}>
And this is a minimalist approach - sublime's is ridiculously long. Something I discussed with the team recently is expanding the power of symlink... I would love to see the ability to use symlink to set custom page descriptions/titles/meta - seems like we are half way there already. |

Re: optimizing iforum 1.0 rc for search engines and social enginesLike I said - mine is very minimalistic - but you can go into it a lot deeper.
Look at the forum templates for newbb - there is a smarty constant used there for the description - and topic title. Play around with it - and you can create unique tags for every module - on the fly automatically. What you should be taking from mine is how to isolate the module via smarty. Also - you can do it right in the module if you are feeling strong. http://xoops-tips.com/news-article.storyid-69.htm |
