The new seo addon for PHPmotion is going to be done soon!

I’m nearing completion on the update of the url rewrite mod I released for PHPmotion v1. Those who purchased that one will remember how much of a pain it was to install…

This one however is a breeze, hell if you can’t set it up you shouldn’t be on the internet ;) . I’ve put a demo online here: seo PHPmotion.

You won’t have to change any code in the default files! Talk about not messing up future upgrades :) basically the installation goes like this:

  • Upload to addons folder
  • Upload template files (if you’ve changed yours you will have to modify them)
  • Add 1 line of code to config.inc.php
  • Upload the .htaccess file in your root installation
  • Enjoy! (or play around with all the cool settings!)

I will probably allow a few lucky phpmotioners to download a free copy to help test it but everyone else will have to wait until it’s up for sale ;)

The only possible downside is those who have made huge changes to the template files will have to do them again or apply the changes to them. If you don’t want to do all the changes you can still benefit from custom titles, keywords & descriptions on different pages by doing 1 easy edit in main_1.htm so it’s still a huge plus for search engines!

Some info on v2

I’m getting started on version 2 of the seo mod which I originally created for PHPmotion v1. Unfortunately v2 of PHPmotion has no better seo then the first release but that will all change once I release this mod!

The original mod only handled the links for videos,groups,users & categories. Here’s a quick list of what v2 will do, let me know what you think ;)

  • Link rewrite for users, videos, audio, categories, groups…
  • Custom meta tags for categories, videos and pretty much all pages!
  • Super easy to install! (only 1 line to add)

There’s plenty more features but I’d better get busy making the addon rather then talking about it :)

Whilst there’s only 1 line to add to the actual script, there are many changes made to the template files these will all be provided but if you intend buying the mod you’re probably better off waiting until you’ve got it installed before editing your current site theme.

Coming up next…

Want to make your phpmotion site different to all those other ones out there? I will be creating a dark web2 style theme soon which I will release for a small amount (well under $100) which is a bargain for a complete theme ;)

It will be available in several colors & I’ll post some screen shots soon.

v2 on hold

Due to lack of spare time, v2 of the seo mod for PHPmotion is on hold at least until there is a stable release out. I guess that’s probably wiser as if I worked on beta & something changed in the final release the mod would need changing again :(

Coming soon PHPmotion URL rewrite v2

With the new beta release of PHPmotion v2 (which I haven’t even had time to try out yet :( lol ) I’ll be creating a new url mod which will do even more stuff then the previous one to help get even better search engine rankings!

I’m not sure when it will be ready but I’ll try to get it done asap!
