[TH] Article Manager [Deleted]

[wang]

I think you may need to rethink your strategy, look at how popular Xenporta 2 Pro is, 2621 posts on that thread. Hundreds of admins have purchased that add-on, yet not a single one of them will be able to buy your add-on because of this conflict. Just something to think about.

Thank you for your time, sadly my money is gone. Goodbye.

I understand what you are saying sir. I was not aware of that add on that was using the same router name. Now that I am, I placed a notice at the description page about it not being compatible with Xen Porta 2 add on.

But let us say that I change it, who is to say that another add on does not make use of the new router name, or it will in the future? I can not keep changing it anytime another add on uses the same name for its router. Not to mention the fact that my add on is specific to a certain niche, articles. I can not have the url say something else, like portal for example.

Your money is not gone sir. I will modify the add on for you and email it to you when it is finished.

Installed new update. Got this new error;

Did you run the query that I posted in one of my previous posts? It looks like the prefix_id has not been added to the articles table. It can be readded with this query.

ALTER TABLE xf_articles ADD prefix_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0;

 

[AngelArs]

Yes I added it, but will re-add it again.

Yes I added it, but will re-add it again.

I am sorry sir, I posted the wrong query. You should run this query instead.

ALTER TABLE xf_article_category ADD require_prefix TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0';

 

[AngelArs]

Yep, it was there.

Got this error;

#1060 - Duplicate column name 'prefix_id'

 

[wang]

Yep, it was there.

Got this error;

#1060 - Duplicate column name 'prefix_id'

My mistake sir. I did not look closely at the error message screenshot that you posted. Please run the other query that I posted in my previous post.

 

[AngelArs]

I am sorry sir, I posted the wrong query. You should run this query instead.

ALTER TABLE xf_article_category ADD require_prefix TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0';

That one went through.

 

[wang]

That one went through.

It looks like upgrading did not add a couple of fields. But adding them with sql queries fixes the problem.

Hi @wang, can you explain of you've done anything on SEO?
I am interested in your addon to replace Wordpress, but am afraid to lose SEO ranking on my Wordpress pages.
Thanks in advance!

I have done nothing special on SEO sir. If you will replace Wordpress with something else, my add on included, then SEO will take a hit I think, because the urls will be different.

Not much of a hit. 301 redirects will mean a tiny hit, but as long as page titles are good, and the basic structure ant content is good, then I don't see a huge SEO problem.

What would be nice is if descriptions can be manipulated beyond the first few lines of text.

This is important not so much for SEO, but for users once they see the page in the listing.

Thanks for clarifying that m8! I'm not too worried about the changing URL but more if the SEO is strong enough to pup up between the threads and replies.

Very nice new features Wang

Your styles folder is in the 'default' directory. Do we put those file in that directory if we're using a different style?

I think that the descriptions are long enough and they will not affect SEO in a negative way. It makes use of descriptions more or less in the same way like RM. I think that if they can be longer, then it might overlap with the articles content.

That would be nice yes.

In that case you have nothing to worry about sir.

Yes sir. It would be better if that folder is also uploaded in that directory of each custom style that you are using.
