The following sites are using a wp module but which one/version? See the module's index page on the sites below - offers excerpts - how did they do that?

Site 1 here

Site 2 here

Site 3 (just went offline but see the cache here)

Each site has a (more) link for each blog entry on the wp index page. How did they set this up?

I'm curious, how does setting up blocks under the system module help with SEO? Are you referring to using a custom block for information on the home page? Does it really make that much of a difference? I don't have a module set to display on the home page so I guess I don't understand how it could affect SEO.

I am interested as well. I'd also like to know if we can use it in the XOOPS Care module by adding the script to the "Execute Php code" area.

For the following, I assume we add our own information?
define("user", "dbuser");
define("pass", "dbpass");
define("host", "localhost");
define("db", "dbname");

Would it be "dbuser", "dbpass", "localhost", "dbname" that needs modifying? Other than that, anything else?

Thanks...

But what if I do want links followed in my articles/posts except the ones that cause duplicate content such as print and pdf links? Surely there's another way around this? I have manually edited these links like this:
a href="link.htm" rel="nofollow"
but it's a pain to do. Not all search engines obey this and I'm not even sure Google does half the time. Isn't there another way around this? Such as putting these links into JavaScript? I've heard search engines do not index/read JavaScript. Any ideas?
EDITED TO ADD:
On second thought - I've decided only registered users get to print or make PDFs. I think it's a good compromise. Off the top of my head, something like this should work in the smartsection_item.html template:


<{if $xoops_isuser}><span style="float: right; text-align: right;"><{$item.adminlink}></span><{else}><{/if}>

Quote:

//index nofollow
$meta_robots = str_replace( ',follow' , ',nofollow' , $xoopsTpl->get_template_vars( "xoops_meta_robots" ) ) ;
$xoopsTpl->assign( "xoops_meta_robots" , $meta_robots ) ;
before
include_once XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/footer.php';
?>
This will tell the robots to index your pages ONLY, not to follow any other links in the article, including "send to a friend", "print", "pdf", and other links.

Xoops default settings will allow the robots to index your page, then to print the page and to make a pdf version of the page - three versions of the same document. You could easily get penalized by Google for duplicate contents.

Hi Northern,
Thanks but there's not much going on over there as far as support goes.

I've spent hours looking over this and though it looks like the function is there, I can't get it to work. I can truncate the blog posts but can't take it further (no idea how) and it appears that the XOOPS template (wp_index.html) is the same for the blog's index page AND individual posts. So whatever I'm truncating appears on the individual post pages as well. Kind of defeats the purpose of having only a brief paragraph of each blog post on the blog's index page with a link to the full post.

I've even tried two Wordpress excerpt plugins and they are not working because either I'm not adding to the XOOPS template properly or they don't work because I'm using the XOOPS template.

So, unless someone can confirm otherwise, I must assume it cannot be done and now another day has been lost.

Fun...fun...fun!

Excerpts For XPress Index Page

I'm trying to get the latest Wordpress module (XOOPS 2.0.16 site) to only show excerpts of the posts on the modules/wordpress/index.php page rather than full text. There is an option in the module preferences:
Show excerpt Yes/No
Display excerpt instead of full article on index page

I've set it to Yes but it still shows the full text of articles. Am I missing something or is there a way to manually change this since the setting doesn't seem to be taking?

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm... doesn't seem like there was too much to change so an update shouldn't be too problematic. I could always keep it as register.php if there was an issue post update later.
