I've been searching for a decent SEO module or hack for XOOPS for quite a while.

I believe that the only way to achieve max seo exposure is to rewrite the url in an seo friendly way.

For example:-

http://www.colournation.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=2412&forum=5&post_id=7231#forumpost7231&

(a real poost on my XOOPS site)

Should be rewritten:-
http://www.colournation.com/modules/newbb/hairstraightening/Permanent_hair_straightening_tips.html

or similar.

Traffic is fundimental to the sucess of any site and unless we sort this out XOOPS may be in trouble.

I'v been looking at Joomla! recently (I know, I know, it terrible) and the sh404SEF module in particular found here:-

http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,2380/Itemid,35/
(not a great url in itself)

And this module appears to do everything I want XOOPS to do.

For example:-
http://londonhairdressers.co.uk/index.php/Latest/London-Hairdressers.html
or

http://londonhairdressers.co.uk/index.php/London-Hairdressers-News/London-Hairdressers.html


Is there anyway, any module I've missed which will allow XOOPS to do this?

thanks

We are designing SEO for XOOPS 3 and thank for the information
Can you please write down any of your requests, suggestions and ideas and submit to http://xoops.wiki.sourceforge.net/XoopsFeature30?

Quote:

i hope in future the word module will be removed completely and be replaced with the name we set in the module

example wflinks to directory

mysite.com/modules/wflinks/ to mysite.com/directory/

what is the eta for version 3?

I will take a look and note my suggestions thanks for the tip.

Nothing else in the short term? No modules etc which will do it for us?

thanks

Andrew

tried posting this to the xoop3 requirements but it wouldn't post.

[It's been further suggested that 'modules' should not appear in future XOOPS url's and that the module name should reflect what the module has been called within XOOPS admin, so for example 'newbb' might become 'forum' a much more useful name, then the url might look like:- http://www.colournation.com/forum/hairstraightening/Permanent_hair_straightening_tips.html ]

Are both live urls generated by the module and Joomla! - The advantage to all XOOPS installations must be clear...
