jrProfileTweaks bug

Using Jamroom

I've just been checking this out, and am following this:


And I don't see any issue (see my screenshot).

Note that I DID find one issue that is fixed in the next release, and that is if the skin a profile is set to is NO LONGER allowed in it's quota, but was set BEFORE the quota was changed, then it would still show - now it will show the site skin.

Just make sure your DirectoryIndex line is like:


Let me know if that helps.

OK update to version 1.2.1, and that should now show all the categories in the Smiley Browser drop down selector, and also fixes a caching issue.

Note again that you WILL see doubled categories in your chat selector IF 2 different categories end up with the SAME category URL - i.e. foot/party and food-party would end with 2 sections in the chat selector. So make sure all smilies in a category are using the SAME one (i.e. all use food/party or all use food-party).

Something important to know here. These 2 categories:

food-party
food/party

Are going to result in the SAME URL, since a forward slash is not allowed in a URL name. So I would recommend using something else - i.e.

food, party
food - party
food & party

etc.

OK - I won't comment anymore on it, but let's just say we "agree to disagree"

My focus is on JR's sitemap module. I'll check it out and see if there are some things we can do to improve it - just note that it's not meant to compete with stand alone sitemap builders that give you a hundred knobs to turn. Our goal is to have a module that works just fine for 95% of our users.

Thanks!

You're continuing to post here without reading my follow ups.

You're correct - they help with SEO. But none of it refutes what I have posted. You're line of reasoning is that Google bot is flawed and can't figure out how to follow a URL. with 20+ years experience crawling the web, that's not an issue Google is still dealing with

Again - it's to help search engines find pages that are NOT discoverable - i.e. they are not linked anywhere from your site. I suspect you have very little URLs that fall into this category.

Unless your URLs are hidden, this just doesn't happen.

There's currently a caching issue - have found it and am fixing it. I'll have a fixed up out shortly.
