Updated Google Tap Distribution 10-22-2003

Posted: Tue Nov 25, 2003 11:18 pm

10-22-03 Distribution users,

I am no longer formally supporting code changes for the 10-22-03 Distribution version of GoogleTap.

I will continue to provide general support questions for GoogleTap, but all coding and converting efforts have now moved to the future of GoogleTap for GT-NExtGEn, I am hoping that Nukecops will eventually follow my lead on this.

I thank everyone for their generosity, great questions, idea's, and patience for trying to understand how I explained things Smile

on the 10-22-03 distro.

I also thank all of you who have read my constant posts over the last month or so and hope a few of you have been able to learn something or another.

If you are interested in GT-NExtGEn please visit http://gt.audioslaved.com . The site has now opened and we eagerly await you to use what I believe is the next step for GoogleTap. Thank you all, see you around.

-Bill (Audioslaved)

Well Audioslaved, I know you are a busy guy, but I would really appreciate if you helped me. Check out my site http://pottersrealm.tk and see the links on the left. The infopages I have created in the categories viz., Magical Info, Actors, Characters etc., I had made them in Frontpage and then used Disipal's PHPNuke Tools and converted them into modules. Will I need Google Tap to make them crawlable? And if so how do I do that?

If you help me out, I willbe highly obliged.

Thanks.

I am sorry, but my primary support efforts are now concentrated on advancing my flavor of GoogleTap, GT-NExtGEn. It appears you are not using NExtGEn so I can be of little assistance to you. I can however tell you the following (This is where I still help you even though I said I wouldn't) Wink

The Potter Tap,........ Here we GO!

In header.php, Add to bottom of $urlin array (Be sure to add a comma to the end of the statement that is currently last in your $urlin array and take the comma off of the end of last statement below.

Code:

"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Hogwarts&file=([a-zA-Z_]*)'",
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Hogwarts'",
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=DA'",
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Offices'",
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Other'",
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=OOP'",
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=MOM'",
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Mungos'",
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Diagon'",

"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Biorythm'",
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=BirthSignCalculator'",
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Characters&file=([a-zA-Z0-9_]*)'",

In header.php, Add to bottom of $urlout array (Be sure to add a comma to the end of the statement that is currently last in your $urlout array and take the comma off of the end of last statement below.

Code:

"hogwarts-\\1.html",
"hogwarts.html",
"da.html",

Dear Audioslaved,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I have downloaded the Updated Google Tap Distribution 10-22-2003 and am using it. Should I use this self same one or should I use GT-NExtGEn you mentioned? Which is easier to install? Kindly advise.

Well, it is really up to you, The stuff I gave you above works if you are using CVS GoogleTap made by Nukecops or the Updated Distro worked on by me (and countless others) using the CVS Code as a base.

I eventually found the both to be too much. I wanted it more aesthetic (<--sp?), meaning I wanted "everything" to be tapped to give it a standard look and feel across the board. I personally felt that having hybrid URL's (Long and Short) looked sloppy and I wanted to tap more than just the little bit that had been done.

The problem was that when I completed the Updated Distro, it was rather huge, the array's are absolutely horrid for what I wanted to accomplish, there was so much being called on every page load that didn't need to be, the same in my opinion even goes for the CVS tap. All of the preg_replaces are processed on every single page load, regardless if you have 3 URL's that need to be tapped or even 0. That is alot of resources wasted, especially when you have a high traffic site.

The other thing that really sucks about the CVS and Updated Distro moreso than the resources, is developing for it, nuke's modules are not coded in a standard in any way, shape, or form. That means there could be a URL with 3 variables and in some instances, it would have to be tapped 5 times. That is due to the way &amp and &'s are used. Sometimes it is & sometimes &amp, when you are coding and figuring out a tap, one of the most frustrating things can be trying to find how &/&amp is being expressed for all instances of that URL. Ewwww! Sounds like a pain in the butt, it is! Smile

I devised a way to make it "smarter" per se. Depending on the module being called, it would only grab the rewrite rules that pertain to that module and convert them on the fly. This was good and bad for some. Good because resources were being used wisely again, but bad because going module-based ruins block support.

The fix, well its two fold. If you are serious about SEO and your site, convert your blocks to their html equivalents, I devised a block converter script that can help out with blocks based on that of the default modules that ship with nuke. The other is to use the new NExtGEn 0.4a (NExtGEn 0.4 must be installed first) which was released today (depending on your timezone), this release gives you the configuration option of converting the blocks on the fly, though this will drain more resources and I do not recommend it for larger sites. It is far too easy to convert blocks to rely on this method. Nonetheless, it is still an option for those who so feel inclined.

Oh and the &/&amp thing, that is handled on the fly, all standalone &'s are converted to &amp, this allows there to be a standard while tapping your site, you don't have to worry about it, always use &amp, alot less confusion, maybe a person or two can come vouch for what I am saying as I am clearly biased. I am also very imformed as I spent alot of time pouring my heart into all of them, so there is no disrespect meant to the CVS version the Updated distro version, this is just my opinion.

If you are happy with the Updated Distro, than continue to use it by all means, you = happy = life is good. Wink

Its 2am in the morning and I finally installed the 10-22-03 GT distribution on my website. An error due to 'blocker.php' in the header.php file was easy to fix and the site is up and running... but I am not sure is the GT hack is actually working!

The best way to try it I though would be to visit the forums, expecting to see nothing but .html links but to my disappointment, all links seem to be the same as they were before the GT hack!

So, my question is what is it possible I am doing wrong ?

I should also mention that there was one more error in the includes/session.php file, where to my surprise I already had the required modified code in there!

I am running phpnuke 6.9 - fully patched up (Ravenphpscript.com).

If anyone can provide any assistance, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hey Juggs To answer your question on page 1

I have created a ISAPI Rewrite system for Windows Server's to use with phpnuke. This is compatible with IIS

the Package is in our Downloads Section on http://support.studio505.net

This package was made Area 51 IT Solutions http://support.studio505.net Steve (AKA Rockdrala - Yahoo IM: scorpion_spell) becuase the next gen project doesnt support IIS 6.0
THis was tested on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise with IIs 6.0 and PHP Nuke 7.7 This is not google tap. Helicons Version of ISAPI Rewrite is Crap As Well.

copy and paste the A51rewrite.dll and the rewrite.ini into your C:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv folder (THESE ARE IN THE PUT IN SERVER FOLDER IN THE PACKAGE)

After Copying and Pasting the Files in the "right click" on each one make sure the SYSTEM account has full permissions to each

Open IIS and go the websites container, right click on the website you want the filter applied to. Go to Properties.

Click on the ISAPI Filters at the top

Click the button Add

Type in A51rewrite

Browse to the Excutable C:\window\system32\inetsrv\A51rewrite.dll select it of course

click ok, then apply then go you your your web service extensions in IIS, Click on All Unknown ISAPI Extensions, then click ALLOW...

Go the top of IIS Right Click on your Server at the Top, Scroll Down To Restart IIS, Click It

Wait for it to restart

then test it by opening up a browser and typing http://yoursite.com/index.html

Taa daa! A working example can be found on my site at http://area51portal.com/index.html

HOWEVER PLEASE use my tech community for asking question... Under Server Category Windows

at http://support.studio505.net

Remember http://support.studio505.net <------- Join
http://area51portal.com/index.html <------- Example Site

NOW THE Menu PROBLEM!

Googletap and next gen modify the Navigation Menu (main modules block) to change the links to go th *.html Links for Mod_rewrite

THE SOLUTION! I have made a premade Navigation Menu... JUst drop the block included in this package block-html_menu.php in your Blocks Directory and activate it

from your Blocks nuke administration menu in phpnuke. Be Sure your disable the Modules Block, If you cant find

you modules block you may have already renamed it to something like Navigation Meu.

After you activate the new block click edit in your Blocks administration Menu and give it a friendly name like Navigation Menu or Site Directory.

Go to your main page and see how it looks.

If you want to add your own links just open up the block and copy and paste, I made that easy

Now if ya'll want to show your apprecation JOIN MY SITE! Its new and I need members, I dont care if you ever ever use it, just join baby join, lol

http://support.studio.net

Thank you all for using this, I worked weeks on it...

Ps no editing of the footer or header is required with my package. The reason why you do that on Next Gen and Googletap is becuase you have to make the page its call the mod-rewrite...

that isnt the same IIS, its all sever side proccesses. It rewrites by url level on the fly... where mod_rewrite has to be called the page...

Please read the installation instrucions when you use it.
