Flarum SEO

010101

MikeJones Interesting. I think this SEO extension works, but it doesn't play nice with other extensions. For example, I installed this SEO extension, and right after that I also installed the "necrobumping" extension from the Friends of Flarum team. Then my site stopped working. I checked the error log and the error log was blaming this SEO extension. But, once I disabled the Friends of Flarum necrobumping extension, my site starting working again and the SEO extension is working great.

I don't know what the issue is. My only advice to @JasperVriends is to check the code to see if it is coded in such a way to where it may not play nice with other extensions? Is there some naming convention, or line of code somewhere that other extensions also might use which causes conflicts? I have no idea.

I'm back from the schoolstuff, I got my free time back 😁 I will work on the plugin tomorrow and update it!

MikeJones This is a great idea! Something for in the future 😀

MikeJones Thanks for the log (and the GitHub issue report), I'll point that out tomorrow!

010101 I actually do not know yet. I will test my plugin in combination with that plugin on my dev server tomorrow. I will fix the problems if I can find what's going wrong!

010101 I have not experienced these issues, added the same plugin and had no issues.

010101 Flarum beta 8.x loads extension assets in enabled order, so try different combinations of that.

Update 0.3-beta

I've released an update!

Fixed problem PHP notice reported by @iivanov
Fixed markdown code in page descriptions
Fixed flooding logs after a tag was not found
Corrected discussion URL for the QADiscussion class
Thanks to @ahrasis for his pull request on GitHub, Bahasa Malaysia language is added!
Also, German, French and Frisian (a Dutch dialect) have been added to the plugin

Run the following command on your server to update the plugin:

composer update v17development/flarum-seo

Let me know if you have any trouble with anything 🙂

010101 I've tried different combinations of plugin ordering as jordanjay29 suggested, but could not reproduce any problems. Are you able to report an issue with the errorlog on GitHub?

MikeJones

JasperVriends no problem, let me know if you need anything else!

Hello @JasperVriends,

I was wondering if you have an ETA for 0.3-beta release which has the view page refresh bug-fix.

Thanks

MikeJones

JasperVriends I just updated my bug report with the information you needed. Let me know if that helps or if you need something else!

I will hold off updating until you look at that, thanks again for the help!

Just a quick update. In less than a month, our forum went to the first and second pages (depending on the country you are in) when you search Graphic Design Forum, which is absolutely insane. We weren't even in top5 before. According to Google Analytics, we've got 61 organic visitors today.

JasperVriends

Victor12 Awesome! Great to hear that! Let me know if you have any improvement-ideas! 🙂

Kakifrucht That is weird, are you sure you are on beta-0.3? As I look at the beta-0.3 code on GitHub I see an if statement on that line: https://github.com/v17development/flarum-seo/blob/0.3-beta/src/Managers/QADiscussion.php#L86

If you go to to the admin panel, and then extensions, do you see 0.3-beta as version number next to plugin name?

Alkir There is no need to edit the robots.txt for changing the path as the plugin takes the base url that is set in your config. If you edit that one with https it will automatically switch to https.

And what do you mean with host string?

Kakifrucht

This error shows up occasionally, when pages are being accessed that contain mediaembed links.

157042 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Notice: Only variables should be passed by reference in /path/vendor/v17development/flarum-seo/src/Managers/QADiscussion.php on line 86" while reading response header from upstream

I have the Update 0.3-beta installed.

Alkir

how to add your own string to robots.txt

I need to add a Host string and change the url of the site map from http to https

Kakifrucht

JasperVriends Oh wow, looks like I wasn't. I re-ran the command, and it showed that there was nothing to update. composer.lock revealed that 0.1 was installed, for some reason. Reinstalled and now works fine. Sorry about that, and thank you!

pxnji

JasperVriends I need to edit robots.txt to block google bot for indexing https://domain/all?Page=1, https://domain/all?Page=2 and so on

Kakifrucht

Google just reported that they indexed a "QAPage" without a "acceptedAnswer" or "suggestedAnswer" attribute.
I don't understand why the reported page shows up as QAPage with this extension installed, as there aren't even any questions there. I don't have the accepted answers extension installed either.

pxnji

Kakifrucht You should read all the information above. This i paste it for you.

Default: Question-Answer results for discussions

By default, this extension creates an Question Answer result for discussions in Google and other supported search engines using the QAPage schema.org tags. Check the screenshot below how that looks like. However, this setting will load all posts with usernames and likes. There is no caching for this yet.

This can be heavy for your server. When this makes your forum slow, you can turn back to the default SEO and check if that helps. The only way (right now) is to go to your database, then the table settings, and add the key disable_fancy_discussion_seo with the value 1

JasperVriends

Kakifrucht If I'm correct it should not affect the search results for the websites. But I will improve the way how you need to disable that. But for now just change that through the database as pxnji suggests 🙂

neogeo There is already a bugreport for that on the GitHub: v17development/flarum-seo10, but thanks for reporting!

Kakifrucht

pxnji Thanks, but should that cause an error with Google though?

pxnji

Kakifrucht i installed it on my flarum and doing that setting, until now i dont get any error relating to QA pages

MikeJones

Kakifrucht do you have the likes Exstension enabled?

I'm testing this fantastic extension now, and looks like this duplicate some code.

to be exact, the favicon code:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="https://www.domain.com/assets/favicon-cxgrdvww.png">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="https://www.domain.com/assets/favicon-cxgrdvww.png">

and the Google Analytics code


   // inject google analytics code by flagrow/flarum-ext-analytics
    (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
                (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
        m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
    })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

    ga('create', 'UA-103365293-2', 'auto');
   // inject google analytics code by flagrow/flarum-ext-analytics
    (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
                (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
        m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
    })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

    ga('create', 'UA-103365293-2', 'auto');

I tried to empty the cache and so... but when I activated the SEO extensions.. this code is showed twice.

It is normal? or just happened to me?
