James,
Has it helped increase traffic to your forum? Do you think Google would penalize for the redirects? |

Okay here is my version. Some features are:- Snitz v3.4 admin authorization and response.write
- All topics in any type of private forum are excluded
- index page is generated
- Option to include archived topics
You will need to modify the variables on lines 52, 56 and 60.
Updated to work with Access, MySql and SQL

I'm sure it has increased it some. I can view my Active Users list most of the time and find several guest reading archived topics. I believe most of them are coming in through a link (though some read them through the forum). another tip is that you can usually sumbit the link to the generate index file directly to some search engines. |

Kevin,
Just tried your script out using a MySql database and got this error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e09'
[TCX][MyODBC]You have an error in your SQL syntax near '1 TOPIC_ID FROM FORUM_TOPICS ORDER BY TOPIC_ID DESC' at line 1
/forum/kwhippscript.asp, line 65
?? It looks like a MySql problem ??

I'm sorry but I have not worked with MySql. With MySql, how would you form the SQL statement to select only the highest (or lowest) numbered topic? Whoever can answer that question answers Webbo's problem.
Update:
Thanks to the good people here the answer lied in the base code. I have updated my code above and it should would with Access, MySql and SQL. |

Hey, I hope people still post in this forum - I need help with something! We own a server containing Win2kServer on it. I've set the directory on Line 108 to the correct path, and it accepts the path. But i get permission denied everytime. I've set the Read/Write permissions on, what more do i need to do to get this stinkin thing to work? |

I deleted a topic (#1 actually) and now when I goto run this mod it sees no topic # 1 and stops... is there an actual post somewhere of this that is bug free and fixed? |

I just wanted to say that this Mod is sweet!! I was going to find a way to write out all my forums to HTML files to help in search engine placement.. Then I thought, hey I better see if it's been done before.. Lo and behold here it is.. It's done 8000 topics so far.. It's slowed down, but still going.. I hope that it makes it all the way through the 15,000 topics on my site.. Once the archives are done, I won't have to do them again.. |
Have fun and be good!!

I hate to sound stupid but what exactly does this mod do anyway? It can create topics automatically for you? Where will the subject come from? hmm, i'm not getting the point at all. |

What happens is that the mod converts all your topics (and replies) in your forums to a .htm in a directory that you choose (which needs to have have write access).quote: Originally posted by EmperorNeo

Then when a robot crawls your site it finds all your topics and spiders them. Just some robots can not spider (this is now changing). So it doesn't create new topics as such, it just drags them out of your Database for the robot to pick up better. View the readme for install instructions.
