Draft Specification for SEO for Coppermine

<< < (2/2)

tfischer:
I was just pondering this some more, and unless I'm missing something, this might actually be a pretty easy mod. 

For categories, instead of writing out:
http://mysite.com/cpg/index-12.html,

have the plugin write out:

http://mysite.com/cpg/categoryname-subcategory1-subcategory2-index-12.html

categoryname, subcategory1, and subcategory2 would of course be actual category names.  The trick is, that these would not be used for anything except SEO.  Mod Rewrite would remove all of this stuff, and the actual URL used internally would still be:

http://mysite.com/cpg/index.php?cat=12

This completely avoids my "what happens if you rename stuff" question because basically the whole "path" is there just for looks, and will be stripped out.  Renaming would change the path, but both the old and new versions would evalutate to the same internal link.


You could do something similar for albums and images:  come up with a URL that contained parent category names and maybe keywords from the image, but they would be 'fake' for SEO, and would be stripped down to the same php url's used today.

I'd appreciate thoughts on this.  It sounds easy enough to implement that I could do it even though I'm very green when it comes to php stuff...

Due to the existing issues with the SEF_URLS plugin it has been removed from the core. It will be available as a plugin for cpg1.5.x and you're welcome to use and improve it with cpg1.5.x, but this thread here deals with SEO improvements directly in coppermine's core. Please review the thread http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,46718.0.html
