ATM I am working on the furl to disallow dupe content for topics and forums after that I am going to be playing around with the sitemap a little more to include furl.
After everything is working I am releasing 0.0.4 to the public within a week or so.
Sorry I haven’t been posting up lately, been busy at work…
Will this release include the FURLs?
yes it will include the furl.
I am aiming on furling the topic and forum pages first and then look at other pages of the forum.
from what I have at the moment it is very flexible but the one problem I can see that might affect its flexibility is porting it to the admincp as I may need to write the data to ips cache or settings so that I can call it back again.
Or even better I could setup a settings page where the url settings are only defined once upon installation so that it cannot be changed later on. As if you changed the url’s later on it would damage Page ranking of your pages as you will present the Search engines with fresh urls.
what do you guys think?
hard code the url settings or make it changeable via admincp?
I like the second option. It sounds a lot better - there are a lot of people out there who like fidgeting with settings and inevitably screw up something in the process, whether it be in the short-run long-run.
I think you should allow them to be changed. However, is it possible to store them in a file that could be locked on the server? Then, on the setting page put a big RED warning if your settings file is unlocked and a blurb about why you should lock it and why you should not change it. I’d hate to make the wrong choice on installation and not be able to modify it later.
