For the past 2-4 days I have been cleaning up Mseo and fixing a lot of bugs.
I have also started to write a very detailed documentation of MinervaSEO which will be updated every time there is a new feature, or bug that arises. It can be found at http://icelabz.net/wiki/

I am planning on hopefully releasing a final release on Saturday.

The logs will be the following:

• Improved documentation
• Improved error handling
• Addition of a few options for bots
• Addition of canonical link in META
• Title html entities fix
• Meta tags fix
• Redirect fix
• Error 404 handling fix
• New Feature

After that I will try to complete the conversion from IPB 2.x.x. to IPB 3.x.x. and it should  be ready next week or somet time later.

First impression on converting MSEO (IPBSEO) to Invision Power Board 3

Moderately easy, I have been playing around with the sytem for around 3-4 hours today and I was pretty impressed with the application folder system. It is quite nifty and powerful. The installation system and development tools are a true helper while importing the settings.

So far I have been able to get the acronymiser and secure redirects working with only 2 file edits. This means good news and I could get a working version within the first or second week of June.

For the past few weeks I have been able to completely re-write MSEO from scratch ontop of MinervaSEO lite.
I have decided in the end to re-implement the FURL system. But this time the FURL is not too strict and will allow .html&hl=…… additional queries.
This should in short term help in the FURL for IPB 2.x.x

I will be trying to get a complete and fully tested release in 2-3 weeks. But by the end of this week I should be getting some sort of daily script release on http://minervaseo.com for people to see and test it.

One feature that will not make it on MSL is the sitemap, I have decided to remove it completely and put it as a separate module for people to use. Read the rest of this entry »

Hi all, in the view that IPB 3 is going to be released soon a few guides will be posted up on this blog to help new and advance users to understand the new structure and interface.

So for the first in the series I have created a quick overview of the skinning system of IPB 3.x.x. This should help new users to get familiar with the interface.
As this is my first full production screencast I would like some review on how to make it better.
