By Karl Benson
Link to Mod | Support Topic | Demo | Donate

Compatibility
For SMF 1.1.x ONLY

Introduction
Enables you to show the pagerank of urls in posts using either
[pagerank=http://www.mortons-solicitors.co.uk]Mortons-Solicitors.co.uk[/pagerank]
or
[pagerank]http://www.mortons-solicitors.co.uk[/pagerank]

Features
o Admin setting [via Admin > Features & Options]
- Enable PageRank on Profiles (for users websites)
o BBCode Button
o Caches pageranks in the database for 7 days
- For faster performance (and since PR changes very rarely)
- Automatically clears old pageranks for efficiency
o Supports Languages
- English/English-utf8
- English_British/English_British-utf8
- Turkish/Turkish-utf8 (Thanks to Kapadokyali)
I welcome translations for other languages. Please post the translated language strings in the Support Topic.

Installation
Simply install the package to install on the SMF Default Core Theme ONLY.

Manual edits will be required for ALL themes (other than SMF Default Core Theme) which have a custom Profile.template.php and/or Post.template.php.

To add the BBCode button to the Post.template.php (IF the theme has a custom Post.template.php)
Open Post.template.php
FIND

Code Select Expand

'list' => array('code' => 'list', 'before' => '[list]\n[li]', 'after' => '[/li]\n[li][/li]\n[/list]', 'description' => $txt[261]),
ADD AFTER

Code Select Expand

array(),
'pagerank' => array('code' => 'pagerank', 'before' => '[pagerank]', 'after' => '[/pagerank]','description' => $txt['pagerank_desc']),

To add the PageRank to members profiles for their website (IF the theme has a custom Profile.template.php)
Open Profile.template.php
FIND

Code Select Expand

<td><a href="', $context['member']['website']['url'], '" target="_blank">', $context['member']['website']['title'], '</a>
ADD AFTER

Code Select Expand

<br/>';
// Show pagerank of Members Websites on their profile (if enabled)
if(($modSettings['usepagerankonprofiles']) && (!empty($context['member']['website']['url'])))
echo pagerank($context['member']['website']['url']);

echo '
      
You will also need to place a copy of the pagerank.gif in the images/bbc folder of EACH of your themes (eg Themes/{themename}/images/bbc)
(Note the rest of the images are called from the images folder of the SMF Default Core Theme)

If your theme has its own versions of the language files Modifications.english.php and/or Modifications.english-utf8.php, OR if your using a language other than those supported (listed above) by the mod then you will need to copy the language strings into each custom version of those files.

FIND

Code Select Expand

?>
ADD BEFORE (and translate as necessary the language strings)

Code Select Expand

$txt['usepagerankonprofiles'] = 'Use PageRank on Profiles';
$txt['pr'] = 'PR:';
$txt['pagerank'] = 'PageRank #';
$txt['pagerank_desc'] = 'Google PageRank';
$txt['pagerank_outof'] = 'out of 10';

uploaded v1.1.  No need for anyone using 1.0 to upgrade.
The only change is that I've added Turkish language support (Thanks to Kapadokyali)

I don't understand what this mod does.  Care to clarify?

[karlbenson]

It enables users to post a link and have its Google PageRank shown.
Basically it finds out the pagerank of links using the pagerank bbcode.  Pagerank can affect search engine positioning in google and is an algorithm that includes how popular/how many links back to that link there is in google.
Eg
[pagerank]http://www.simplemachines.org[/pagerank]

would come back
http://www.simplemachines.org PR:8 {imagebar representing 8/10}

For more information on google pagerank see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagerank
