Google caching thousands of duplicate pages with /lang/lang/lang issue

[ctrenks]

Ok, Look at the page

http://www.allfreechips.com/ga/gl/afc_contests/selectpayment.html

as its a duplicate of

http://www.allfreechips.com/ga/afc_contests/selectpayment.html

Long time ago when we installed the vBet we had an issue where it would allow multiple lang "folders" so now I have a very large SEO problem with thousands of duplicate pages.

the abouve should not be /ga/gl/ it should only be /ga/ and that them becomes a duplicate

I needt to re-direct all these incoorect folders to the correct single folder asap.

Please fill me in on a .htaccess mod to correct this please.

Thank you!
Chris

Agg and if i turn it off, the forum homepage does not appear! Somthing is way out of whack

[ctrenks]

Im in a real bad spot here! please help me out!

[ctrenks]

OK, I was able to re-upload the old vbrt and im back to working! I would like to get to the latest version though so I can remove these multi lang pages

[ctrenks]

I made a 404 error trigger in htaccess, although I would really prefer to R=301 redirect these pages

RewriteRule ^/?(af|sq|ar|be|bg|ca|zh-CN|hr|cs|da|nl|en|et|tl|fi|fr|gl|de|el|iw|hi|hu|is|id|ga|it|ja|ko|lv|lt|mk|ms|mt|no|fa|pl|pt|ro|ru|sr|sk|sl|es|sw|sv|zh-TW|th|tr|uk|vi|cy|yi)/(af|sq|ar|be|bg|ca|zh-CN|hr|cs|da|nl|en|et|tl|fi|fr|gl|de|el|iw|hi|hu|is|id|ga|it|ja|ko|lv|lt|mk|ms|mt|no|fa|pl|pt|ro|ru|sr|sk|sl|es|sw|sv|zh-TW|th|tr|uk|vi|cy|yi)* http://www.allfreechips.com/Allfreechips [L,QSA]

/Allfreechips then triggers my google 404 error page.

Alos noted my sitemap is broke, and if i run manually i get this

Warning: strtr() [function.strtr]: The second argument is not an array in /home/allfreec/public_html/phpBB2/includes/functions_vbseo_url.php on line 488


and that line is

if (false !== strpos($text, ');
global $stylevar;
if ($stylevar['charset'] != 'utf-8') {
$text = preg_replace('/&#([0-9]+);/esiU', 'convert_int_to_utf8(\'\\1\')', $text);
}

When i try to view the sitemap i get a intermal error.

Hello,

Now I don't know where is the issue. Still with double lang folder in url or not?
ahhh sorry because yesterday I gave you a solution for 4 version of vB but you have 3 my mistake, sorry once again.

here you have a solution to eliminate double redirect from url:
1. open and make a copy of this file:
forum root/includes/vbenterprisetranslator_functions_hooks.php
2. in this file find:

function vbet_global_start(&$template_hook) { 

3. in this function find:

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] && $vbulletin->options['vbenterprisetranslator_guestfilecache_use'] 

4. put BEFORE this code:

if ('REQUEST_URI' == $vbulletin->options['vbenterprisetranslator_linkstype'] && $_REQUEST['goto'] != 'newpost' && $_REQUEST['language'])
        {
            require_once(DIR. '/includes/vbenterprisetranslator_functions_url_tracking.php');
            $url = str_replace('/'.$_REQUEST['language'].'/', '/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
            
            if(preg_match('/\/('.VBET_LANGUAGESMATCH.')\//',$url)) 
            {
                
                $url = preg_replace('/('.VBET_LANGUAGESMATCH.')\//','',$url);
                exec_header_redirect($url);
            }
        } 

Secondly. I don't know what issue do you have when you would like to upgrade vBET. please give me some example. Please check all configuration settings in admincp->vBET->main (url engine etc.) and paste here your .htaccess file.
If you still can't upgrade to new version - please sent to me by PM your admincp and FTP details and I will fix it.

Thirdly. Did you integrate your sitemap generator with vBET? here you have a solution step by step how to integrate this mod: http://www.vbenterprisetranslator.co...tegration.html

[ctrenks]

Yes, multiple issues

One, I want to 301 all the pages with the error, now that code you posted does a rediredt, but is it an actual hard 301 redirect?


2nd, Upgrading to the newer 3.x version everything worked except i could not view the threads, just got a blank page.

3rd my sitemap was integrated when i had the paid installation of vbet a while back, so now it generates a sitemap but you get a Internal Error when you try to access it, and also the error i reported abouve when you generate a sitemap.
