Addition of rel="alternate" tags

[tavenger5]

Can an option be added to add tags to translated pages:

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="es" href="http://site.com/es/thread_etc.html" />

More info here: rel="alternate" hreflang="x" - Webmaster Tools Help

Accepted

Great! In the meantime could you tell me how this could be added manually if it is not too complicated?

When we do that, and if it's a simple change then we will publish a quick fix for people who will not want to wait for the new release.

I would really like to see this sooner than later as it may help with this issue I'm having: http://www.vbenterprisetranslator.co...e-content.html

Quick fix for this feature is:

1. Open file includes/vbenterprisetranslator_functions_hooks.php
2. Find code:
   

   if (!VBET_IS_ACTUAL_IGNORED && (!$vbulletin->options['vbenterprisetranslator_flags_guestsonly'] || !$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])) { 

3. PUT AFTER it this code:
   

   require_once(DIR. '/includes/vbenterprisetranslator_functions_lang.php');
   require_once(DIR. '/includes/vbenterprisetranslator_functions_url.php');
   $active = vbet_getActiveTranslations();
   $host = substr($vbulletin->options['bburl'],0,strlen($vbulletin->options['bburl'])-strlen($vbulletin->options['vbenterprisetranslator_forumdir']));
   foreach ($active as $key => $value)
   {
   $template_hook['headinclude_css'] .= '<link rel=\'alternate\' hreflang=\''.$key.'\' href=\''.$host.vbet_createURL($key).'\' />';
   } 

This quick fix will add "alternate" tags to all your pages. In the next release this option will be configurable. In the next release we will add this feature.

thank you! really appreciate it!

hrm, I was under the impression that the base language should not be an 'alternate' page.
