Disable Previous/Next thread

[nfn]

Hi,

Where do I disable the link bellow the threads to the Previous and Next one?

I see a conditional there at showthread.php
<if condition="$show['next_prev_links']">

Thanks

The code is contained in the showthread.php file.

// next/prev links don't work for search engines or non-lastpost sort orders
$show['next_prev_links'] = (!$show['search_engine']
    AND ($foruminfo['defaultsortfield'] == 'lastpost' OR !$foruminfo['defaultsortfield'])
);

Commend it out if you don't want it to show.

// next/prev links don't work for search engines or non-lastpost sort orders
//$show['next_prev_links'] = (!$show['search_engine']
//    AND ($foruminfo['defaultsortfield'] == 'lastpost' OR !$foruminfo['defaultsortfield'])
//);

[nfn]

So $show['next_prev_links'] by default aren't shown to search engines?

You don't need to (and shouldn't) modify the php file directly.

Just go to the SHOWTHREAD template and remove/comment out the following:

<if condition="$show['next_prev_links']">
<!-- next / previous links -->
<br />
<div class="smallfont" align="center">
<strong>&laquo;</strong>
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$threadid&amp;goto=nextoldest" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[prev_thread]</a>
|
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$threadid&amp;goto=nextnewest" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[next_thread]</a>
<strong>&raquo;</strong>
</div>
<!-- / next / previous links -->
</if>

[nfn]

But are these links seen by bots?

I setup mine like this:

<if condition="$show['next_prev_links'] and !$show['guest']">
...
</if>

Bots see what Guests see. View your forum as a guest and you'll have your answer.

I know that but, !$show['search_engine'] means show to guests but not to bots?
