Yet another package that needs specific SEO'ing. It is fascinating working in packages, and seeing the different variables available in different places.

Now the meat of the Cinq articles SEO.

one php file change
articles.php

After:
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

Add:
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'articles');


Template changes

cinqarticles_shell

change the orientation of the title so that the $title2 is first.

Add a meta description. The $title variables are not available to the headinclude template as far as I can see.

There are two parts that use the same template. So I have split them to allow for specific optimization of the categories.

<if condition="$title2=='News Home'">
		<title>Football Articles - Football News - FootballTalk.org</title>
	<meta name="keywords" content="football articles news $vboptions[keywords] " />
	<meta name="description" content="FootballTalk Football Articles and News. Where the world talks about football - news, forums, friendly bets-Interact with other fans around the world." />

<else />
<if condition='$catname'>
		<title> $catname Articles - $catname News - FootballTalk.org</title>
	<meta name="keywords" content="$catname articles news $vboptions[keywords] " />
	<meta name="description" content="Discuss '$catname' on FootballTalk.org Football forum-where the world talks about football. '$catname'-articles,forums, friendly bets-Interact with other football fans around the world." />

<else />
		<title>$title2 - FootballTalk.org</title>
	<meta name="keywords" content="$title2 $vboptions[keywords] " />
	<meta name="description" content="Discuss '$title2' on FootballTalk.org Football forum-where the world talks about football. '$title2'-articles,forums, friendly bets-Interact with other football fans around the world." />

</if></if>

headinclude template

after:
<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin $vboptions[templateversion]" />

add
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='articles'"><else />

before:
<!-- CSS Stylesheet -->

add
</if>

replace template navbar_link with the following:

<if condition="$show['breadcrumb']">
	<span class="navbar"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost_1.gif"  alt="" class="inlineimg" /> <a href="$nav_url">$nav_title</a></span>
<else />
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='articles'">
<if condition="$nav_title=='Article Directory'">
	<h1 class="h1navbar">Football Articles - Football News</h1></strong><div class="navbar2">Football Articles - Football News. Discuss <strong>Football Articles</strong> on FootballTalk.org. Talk about <em>Football Articles</em> - where the world talks Football.</div><strong>
<else />
	<h1 class="h1navbar">$nav_title</h1></strong><div class="navbar2">$nav_title Article - $nav_title News.<br />Discuss <strong>$nav_title</strong> on FootballTalk.org. Talk about <em>$nav_title</em> - where the world talks Football.</div><strong>
</if>
<else />
$nav_title
</if>
</if>
</if>

Hope that is all. I have only done one seo job with cinq articles, and have not had the chance to use the above instructions for a second install.
