Gt nextgen and user info block behaviour

Sells PC To Pay For Divorce Joined: Posts: 5661

Ok first issue what i wanna solve is the user info block i use in the site(matyscripts)
I used the block converter http://gt-nextgen.com/modules.php?name=Block_Converter
and that went fine i guess but i think im missing something.
Cause the link on the block to messages is messages.html ,als the newest member scroll shows proper html link but those online and sit at news..index still shows modules etc...News ,so not converted.
Where did that go wrong?

Can look at it another way
Why do u need to have the user a/c and such links so the can be optumised for spridering anyway?
Also in the interest of members privacy, why have their member details avalible for non members.
I made my user detail /member list links only visable when logged in. Not just in user_info but other areas to.

Is there any NEED to have links to things like where is, members details show for visitors and SE? if not why worry about rewrite on them?
The where is links are covered by the forum links in modules, task bar links, lastest posts links.
And why have members details show in SE searches at all, in particular MSN and yahoo, google u can prevent these with google site map editing ...sure usually rated very low but they are there.

well this isnt realy helping much...
I could use any help as to what the links should be in the block cause they abviously werent edited using the gt nextgen block generator.

Is your line similar to these 2 (from my scrolling last 10 posts block)

Code:

$content .= "<img src=\"/images/blocks/book.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"><a href=\"forums.html?amp;file=viewtopic&amp;p=$topic_last_post_id#$topic_last_post_id\"STYLE=\"text-decoration: none\"><b> $topic_title </b></a><br><font class=\"content\">";

Code:

$content .= "<a href=\"forums.html?amp;file=viewforum&amp;f=$forum_id\">$forum_name</a> on $post_time</i></font><br><br>";

That needs to be converted to a html link?

Edit: Thanks for the conversion link above I used it to convert the block and it messed up then I used it to convert the lines above one by one and it worked sweet as
