Due to the short time at Mambo i have a question about the sef.php:

Did search engines indexing iframes or wrapped pages? Got this question but have no answer. If not how to make it able to get indexed.



Means what? Breaking the links more to the SEF way?

i.e

http://support.wh-solution.com/index.php?option=com_vbridge&Itemid=37&file=showthread.php&t=1

into something like this:

http://support.wh-solution.com/component/option,com_vbridge/Itemid,37/file,showthread.php/t,1/


Yeah. And also since vbridge might be using iFrame, there can be problems with search engines indexing. I am not a SEF expert, but just want to avoid any confusion later on.

Search engines will not index iframes or frames in general.

To force a search engine to index a frame u can use the sitemap technique. For Google u can use Google sitemaps, for other search engines u will need to built a page that can only be crawled by search engines and does a redirect when requested otherwise.
