11 years ago I strongly confirm (I used to be SEO consultant from 2008 to 2011)
Especially for a classifieds ads website where the text is sparse and with only 1 main picture (right, can have more but...)
It's why KeyWords used in the URL of the image re inforce the relevance / adequacy of
the KeyWords found in the <title>, <h1>, <hx> and the description of the ad (aka the text)
I run a hughe site with classifieds and a lot of users came searching for images, a good idea is to use images like this
right. And these are Google recommandations as well
P.S. the name of the pic is already SEO-friendly :
$file_name = friendly_url($title).'_'.$i.strtolower(substr($file_name, strrpos($file_name, '.')));
but $file_name could have been renamed instead of using the original name from the $_POST

11 years ago P.S. I already implement that functionnality in a strongly customized version based upon v.1.7.6
it involved quite a lot of changes due to the
function getPostImages($idPost,$date,...) based of the DATE of the post!!!
it was a good opportunity to improve that function as it was an extensive(?) call to scandir() in it
Same story regarding the function upload_images_form that needed a $date to store the picture(s)
P.S. If I could "connect" to this GitHub repository, I'd be pleased to send you Pull Requests. There are dozen in the pipeline ;)

11 years ago Hola
we are working on 2.0
Why to rewrite all? Will performance be better with a framework? And memory footprint? aso...
Right, maintenance should be easier

11 years ago maintenance...and next features easier to develop...I hate the current code goes against my engineering principles.
On monday a Slobodan (I hired him) is going to start working only for this and I am going to do as much as possible also, so any help would be awesome!
regards.

11 years ago I hate the current code goes against my engineering principles.
I too...
VERY messy,
TOO easy to break
aso...
but the good thing is it's fast and with a Very light memory footprint Important for high traffic websites IMHO, even if there are numerous ways nowadays to improve the pages load time of a website
Btw, I don't understand why query cache does not work, I will check it later

11 years ago yes!! we love open source :D
instead of /yyyy/mm/dd/id.jpg
something more SEO-friendly like
/pictures/category/picture-slug.jpg
? or ?
/pictures/location/picture-slug.jpg
? or ?
/pictures/category/location/picture-slug.jpg
? or ?
/pictures/location/category/picture-slug.jpg
Which one is better? In what case? etc...
