vRewrite - SEOed URLs for vBulletin

[dizzy100]

ARGHHHHHHHHHH totally confused.

I see a number of discussions on it but no idea which templates to edit for some of the changes. Then theres reworked solutions etc and the catagories one totally confused me.

I have the main arcade rewrite working perfectly but after that it gets to be a grey area.

I'll keep trying but so far no luck :(

[Immortal]

You can use the feature "Search in templates". Anything that begins with RewriteRule goes into your .htaccess file. Does that help any?

I installed the hack working fine but one problem on main forum index page , when i try to click on the latest forum thread from forumhome it doesnt bring me to that latest thread, because it doesnt include the name of forum in the url. Hence link gets error.

any way to solve this?

[Selene]

and yes i did downlaod the current .zip that there is rightnow. so i suppose im using the latest version of the hack

look at this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=939479&postcount=758) it has alot of the tweaks... then there is a few more in the pages following that page... i think maybe the next 3 or 4 pages after that... but that is all of what you need.... also read on that post the original post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=890580&postcount=368)

[Selene]

DementedMindz can u help with the problem that i posted

[DementedMindz]

i think they may want the problems reported in the bug tracker this way they can tell what is going on... but i think a few things to let them know is if you have vbadvanced installed or how you have things setup... its hard to tell what is going on with out seeing the problem...

thats what i did but although your original arcade worked perfectly, i couldn;t quite get to gripes with the discussion proceeding that :( It was all over the place.

Take categories for instance.

One part was covered and the other part wasn;t.

So it was :-


<a style="text-decoration:none" href="arcade.php?categoryid=$id">

becomes

<a style="text-decoration:none" href="arcade-categoryid=$id.html">

and then you say

<a href="arcade.php?barsize=1<if condition="$categoryid">

I am not actually too sure on that one, hmm, sorry.

I tried that and my catgories buttons shrink to nothing and are then inaccessible for instance.

its just too fragmented ...

The original v3arcade you did worked perfectly but after that the discussion went over my head ... :(

[Selene]

can someone help me too? hehe

[DementedMindz]

dizzy100 you have to read what was posted i originally had a alt layout installed... since then i switched back to the stock so the code above you posted will work on stock v3arcade you just need the rewrite rule in htaccess...

Asking over and over is not going to solve your problem. Nor am I going to do it if you can't take the time to a) search the thread b) download the beta version by searching the thread. I'm not your own personal tech support if you can't take 2 seconds for something I do for free, and get $0 and which you are getting at no cost.

ok chill i did try to search but it was 60 pages so its not easy to read all.

anyhow thanks for a great hack.

i found the beta link at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=935077&highlight=beta#post935077

now the problem is i have currently installed 1.0 so do i uninstall the 1.0 before i use the beta 1.5 ?

I just have a small tendency to not be happy when people ask redundant questions, when searching the thread will solve most (if not all) issues :)

You'll want to check "Overwrite existing" when importing the product, and overwrite the .htaccess. Hope that helps :)

[VTXCafe.com]

I am looking @ the XML file and their is no such code that has "ORDER BY DATELINE" in it...my guess is you've got an old XML file....

This is the real file you want, latest and greatest RC3..

Ok, I had just upgraded to RC2 I guess, I just installed RC3 so we will give it a shot. Thanks!

Well unlucky with rc3... forums are not accessible anymore - posts are... hm... :(

I've used the htaccess generator...

Maybe next rc or final :)

Seems to work good so far except "new post" link.

I have it as http://www.vtxcafe.com/search.php?do=getnew but when I click the link it shows as a dead link http://www.vtxcafe.com/search-getnew.html/

Here's the fix (htaccess generator also fixes this)

RewriteRule ^search-(.*).html/$ search.php?do=$1 [L]


Replace wit old version

Ok, I did that and the search works but now it has "computer-topicshelp" at the top left.

What is the exact link? the search returned no results for me....(the text @ the top of the screen is expected and already fixed...just remove the echo statemnet)

[VTXCafe.com]

I have it turned off, the link above will show new post but when you click it I get the no thread comment, I disabled it again because members were posting thet could not read some threads.

If you are online now I will turn it on then you can click the link and see the results.

vRewrite 1.5 stable has been released. To upgrade from either 1.0 or 1.5 RC# simply reimport the plugin and check "Overwrite" and reupload your .htaccess file. Please continue to keep all bugs and feature requests at the bug tracker.

Support for 1.0 will no longer be offered, and you will simply be told to upgrade to the stable 1.5.

Same Error like the 1.0 Version.

make sure htacccess is correct.
admincp -> Vbulletin options -> vrewrite.

[yayvb]

I'll give it a try perhaps. I definitely want to be using the product, but since both of my sites use the comment system and the comment system doesn't work I can't really use this until that issue is fixed, or another comment system is introduced.

Also I was previously having issues with the links on the xstats not working either in some cases. I disabled for both of my sites but would love to try again in the future. :)

[Immortal]

Once we are certain 1.5 is bug free, we can begin work on fixing others' hacks to properly work with vRewrite :)

So i tried some configurations. No i found the Problem.

If i click on a link like :

it turns me to this format : http://www.politikstube.de/forum/konfessionen-und-religionen/showthread.php?p=29930#post29930 !?

The correct Thread - but what about that different generated URL?s ?

Some of the Threads get URL?s like this at Portal and TopX (not all !):

http://www.politikstube.de/t--3338-new.html :confused:

I thought these are the Problems that are the Reason for the 1.5 Release ??? :surprised:

@Immortal - sure i used it before as you can see it for the vbseo_sitemap. ;)

At this Time this Hack is absolutey useless like the first Version and nothing is changed to me.

I only wondering if you did not understand at the first Version where are the Problems or if this are Problems with the german Version of vBulletin. Anyway ...... waiting for a Wonder.

There are no exotic Hacks installed. And as me and a lot of others Users are submitting this Bug for V1.0 you will say that you know this issue and will fix it at V1.5.

[vasudeva]

Also getting 'Not Found' errors.

Just installed the new 1.5 release on a clean build of vB 3.53. I don't have any hacks installed I can imagine conflicting.

The product is enabled through the admincp.

mod_rewrite is working on other vhosts on the same box.

I've got the forumroot under a directory called 'f'.

I made the edits to the three templates mentioned in the install.html.

I've tried using both the default .htaccess rewrite rules and the ones generated by the auto-generator in the other thread.

If I navigate to /f/, I see the forum display as I expect.

If I click on a link to a subforum, I get:

Not Found

The requested URL /f/f-boston-beer-party-15.html was not found on this server.

If I click on a link to the latest updated thread in the 'Last Post' column, I get:

Not Found

The requested URL /showthread.php was not found on this server.

I've tried adding 'RewriteBase /f' to the .htacces as specified in the install.html, but with that option, I get:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

and the apache2 error log shows:

mod_rewrite: maximum number of internal redirects reached. Assuming configuration error. Use 'RewriteOptions MaxRedirects' to increase the limit if neccessary.

(Incidentally, the install.html lists that option with a space, as 'Rewrite Base', which causes Apache to report an error. Probably want to fix that...)

Now, if I manually prepend the /f/ directory onto the rules, like so:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(showthread\.php)$ f/showthread.php?&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

then clicking on the link on forumdisplay's 'Last Post' column does work as desired, but only for that one rule. Everything else I can think to try still breaks.

Let me know if I've left any info out.

[redlabour]

Is it a german Board ?

[cd1986]

@vasudeva - Does your .htaccess file include RewriteBase /f (if it wasn't generated automatically)?

Got the official 1.5 working nicely on my test forum, also been trying to play about with the file name output...things like threadname-tid instead of t-threadname-id...again it's working fine on my test board, although i get db errors when trying to actvate it on my main board.

But as far as the default mod goes, working just as it should - thanks for producing it. :)

Sorry, didn't see that part of the post 1st time round. Have you tried adding $myurl to the front of the re-written paths instead of /f/ ?

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

anyone else getting this?

[Bhuwan]

if you are NOT rewriting member.php, you need the following in your htaccess file

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(member\.php)$ member.php?$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

[jdingman]

Bhuwan, was that towards me? I am rewriting members.php and that works fine, it was just the search portion that wasn't working...

[morrow]

Ok, I've installed and it appears to be working fine now. I'll test more in tomorrow. Just one question...

How will a post like this "http://www.njflyfishing.com/vBulletin/north-eastern-general-discussion-forum/t-fishing-regulation-question-4368.html"

get spidered?

If I do a google search for, "North Eastern...etc..." Will it come up, or do people have to search for, "north-eastern-...etc..."?

Why the dashes? Also, do I really need the prefix's before each link. Can I remove the dashes? Would it make sense?

Submitting to google like this... SHould I submit, www.mysite.com or www.mysite.com/vBulletin

Thanks!

Thanks!

I got that too, when a user click on "New Post" after they logged in, they get that error message, I found that if you remove the "/" at the end, it will work, but I don't expect my user to know how to to that. I've checked the .htaccess file, notice that rule does not have "/" when the string terminate. I guess is in the interal works of the plugin which I am not sure where to look....anyone?

[Gastongr]

Hi this is a great hack!
i instaled and it's running well.

Just a frew problems (i don't know if they have been posted before, i have searched and haven't found an answer):

1)

In members pages, for example http://www.webmastershelp.com/u-coolguy-244.html

The link to the last post the user has done doesn't work, vbulletin returns the following error
No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

2
When viewing a forum, under the thread titles there is a link to the thread author profile which opens in a new window. that link is like
/u-username-214.html/
instead of
/u-username-214.html
i don't know why but it still loads the page, but with path errors for images and styles.

3

in the /online.php page, when someone is viewing a forum or thread the link to that forum or thread is incorrect, the forum or thread name are missed.
for example
t--334.html

Any help with those issues will be really appreciated.
Thanks for such a great hack.
the best, it's free and unencrypted :D

Please be sure that the base vBulletin sites are rewritten and working...(i.e. showthread, member, forumdisplay .php).

Once you are sure thi sis okay, PLEASE PM me the hacks that are NOT working -- I will begin adding support for these hacks.

Normally we shouldn't have to add support for these hacks. Since we're tring to prevent excessive queries, we're required to cache the data, hence the reason many hacks wmay not work properly with this.

I am certainly willing to add support for these hacks, but will will need members to help us out and post which hacks they use that arent working...

Are you using 1.5 stable? I haven't seen any problems with thread pages with 1.5 stable; perhaops you can give me the exact links you had a problem with?

[Bhuwan]

Ok, I've installed and it appears to be working fine now. I'll test more in tomorrow. Just one question...

How will a post like this "http://www.njflyfishing.com/vBulletin/north-eastern-general-discussion-forum/t-fishing-regulation-question-4368.html"

get spidered?

If I do a google search for, "North Eastern...etc..." Will it come up, or do people have to search for, "north-eastern-...etc..."?

I am not an expert in SEO, so I will not answer this question :).
* Bhuwan hopes a SEO expert hijacks this psot :D lol

Why the dashes? Also, do I really need the prefix's before each link. Can I remove the dashes? Would it make sense?

You could replace the ddashes with anything you want, but my understanding is that it makes most sense.
If you removed the Dashes then you'd have something like this

thread-name-goes-here would actually be:
threadnamegoeshere
very difficult to read

If you replace it with spaces, you would be shown as
thread%20name%20goes etc...

So as you can see, - was the best option :)

Submitting to google like this... SHould I submit, www.mysite.com (http://www.mysite.com) or www.mysite.com/vBulletin (http://www.mysite.com/vBulletin)

Thanks!

Thanks!

Again, I am no SEO Expert, so I will leave this question.

[Bhuwan]

Seem to have it working now.... However it is taking away my images directory... and buttons and such.... hmm?

Like my forum isn't displaying showthread button etc...

the main page is fine just the forums.... they are losing all of their images.

edit: blah I cannot figure out what is causing this... Didn't see any other people with this issue...hmm

Hopefully ou have this resolved. Please holla if you don't.

[Bhuwan]

I got that too, when a user click on "New Post" after they logged in, they get that error message, I found that if you remove the "/" at the end, it will work, but I don't expect my user to know how to to that. I've checked the .htaccess file, notice that rule does not have "/" when the string terminate. I guess is in the interal works of the plugin which I am not sure where to look....anyone?

I made a big BOO BOO when i uploaded the htaccess file
Everyone should edit their htaccess file and remove the existing search rewrite and replae it with

RewriteRule ^search-(.*).html$ search.php?do=$1 [L]


That's assuming that the URL is /search-getnew.html

if you use:/search-getnew.html/
then your htaccess should be this:

RewriteRule ^search-(.*).html/$ search.php?do=$1 [L]

[Bhuwan]

Hi this is a great hack!
i instaled and it's running well.

Just a frew problems (i don't know if they have been posted before, i have searched and haven't found an answer):

1)

In members pages, for example http://www.webmastershelp.com/u-coolguy-244.html

The link to the last post the user has done doesn't work, vbulletin returns the following error

Sounds like an htaccess problem; please pm me your htaccess file.


2
When viewing a forum, under the thread titles there is a link to the thread author profile which opens in a new window. that link is like
/u-username-214.html/
instead of
/u-username-214.html
i don't know why but it still loads the page, but with path errors for images and styles.

I am not sure exacrtly what location your speaking of; can you take a screen shot?

3

in the /online.php page, when someone is viewing a forum or thread the link to that forum or thread is incorrect, the forum or thread name are missed.
for example
t--334.html

This damn problem has become a nightmare for me LOL :D -- still can't get the online.php correct :-(.
I will try again.

[Bhuwan]

Uninstalling again... Cannot change display modes (Hybrid / Linear...etc...). If someone is using Hybrid mode, clicking on 'show more posts below this thread' doesn't work.

Nice hack, just a bit too buggy at this time.
A wihle back I asked if someone needed support for this; I got no response and thus never added this feature
Where were you man :-(

Maybe in the future, but for now these modes are not supported :(
Sorry

[Bhuwan]

Hi bhuwan, nice to hear that :)
could you please check my previous post?, it's the last one of the previous page.
Thanks in advance :)
GastonI think I replied to it... let me know :)

[Bhuwan]

I'll give it a try perhaps. I definitely want to be using the product, but since both of my sites use the comment system and the comment system doesn't work I can't really use this until that issue is fixed, or another comment system is introduced.

Also I was previously having issues with the links on the xstats not working either in some cases. I disabled for both of my sites but would love to try again in the future. :)
ADding support for member that hack is on the way, but if you really want to use this product, why not disable member.php rewriting? :)
PM me a liost of other hacks you use, I am going to start adding support for them now...

I did find a workaround for the user reputation issue- if you click on the number of the post to display the post in it's own window, then you can give user reputation, and it works.


Other problems discovered - you must be logged in to reproduce it. vBradio plugin only works from the main forum home. The link does not work from any other page- ie, diplaying a post or thread. Also, if you attempt to click on names within the "user who have visited the forum today" window, most of the pages will not display the users profile.

I think adding

before $headinclude in your MEMBERINFO template will fix that.

We have internal spiders on the network that need to pickup these pages and it's also for testing our application platforms. We still have a big need for SEO ;)

Will you be adding rewritten rules for the memberlist.php page? Such as memberlist.php/letter/{LETTER} or something of that sort or variance. Rewritting the letter pages and sort pages possibly. This would help if someone doesn't have a sitemap too so search engines can find all the pages. Just wondering if you had plans for that or not. I'm looking forward to the next update :)

those pages could be rewritten and properly formatted to SEs pick them up.

In the online.php page, doesn't have online seo rewritten "http://www.xxxxx.com/online.php?order=asc&sort=username&pp=20&page=1"

"Unknown Location" /forumname/t-threadnamehere-105.html. Will you fix it?

P.S. Great hack, don't have any problems.I'll take a look sometime today

[Bhuwan]

Ive got a problem here on my site with the mod http://www.seostudy.net

everything else is working ok to regards to the hack bar this if you try and click on where it says last post on any of the forums on the home page you will get "No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator" how can this be corrected, thxs in advance.
have you updated your htaccess file? That is the problem - try using the htaccess generator.

[Bhuwan]

Do you think you will be adding the fix for the 'linear / hybrid' modes, etc...? Many of my users are using these and they don't work when the hack is enabled. I'd really love to use this hack and would also donate if it was working.

Very nice hack, but I think a few items were left out.
In the future yes
When is the future? when it comes :)

I'll see what I can do over the next few weeks...

[Bhuwan]

Another bug I have found , any user with a underscore in their name is not found with this.Technically, the underscore should be replaced by a "-"

[Bhuwan]

I'm also having issues now with users having a _ in their username. I wasn't having this problem before in 1.0.x, but now in 1.5 I am having this problem. I ran the htaccess generator too and it's still having the issue.

Edit: whoops, missed what pranism said and just read it. I'm having the same issue.

Edit2: I'm having some issues on my 'members' pages where the 'base' URL isn't showing up above the meta tags and the image paths aren't working or any of the links in the member profiles. Any idea how I would fix this? (it's an internal board for our business so I can't let you preview it (it's a 10.x.x.x address anyway)). thanks!!I will look into both of these issues...thanks

[Bhuwan]

We have internal spiders on the network that need to pickup these pages and it's also for testing our application platforms. We still have a big need for SEO ;)

Edit: That MEMBERINFO insert fixed it, thanks :)

Also, when will the sitemap generator for the vRewrite'n pages be available? I'm using an alternate one and the pages redirect fine, but it would be nice to be able to provide SES with regular filename paths. And what's the status about rewriting the RSS feeds?

Glad you got it fixed.


Whenever vBSEO let's me release the hacked sitemap generator :)

[Bhuwan]

Hello, this is a great mod, but im here to repot some bug:

With the Post Thanks hack, you cant give thanks.

ps. PM me your paypal
Thanks, Iwill look into the fix for tis...

[Bhuwan]

another problem found:

when viewing a users profile, and you click on the users latest thread posted, you get a cannot find thread error
The double forumname is fixed in an unreleased copy of 1.5 (1.5.1)....

[Bhuwan]

Another thing you may consider rewritting are the 'announcements'.

/announcement.php?f=41

those pages could be rewritten and properly formatted to SEs pick them up.
I wasn't sure of the best way to display grouped announcements (i.e. which title to put inside the URL), sO I left this out...

[Danecookie]

I dont know what is the problem but its giving me error.. its giving 2 slashes in my URLS.. and when we click on any forum section through forum home it gives 404 error, but if we click on threads form forumhome, its working fine.. but there still are 2 slashes in all urls..

Use the htaccess generator -- someone earlier had the same problem --
Anotheroption is change the way "page" is handled via admincp (admincp -> vbulletin options -> vRewrite)

Any idea when the fix for underscores in usernames will be fixed? I'm hoping another release will happen soon with the upgrades and bug fixes (RSS external, memberlist page rewritting, etc).

[SB_GEMINI]

great hack! :), though i have a prob when you have multiple pages to a thread and your in the forum view and you got your thread title here like this for example

THREAD TITLE (1 2 3 ... Last Page)
clicking on those other page number links just brings up:

"No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

I am using the latest version of this hack (1.5) and vBulletin 3.5.4

[girish.r]

Bhuwan, the url is www.abcphp.com . I haven't enabled it right now. Just send a blank mail to girishr[at]abcphp[dot]com when you need to see it. I will turn the mod on.

[girish.r]

Bhuwan, The problem is with opera browser. My opera version is 9. But quick reply used to work with opera 9 before in had vRewrite. Any idea?

[nocte]

Hello,

Nice Modification. i have just installed it on my testboard.

In order to make it really usefull you have to check if the thread/forum/member/etc. name/title in the url is correct. If its not you must do a 301 redirection to the correct path. If you don't so, you have a problem with "double content", because

name1-[ID].html
name2-[ID].html
somename-[ID].html

will all show the same content, tough just (let's say) name1-[ID].html is correct.

was that understandable?

[jdingman]

Seems there is a problem with this mod.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=82769

when displaying the member URLs, it only displays them as /members/-###.html and it doesn't display it like /members/username-###.html -- and because of this, it throws a 404 error due to the .htaccess not accepting it.

Any idea if this is a problem on your side or if it's a problem with the mod?

upgrade to 1.0 to 1.5

In my user profiles page, I see
Unknown Location /members/alfarin-1.html

The same thing holds true for most (if not all) of the rewrite page (I've seen showthread, member profile and showforum, not sure about the others); is this normal? Is there a way to fix this?

Edit: sorry, I didn't see you said you'd look into that a few days ago. Another problem I noticed

I have my forums currently rewrite to f--*.html, without the trailing /. On my forum display page, the sort by stuff (IE:sort by thread starter, rating etc.) doesn't work (gives a 404 because it tries to go .html/?parameters). Is there a way to fix this?

[benFF]

Couldn't find this reported, but my "Who's Online" lists the links as:

t--[ID].html
or f--[D].html

(i.e. missing out the description bit f-[DESC]-[ID].html)....

[benFF]

AH, it also kills GARS multiple paging, as the &garpg=X is lost in the 301 switch...

[SB_GEMINI]

members who have a _ in their name, the links to their profiles dont work

[Cloud Strife]

Great hack, but is there a fix for it saying unknown loaction on whos online and the 404 error problem with usernames that have an underscore in it?

[jdingman]

members who have a _ in their name, the links to their profiles dont work

That's because they haven't released an update yet. Read up a couple posts and you will see they are busy right now, but they will try to get back to the problem as soon as possible. Just give 'em a little time ;)

Question - is it possible to add in an additional plugin (or just add into the code somewhere) a type of exclusion list?

Say i have a custom page i want to load, and in the php file i've defined the script using define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'myscript'); is there some way of disabling the vrewrite protocols from engaging with that script entirely, whilst leaving the others "as is"? I don't mind if the custom page urls aren't re-written, i just want to exclude any that conflict with vrewrite.

EDIT: found an answer. Went to the "main script" plugin and replaced:

if($vbulletin->options['vRewrite_on'])

With:

if(THIS_SCRIPT !== 'myscript' AND $vbulletin->options['vRewrite_on'])

[jdingman]

Yeah, I'm just really eager for them to get the fix out for the underscore and hopefully fix the 'latest visitors today' plugin too. hopefully it's soon...

[girish.r]

members who have a _ in their name, the links to their profiles dont work

I fixed the problem with members who have a _ in their name. Just some minor correction to the .htaccess file. See below.....

.htaccess file before.....
RewriteRule ^u-(.*)-(.*).html member.php?u=$2&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

or

RewriteRule ^u-([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)-([0-9]+).html member.php?u=$2&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

.htaccess file after the correction for _ ....
RewriteRule ^u-([A-Za-z0-9\_\-]+)-([0-9]+).html member.php?u=$2&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

you can see it working at www.abcphp.com

[girish.r]

The '_' problem holds true for the post too. If any post has a '_' in its title it will result in a 404 error. Adding a '\_' to relevant line in the .htaccess file will provide a fix for this. Also the 404 error results if the post title start with a non-alphanumeric character.

I hope the creators of this mod will fix these bugs ASAP.

Ok Im trying to get this working on IIS 6.0

Did the template edits

Verify this line is in your .htaccess


RewriteRule ^search-(.*).html search.php?do=$1


Makes me think you aren't using the most recent version released... I'd suggest you get the newest one for the bugs that have been fixed.

I guess with Bhuwan out for the count, I'm probably going to disable this until he gets better - there are a few things that need to get fixed that happen to cause functional issues on the forums itself. Hope things are going ok Bhuwan!

[jdingman]

I fixed the problem with members who have a _ in their name. Just some minor correction to the .htaccess file. See below.....

.htaccess file before.....
RewriteRule ^u-(.*)-(.*).html member.php?u=$2&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

or

RewriteRule ^u-([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)-([0-9]+).html member.php?u=$2&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

.htaccess file after the correction for _ ....
RewriteRule ^u-([A-Za-z0-9\_\-]+)-([0-9]+).html member.php?u=$2&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

you can see it working at www.abcphp.com

Do you know of a fix for this yet? http://www.abcphp.com/u--79.html/

I'm using the same mod you have for the 'latest visitors in the past 24 hours' and it has errors doing the same thing, where it doesn't display the username. If you find a fix for it, PLEASE let me know. Thanks :banana:

Viewing Thread
[Thread Name]

This doesn't look all that professional:
Unknown Location
/forums/announcements-changes/t-support-ticket-center-1249.html

[kurtbarker]

sorry mate, had to uninstall... user profile was showing a 'this page cannot be displayed error"

You have the right .htacces code.
if you read the whole thread the most known problems are:

- Reputation 404 error.
- Who is online "uknown location"

[kurtbarker]

I got the htaccess code from the htaccess code generator, made for this hack...

read the whole thread... there's 82 pages, lol

[RetroDreams]

It uses the same font style as the Jelsoft copyright. You will need edit the smallfont CSS.

That isn't what I asked. I'm using custom CSS, hence why I asked. Nevermind, I'll figure it out or uninstall.

did you aktivated on vRewrite settings the members option?

[kurtbarker]

yes, I had all vRewrite settings activated

[Ntfu2]

can someone update the first post to reflect new versions and such, there is no way i have time to browse 81 pages trying to find the latest releast and the htaccess generator

[bruss]

how are you guys submitting these seo friendly links to google without a sitemap? Is there a way I can manually do a sitemap until a better option is found?

[Bhuwan]

i am still having some pains b ut tomorrow (SUnday) I'll try and fix all the bugs (online, reputation)

[Jay...]

Right i have installed, after reading through most od this thread i fixed most of the problems i had, but im just wondering is there anyway i could move the copyright to the bottom of the page, it messes up my theme.

[cihangir]

i run a non-english forum and have some problems with the way, how the non-english letters are shown.

ş wird shown as t (better to have s instead of it)

ğ wird shown as e (better to have g instead of it)

ı wird shown as y (better to have i instead of it)


(?)alıntı İşler --> calynty-ytler

Fotoğraf --> fotoeraf

thanks in advance.

R=301 on the old URL's as google crawls is what the current process is - although they have a sitemap generator ready and waiting, I guess the current problem is them waiting for vbseo to actually respond with an ok to release the modification.

It's on the dead bottom of my page, where is it injecting itself in yours?

[Bhuwan]

I am working on most of the bugs today...
WOL is nearly fiex.

Will you add in the underscore problems too, to the fix? What about adding in pagination for the memberlist.php page too? such as /members/a/1.php or such, paging for the members listed in each. Just some thoughts.

Undescore is fixed :)

I will think about adding memberlist pagination...Thanks for the input

[Bhuwan]

Any idea when the fix for underscores in usernames will be fixed? I'm hoping another release will happen soon with the upgrades and bug fixes (RSS external, memberlist page rewritting, etc).COnsider it fixed for the next release undersore is fixed, RSS External support will be added and maybe memberlist pagination...

[Bhuwan]

great hack! :), though i have a prob when you have multiple pages to a thread and your in the forum view and you got your thread title here like this for example

THREAD TITLE (1 2 3 ... Last Page)
clicking on those other page number links just brings up:

"No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

I am using the latest version of this hack (1.5) and vBulletin 3.5.4I am not sure what you mean -- can you porvide exact url? it sounds like an htaccess problem to me.

[Bhuwan]

Bhuwan, The problem is with opera browser. My opera version is 9. But quick reply used to work with opera 9 before in had vRewrite. Any idea?Are you still having the problem? I may download Opera 9 if you are --

[Bhuwan]

Seems there is a problem with this mod.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=82769

when displaying the member URLs, it only displays them as /members/-###.html and it doesn't display it like /members/username-###.html -- and because of this, it throws a 404 error due to the .htaccess not accepting it.

Any idea if this is a problem on your side or if it's a problem with the mod?I will add a fix for this.

[Bhuwan]

In my user profiles page, I see


The same thing holds true for most (if not all) of the rewrite page (I've seen showthread, member profile and showforum, not sure about the others); is this normal? Is there a way to fix this?

Edit: sorry, I didn't see you said you'd look into that a few days ago. Another problem I noticed

I have my forums currently rewrite to f--*.html, without the trailing /. On my forum display page, the sort by stuff (IE:sort by thread starter, rating etc.) doesn't work (gives a 404 because it tries to go .html/?parameters). Is there a way to fix this?I disabled the trailing "/" and it works fine for me -- did you update your htaccess file?

[Bhuwan]

Couldn't find this reported, but my "Who's Online" lists the links as:

t--[ID].html
or f--[D].html

(i.e. missing out the description bit f-[DESC]-[ID].html)....Next release will fix this

[Bhuwan]

AH, it also kills GARS multiple paging, as the &garpg=X is lost in the 301 switch...
How does GARS affect this? please provide more detials

[Bhuwan]

I am unable to reproduce the reputation bug, so someone please PM me exact method of doing so :)

[jdingman]

Also, how would I easily get rid of the "/page2.html/?&order=desc" part at the end of the pagination links?

[girish.r]

Bhuwan, the opera 9 download URL is http://snapshot.opera.com/windows/

[girish.r]

Bhuwan, one thing that need attention is the 'Unknown Location' problem in the 'Currently Active Users' (online.php). I think this is not a htaccess problem. Hope you will fix this!

[redlabour]

The only thing hardly missed is the full functionallity ! I wonder why you guys talking about so small factors like the "Who is online" if this Hack is still not working in anyway.

The hardest Bug is still that you can not use it and everytime you choose Threads you will be redirected to wrong places or non existing Threads.

Ok to get it working on isapi_rewrite, edit httpd.conf and add this:

RewriteRule ^/(.*)/(styleid=(.*))$ /showthread.php?&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/(showthread\.php)$ /showthread.php?&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/t-(.*)-(.*)-new.html /showthread.php?t=$3&goto=newpost&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/t-(.*)-(.*)-last.html /showthread.php?t=$3&goto=lastpost&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/t-(.*)-(.*)-print.html/(.*)$ /printthread.php?t=$3&%{QUERY_STRING}&is_vrewrite=yes [L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/t-(.*)-(.*)-print.html /printthread.php?t=$3&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/t-(.*)-(.*)-nextnewest.html /showthread.php?t=$3&goto=nextnewest&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/t-(.*)-(.*)-nextoldest.html /showthread.php?t=$3&goto=nextoldest&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^/p-(.*)-post(.*)/postcount(.*).html /showpost.php?p=$2&postcount=$3&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/t-(.*)-(.*)-page(.*).html /showthread.php?t=$3&page=$4&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/t-(.*)-(.*)/page(.*).html /showthread.php?t=$3&page=$4&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/t-(.*)-(.*).html/(.*)$ /showthread.php?t=$3&%{QUERY_STRING}&is_vrewrite=yes [L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/t-(.*)-(.*).html /showthread.php?t=$3&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^/f-(.*)-(.*)/misc\.php$ /misc.php?&%{QUERY_STRING}&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^/members/(.*)-(.*).html /member.php?u=$2&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^/u-([A-Za-z0-9\_\-]+)-([0-9]+).html /member.php?u=$2&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^/u-(.*)-(.*).html(.*) /member.php?u=$2&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING}$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^/u-(.*)-(.*).html /member.php?u=$2&is_vrewrite=yes&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^/f-(.*)-(.*)/page(.*).html/(.*)$ /forumdisplay.php?f=$2&&page=$3%{QUERY_STRING}&is_vrewrite=yes [L]
RewriteRule ^/f-(.*)-(.*)/(.*)$ /forumdisplay.php?f=$2&&%{QUERY_STRING}&is_vrewrite=yes [L]
RewriteRule ^/f-(.*)-(.*)/$ /forumdisplay.php?f=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}&is_vrewrite=yes [L]
RewriteRule ^/search-(.*).html$ /search.php?do=$1 [L]


In short, the difference between the original config for apache, and the config for isapi rewrite:
(1st = Apache, 2nd = ISAPI)
RewriteRule ^search-(.*).html$ search.php?do=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/search-(.*).html$ /search.php?do=$1 [L]
so you need to add 2 slashes in total, one after "RewriteRule ^" and one before the .php file.

Hope this is useful for somebody.

Mod Version: 1.0

?????????????

1.5 Release - vRewrite 1.5 has become stable, and all users under 1.5 RC3 and 1.0 need to upgrade.

Where can i download 1.5 ???? Here is only 1.0 available.

In anyway - is anybody using this Hack with all of it?s bugs ??? :surprised:

[Bhuwan]

Bhuwan, one thing that need attention is the 'Unknown Location' problem in the 'Currently Active Users' (online.php). I think this is not a htaccess problem. Hope you will fix this!This is fixed for next release.

[redlabour]

It works fine for most of us...

For "most of us" is not for everyone. And if you can see in this Thread there are a lot of other Bugs still open that makes it absolutely useless.

Remembering that you wanted to fix the "wrong URL" Bug a few Month ago before Final 1.0 ???

[Smitty]

redlabour - I'm not sure what your complaint is. This is a free hack that is being tested and actively supported. I haven't installed it yet because there are bugs. But I don't see a reason to stand back and call it "totally useless". If it's totally useless to you, 'Unsubscribe' from the thread and let those who are interested carry on.

I suggest if you want something that's tested and fully functional, buy vbseo. Oh, but you'll have to PAY for that...
