ie https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1467947 becomes https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread/1467947.html with your mod

The thread ID is in the URL, threadid is unique.

thread with id 15 , and title: bananaphone
thread with id 16 , and title: bananaphone


first one shows: http://localhost/forum/bananaphone-15
second one as: http://localhost/forum/bananaphone-16

No problems there.

So this will work with 3.7 ?

EDIT: Not working on my 3.7.0 b5

The forum urls work fine (www.domain.com/f2/, but there are no keywords in the showthread URLS (www.domain.com/f2/-15 ... should be www.domain.com/f2/these-are-keywords-15).

Also, can you get this to work with vbadvanced cmps?

My first goal is get TfSEO gold for 3.6.x versions of vBulletin. Then, i will relase a 3.7 version and extension, like the integration with the vBSEO's sitemap and the vBadvanced cmps. (If I can advise you, try vbDrupal, is a fantastic CMS integrated with vBulletin)

Perfect. Does it work on your forum/test server?

1) I don't think. It is very heavy and it isn't very usefull. To exemple, if you use the name in category and than you change the category name, all your thread will have a 301 redirect..
2) First that i can, i hope.

I am just concerned that they will show 404 error.

Thanks

03-22-2008, 03:49 PM
Excuse me, but can you be more clear? Have you got a 404 error displaying forums/thread? If yes you must set-up the .htaccess file. Have you done it?

juinjuin
03-22-2008, 03:58 PM
I do apologise if I had been unclear. I have yet to install, so this is more of pre-install question.

I would like to know what happens to the old links e.g. /showthread.php?t=962 after installing the add on. Will they still work? Coz I have a lot of old links pointing to many threads using the traditional showthread url.

Hope this is clearer:)

superjeff
03-22-2008, 04:32 PM
Ok. Now i have understood. All the link that pointed to the "old" urls, are redirect to the new one using a php-301-redirect.
You can see, to exemple im my forum:
http://www.techforum.it/showthread.php?t=858 is automatic redirect to
http://www.techforum.it/f47/tfseo-un-leggerissimo-url-rewite-per-vbulletin-t858/

Link to showthread etc will counted from google. Don't worry. You can find more about this here (http://www.webconfs.com/how-to-redirect-a-webpage.php).

Can i have your site url so i can see if all work corectly?

No. But if the plugin will be popular, i can think to introduce this option. PS: i preferr the "fxxx" option, the forum will have a good seo too, it will not load on the server and you can change without problem the name of the categories.

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

page...

superjeff

You can set it by .htaccess file. Add this line:
ErrorDocument 404 /linktoyour404page.html

This is nice, however I can't get it to work properly. The links successfully are rewritten in vBulletin, however it is as if my .htaccess file is completely ignored. I have it placed in the forum directory. Do you have any suggestions? I keep getting "Page Not Found" errors when I try to browse to a rewritten URL.

Thanks

My members have noticed a bug. When they try to click the "last post" gif in threads which have multiple pages, it doesn't go to the last post on the last page.

Also, the latest posts in cyb advanced forum stats are not rewritten.

It will fix with the next relase, but not with the "last post" link in the home, only with forumdisplay

Maybe i'm so paranoid...well, i REALLY like this mod (is one of the first things i looked for my vb)...but, ¿it's really safe?
I can wait some time. Y' know, if my forum goes offline, the users kill me XD XD XD

Anyway, this is a very good job. Very "blog-like". And that's the way to go.
Congratulations!

Unfortunately, i know what it mind.. :!
In this plugin, there is nothing that can put offline you forum. Actually, there are no knows bugs. At the worst, you will have a (or some) not rewrited urls, but you can fix it with an robots file. If can i help you for the (future) installation, i'm here.

Anyway, this is a very good job. Very "blog-like". And that's the way to go.
Congratulations!
Thank you very much :)

Mmm...i forgot to ask you something! ^ ^
Well, you or anyone who knows the answer...
I'm using the vbSEO (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=144730) that make the sitemap.
Well, obviously I don'y know how exactly that mod make the sitemap...so maybe it stop working properly if I install this one.
"Maybe"
Someone use both and can tell me about?

VbSEO sitemap.. i'd realy like to modific it, but i'm not allowed for the license. You should un-install the vbseo sitemap if you install this plugin..

No, because I'm not allowed to modific the Vbseo sitemap code.
I hope to relase a my sitemap this summer.

superjeff
04-26-2008, 06:38 AM
Ok, i have fixed it, but it is soo easy that i will not relase a new relase only for this.
You must only replace all the code in the plugin called "Query for last page in forumhome" with this:

if (!empty($forum['lastpostinfo']) AND $forum['lastpostinfo'] != $vbphrase['private'] AND $forum['lastpostinfo'] != $vbphrase['never'] AND $forum['lastpostinfo'] != '-' AND $vbulletin->options['tfseo_attivo'] AND $vbulletin->options['tfseo_riscrivi'] AND $vbulletin->options['tfseo_page_index'])
{
$tfseo_tot_post = $vbulletin->db->query_read_slave("
SELECT thread.replycount
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread
WHERE threadid = '$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]'
");
$a = mysql_fetch_assoc($tfseo_tot_post);
$a = implode($a);
$a = $a / $vbulletin->options['maxposts'];
$a = floor($a);
if ($a > 0)
{
$tfseo_total_page = $a+1;
$tfseo_lastpage = $vbulletin->options['tfseo_pagina'] . $tfseo_total_page . ".html";
}
}

Have you set up the .htaccess file?
Try to disable the 301 redirect, and fill the base url of the site field.

Using a few different suggestions from here i have it working.

However for it to work properly I have had to switch off the 301 error is this going to affect my board?

It worked fine when I disabled 301 redirates.
What does 301 do?

A bug appeard to me:

superjeff
04-26-2008, 01:22 PM
Your base forum url shoud be http://www.ar-web.org
It is relative at the site, not forum.
To fix the bug, do this edit (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1499563&postcount=111)

Don't worry about donating..
For 301 redirect, if your base url is exactly "http://www.ar-web.org", it should work.

KSM899
04-27-2008, 02:47 PM
Fear enough .. I set the base url the same but the problem still there.
Don't worrey about it.
Does this change the replays adress also? Because it didn't change the replays adress!

Actually mate I'm a professional Search Engine Optimizer. having F1, F2, etc, hurts the relevancy and prominence of keywords.

Is there a way to go about changing the f1's etc to the actual forum name?

Cheers

Loz

Thank you for install.
No. But if the plugin will be popular, i can think to introduce this option. PS: i preferr the "fxxx" option, the forum will have a good seo too, it will not load on the server and you can change without problem the name of the categories.

askloz.com
05-14-2008, 04:30 AM
Well, the whole point is to have a rewrite that will rewrite the forum name's and categories on the fly.

And should someone visit the site via the search engine, they can have a 301 redirect go back to the home page of the forum, or add some custom 404 error message with products for sale on it. Or something. :)

Loz

1) I don't think. It is very heavy and it isn't very usefull. To exemple, if you use the name in category and than you change the category name, all your thread will have a 301 redirect..
2) First that i can, i hope.

Hello. I love this mod and I've been trying to get it to work perfectly for a while now. The only issues I have left are:

1. The "Go to first new post" button on in forum display. It takes you to the first new post... but the url is not rewritten. Heres what the url looks like when you click the "Go to first new post" button...

2. When you click on the post number inside a post, the url is not rewritten...

Hey guys,

I searched the thread, but I couldn't find anything referencing my problem about linking to specific posts (or going to "last post") which doesn't work on my forum. Without the ability to go to the last post, or last post read, it is a huge hassle for really large threads for members to navigate/follow. For example:

http://forums.interbasket.net/f18/anybody-else-having-problems-8576/post284224.html

I am running vb 3.7.4 and TfSEO 1.1.4 (Light URL-Rewrite with other little SEO customization) - Any help would be really REALLY appreciated.
