Those things are basically for aesthetics. It helps the user see the topic of the thread they are going to, especially if its offsite.

I don't know how it happened, but it most certainly did.

When I tried to import the plugin I got a blank white page in admincp that told me that there was an error and that I was either using a vB 3.5.1 file (which I wasn't) or that I needed to upload tools.php and rebuild the cache. When I and everyone else got completely locked out of my forum (including admincp).

Floris came to the rescue and got it fixed today.

I was wondering if it is possible to make the urls of my threads / categories

www.url.com/t/32343.html and www.url.com/f/4.html

I have tried myself and got it all working except from when you click links (wherever there is /t/ or /f/) the link does the following www.url.com/f/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=4

Any help would be great otherwise sorry to bother you :p

Dean C

11-14-2005 08:13 PM

glassy - I've no plans to implement that URL structure. Sorry :)

Hello,
I intend to use this on a german forum - we use umlauts there (a,?,?,?) - will the code from here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=348) replace them by their english equivalents? (ae, ue, oe, ss)

Thanks
Thomas

OK i tried this but for some reason i couldn't get it to work.

I already have SEO friendly url's running in my subdreamer part of the site so i uploaded the plugin and put the copied

PHP Code:


		
			
RewriteRule ^f([0-9]+)-([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)\.html$ forumdisplay.php?f=$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^t([0-9]+)(((-p)([0-9]+))?)([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)\.html$ showthread.php?t=$1&page=$5&pp=10 [L]

To my already established .htaccess file

PHP Code:


		
			
Options All -Indexes

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /



RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

so i ended up with

PHP Code:


		
			
Options All -Indexes

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /



RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php



RewriteRule ^f([0-9]+)-([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)\.html$ forumdisplay.php?f=$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^t([0-9]+)(((-p)([0-9]+))?)([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)\.html$ showthread.php?t=$1&page=$5&pp=10 [L]

It was working in as much to say that the forum links changed to html links but clicking them resulted in a page not found.

So i thought maybe its the base url as my forums, like many, are in the /forum/ directory of the root.

So i removed that, still the same. So i changed too

RewriteBase /forum

Still the same

and tried

RewriteBase /forum/

Still the same. What did i do wrong ? :)

It's not that simple descds. This rule redirects everything (which is a bad thing), but I won't get into a discussion on poor usage of mod_rewrite now:

Code:

RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

This will send every single URL you type to index.php. Why it's doing that I have no idea. This should be a temporary fix for you though:

Code:

 Options All -Indexes

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /



RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^f([0-9]+)-([A-Za-z0-9-]+).html$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^t([0-9]+)(((-p)([0-9]+))?)([A-Za-z0-9-]+).html$

RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php



RewriteRule ^f([0-9]+)-([A-Za-z0-9-]+).html$ forumdisplay.php?f=$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^t([0-9]+)(((-p)([0-9]+))?)([A-Za-z0-9-]+).html$ showthread.php?t=$1&page=$5&pp=10 [L]

Give it a try anyway :)

Thanks Dean but it didn't work :( My SEO friendly urls for subdreamer worked perfectly well but the forum ones results in a page not found on clicking ...

Any other ideas ?

Do you have subdreamer and your forum in the same directory?

Some questions about this hack:
1. Bug in thread, when it displayes pages, i.g. page2 have http://www.alpari-idc.com/en/forum/t...his-forum.html and page 3 of 3 have - http://www.alpari-idc.com/en/forum/s...9&page=3&pp=10
why?
2. How about "Last post" in forum index? it have http://www.alpari-idc.com/en/forum/s...=newpost&t=291, but i want to have hack this too.

P.S. Sorry for my English.

No idea at the moment. I'm going to try and bundle the latest beta this weekend and send it to a few foreign boards for testing :)

I would be most grateful for a donation. Just send me an email via my website and I'll reply with my paypal details.

I haven't spoken to them and only use their software so please don't see it as those asking. I'm just curious how it could be made better and would pass on the info ..

Also one minor cosmetic issue with the plugin

When you view who's online if a user is in a thread you get

Unknown Location
/forum/f18-movies-on-dvd.html

I'm certainly not going to loose any sleep over it though :) Maybe something to look at for the next release ..

not sure if this has been mentioned...

in Forum display, if you try to change the style using the dropdown at the bottom, it doesnt work, it just reloads the page.

im also having trouble with the whos online which is well known by now

Thanks Dean, Great hack!

Yep and unfortunately it can't really be fixed.

Hmm actually I have an idea :)

thanks that did it :)

It doesnt re-write the urls to html in who's online though and has the older php relevance. I assume that was intentional ? How would that effect spiders ? if at all ..

Clicking the url to a thread a user is viewing sends them to the

http://www.talkdvd.net/forum/showthread.php?t=347

instead of

http://www.talkdvd.net/forum/t347-on...ng-future.html

I personally think a rewrite of all urls would help avoid confusion here. Users are seeing two types of urls in different situations and i know it is only really cosmetic but it would make it look uniform.

So the last reply and who's online SEO friendly urls would just make it look and feel more intergrated ...

But either way its an outstanding hack and i'm happy to use it.

if you mean that clicking

http://www.talkdvd.net/forum/showthread.php?t=347

should redirect and show as

http://www.talkdvd.net/forum/t347-o...ing-future.html

it doesnt :)

clicking http://www.talkdvd.net/forum/showthread.php?t=347 results in seeing http://www.talkdvd.net/forum/showthread.php?t=347 ...

Is that what its supposed to do or is something i have here wrong ?
