when you will release 1.0 version

Yeah that's cool. And what exactly is "%20s" in the spaces? You've lost me.

I have to say this is a very inefficient way of rewriting the URLs and I would strongly advise anyone against installing this modification. Not because it's similar to mine, as I welcome the comeptition and commend the authors for releasing their work for free, but because of the un-necessary queries run here there and everywhere.

There is absolutely no need to run a query to get the forum titles for example, that information is in the forumcache, and also the forumtitle is available in other variables depending on the page you are on. Most of all you have un-necessary regex's being run on pages they don't need to be run on. It's far more efficient to redirect old URLs to their new equivalent using .htaccess, than to to try and rewrite every rule everywhere or at least limit the regex's on pages they only need to be on.

As I said before, unless this modification's internal struture changes drastically, anyone using a large board will be using a completely un-necessary amount of resources to run it.

So Dean, tell me. What's so special about your SEO hack? Does it have more features than this already? Is it just well-coded and stuff like that?

My SEO mod is not aimed at just rewriting URLs, when it comes out of beta it'll rewrite many sections of the vB HTML output, and also come with a sitemap generator of it's own and SEO tips in the readme. But the rewriting of URLs in my modification is done a lot more efficiently, the regexs are only called when they need to be. And no queries are run to get any of the information. :)

When there is a space in any URL, it will create %20s. This is an example. Will change to:
This%20is%20an%20example

Sorry, I didn't make my deadline like I was hoping. I've got all the functionalty that was wanted to be added, but that one bug still exists. I'm also working on getting the sitemap generator converted over to work with vRewrite :)

Coming from the man with the monstrous two rewrites? ;)

I'm gonna have to agree with Dean here. vRewrite does rewrite more urls, but is not near as efficient as Dean's SEO mod. It would be great if these coders could work together and create one SEO script that would rival vbseo ;)

What do you mean? Dean must be angry that his Mom didn't give him his cereal this morning, or exams are getting too tough. One of the small prices of being a coder that's still in school. vRewrite is just as efficient as Dean's. I can't say the same about vBSEO as it's encoded. If you find anything that's not "efficient" then let me know, and I'll be happy to investigate the problem.
