Any idea ? :confused:

Installing this on a clients board, the IM Icons work in firefox, but in IE 8 they lead to a 404, we have tried this with the mod_rewrite on and off, neither works. I need a fix please.

Should i write this for french letters ?

Question about the MOD rewrite instructions.....Here are the instructions as given

3. .htaccess edit (required for the mod_rewrite option)
========================================
This step is only necessary if you are planning on using the mod_rewrite option to
rewrite the URLs. Please note that you will have to have mod_rewrite support enabled
on your server.

File: /.htaccess (If it does not exist, create it)

If the following two lines already exist, then skip ahead to the next edit, otherwise
add them at the end of the file

----------------------------------------
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
----------------------------------------

Add the following lines at the end of the file
----------------------------------------
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]*-(f|all)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$ forumdisplay.php/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]*-(t|p)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$ showthread.php/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(index\.php|\.css) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(archive|sitemap)/(.*)$ $1/index.php/$2 [QSA,L]
----------------------------------------

So if I understand this, I create a file in my forum root called .htaccess

Then open that file and add the following into it.

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]*-(f|all)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$ forumdisplay.php/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]*-(t|p)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$ showthread.php/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(index\.php|\.css) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(archive|sitemap)/(.*)$ $1/index.php/$2 [QSA,L]

Has it been reported yet that there are logging in problems with IE? I've got this problem, but not sure if this mod was the reason?

hi

with new value as the attached text file

I get this erro
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '"', expecting ']' in /home/*********/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3939) : eval()'d code on line 2

how i solve this
thanks

thank you for this great mod i,ve been searching for a way to make the dynamic URL to static n i now did it by using ur mod
thanks and i marked as installed

I have been using this for a long time with mod_rewrite. I'm nervous when I upgrade to vB 4 I will lose all of my links which will hurt SEO.

Is there any way to carry over the links or to prevent this from happening?

Any plans for a vB4 version of this?

Thanks.

like stated in the pm i have moved zoints to a new name C-logic SEO which is basically zoints but far more advanced we both use the same URL rewrite system (manythanks to zoints) but with a lot less bugs and much more stabillity if you wish for me to creat a version for VB4 i would be more than happy to start coding for your all but my time and money is limited!

note to all that VB4 does have its own URL rewriting system so unless you have zoints or c-logic and wish to keep the urls the same i do recommend you stick with the systems base url system if anyone has zoints or c-logic seo i recomend you stick with it i will test C-Logic SEO and see if VB4 works with it if not i will start working on a new version as soon as possible!

I would love to see a VB4 version of this! We would like to keep our thread URLs the same with .html at the end.
