please let me know when you do, other then being indexed easier I love this hack because all my ads were relevant to the thread they were in when i installed it, and I loved that :p

That's good :)
Will release RC3 tonight

RC3

If you don't post bugs then we assume there aren't any!

My page 2 link is still not rewriting correct.I have added other posts to the animation forum and its added a page 3 now,which also isnt rewriting correct

htaccess issue?

I uploaded the new one you provided in the RC3 zip just a few ago.Made sure i did that,other than that i dont know

if you see
and



they both work fine

This shows to me that it is a htaccess issue :)

If you decide not to use .html as part of the Rewrites, then you should also remove this from the htaccess file...The htaccess providers defaults which were used for vRewrite 1.0.

Hope this helps out...

You have to view the pages with the "?order=desc" off the end of the url and then yes,they function correctly.I dont have time to dig into the .htaccess myself right now.Am i the only one experiencing this problem?Seems like other users would be having the same issues,would everyone have to edit their .htaccess or something.Im just not understanding or something.haha

Oh and ive only eliminated .html from the forum names themselves,not the threads,so that shouldnt have anything to do with the page 2 and 3 not rewriting i wouldnt think...

I've created a mini-hack in which it will create the htaccess file FOR YOU based on settings you set. However, it makes no sense to release a fully working copy until 1.5 is stable & final :) -- check it out though if you want.

here's what you need to edit in htaccess

remove replace it with

Ok,ill check that hack out in a few.Hope it works as im not up to hacking around with this much today.I just looked at the htaccess and right now im not seeing why it would append that extra ?order=desc

The ?order=desc is from vBulletin.

Check out alll vB Sites, they all have that.

yeah,i understand that.it just seems like others or at least one person would be having the same issues i am.why is everyone elses page2 and 3 rewriting appropriately and mine not.Even with the default settings,its not rewritting on my board.hmmmmm

What do you mean not rewrting properly?

No problem at all, glad I could help you guys out through this and get some of the bugs ironed out.

:)

thx!!! :):banana:

Not rewriting properly i guess is my way of saying that i cant get to the proper url from a default install.i havent had a chance to play with the htaccess yet,there probably is a small edit that would fix this,but i dont have the time this evening until possibly real late tonight to mess around with it.On top of that i dont know alot about mod rewriting so figuring this out might take me a few weeks.haha i was just hoping to find an easier way as i dont have the time to devote at this very second....

Do one thing, post your configuraiton (vBulletin admincp -> vBulletin options -> vrerwite) line for line
i'll set it up on my DEV board and create a htaccess that works
ok?I need every single option, so screen shot may be easier.

AGH! Installed it and was all happy. then I could not go to page 2 of any thread (or more) I applied the fix above, then started looking at the htaccess to see if I could patch it myself. last straw was when I clicked on "new posts" and was greeted by a "page cannot be found" the url had a / at the end (new-post.html/) when i deleted it, the page displayed but with extra content on the top. (and the tables were messed up.)

Sorry if this was asked before... what do I have to do to enable rewriting in my vbadvanced portal? I want to rewrite links in the news and latest thread modules...


---
Cause of very long thread names the urls grow bigger and bigger... that might be good for SE but not for humans.
I think I will limit the name length to 5-10 chars or so... perhaps you want to make it a feature ;)

Hi,

I have AmyKhar's "Expanded Get New Posts" hack installed and this seems to cause a problem with the vRewrite.

It appears to work for minutes and hours but if you click "4 days" it looks like this. (see attachment)

Any ideas?

Regards
Renada

oops.
Load up your global_complete hook OR load up the complete XML file and
search for


and delete it

Thread name limitation can be very easily applied, espeically since you could use vBulletin's build-in functionality.

Can you post your setttings? (/admincp/options.php -> vRewrite) take a screen shot ...

Trythe new htaccess generator (0.2) to create the correct htaccess file based on settings you've set.

Hi Bhuwan,

That cured the forums showing up in a list top left but now the only thing that works is "new posts today".

Also I have this hack installed: Super Display Suite but when clicking on a name that uses this hack the script displays in the URL

This happens to all names except mine (me being user 1)

Regards,
Renada

didn't you already report this as a bug? :-) ...nevertheless, I will ONLY make tvRewrite compatable with other HACKS once i am certain that 1.5 is stable....then we'll addcompatabilit :)

I get this when i perform searches (new posts) this happens even when I turn OFF "rewrite searches" in admincp. I'll try the suggestion you gave renada

ALL my settings are default in admincp exept for "on" and "searches off"

also I noteced, inside forums, it's rewritten with a / at the end (t-forumname-01.html/)

forums part you can disable (i.e. remove the "/")

i posted a fix for the additioanl text ons earches (i left an echo statement).

be careful when changing settings as u have toupdate the .htaccess file also.

all fixed. hope thers no more errors ;)

No no, I do not mean limiting the allowed thread title length but the length of the name in the url. Cause rewriting only depends on the id in the url I think I will strip an url from blar-blar-blar-blar-12.html down to blar-12.html (first X chars of the title)

Thats what i mean -- it can be done very easily.

I found a new bug too. When a user creates a username with a space in it, it creates the html file -###.html instead of user name-###.html. Is there a way to sanitize that so it doesn't break and leave out the username?

This is NOT a bug and the code is WORKING as designed...


HOWEVER, if you really wanted to keep the space... you could do this
in the xml file search for (there should be two instances of it):

<b>And replace it with </b>
But if a user enters a space in the thread name (or forum name for that matter), it won't be replaced with a "-"
SO a thread name with "this is my thread" (t = 82) would be replaced as
"this is my thread-82.html" as opposed to "this-is-my-thread-82.html"


From a SEO stand point, how does it make a difference whether you keep the space or replace it with a "-"?
I am no expert, but I think this is irrelevent.
Furthermore, if I am not mistaken, the browser would replace the space with a %20

The problem actually happening, is that it shows /member/-###.html instead of showing the username at all. It's not displaying ANYTHING for the username. Is that how it's supposed to work?

Is that for every user name or just th eusername with a space? is it on forumhome or a thread?

it's actually just happening with that ONE username, being displayed on the homepage. I'm using the 'all the latest visitors that were here in the last 24 hours'. the other usernames work just fine, if they don't have spaces, but this one breaks.

Also, do you have plans in rewriting the memberlist.php pages or somehow making it easier for search engines to find all the member profiles? I haven't been able to get a working sitemap with all the rewritten pages yet...

This seems more like a noncompatability issue than a bug. I'll take a look at making it compatable once 1.5 is stable :)

I configured vBSEO sitemap to write urls for vrewrite.
