for me, all the forums are not rewrited.... ? are there any limits concerning forum limit ?

Is it fixed yet that it can rewrite forums that are actually links?

Yes. Although there a few other bugs which I am a little too busy to fix right now in regards to writing multiple-page stickies.

this plugin is nice after vBSEO is perfectly

I really like this, Dean, but I am guessing that I would loose all 350,000+ of the links I have in Google when it notices the change of the URL's, correct?
If so, puts me in a hard place.. When we upgraded to vb3 we lost all of our links (was using a url hack that was different than the standard in v3) and it took a good 9 months to get back to where we were.
Again, any way around this if it is going to be a problem?
Thanks,
David

is it possible to modify this extension so it only works with specified forums? Because I have a seperate forum for Articles and Tutorials, and would like that to use this, and not my main forum

The original URLs will still work. My only concern would be that Google might see the two urls - the original and the rewritten one - as duplicate content. I don't believe Google penalizes for duplicate content on the same domain, though. With their everchanging algorithm, it's hard to say.

Oops, I just noticed where you said you were using a different rewrite hack. In that case, I have no idea what the effect of using this might be. You could probably modify this extension so that the urls are rewritten using the same rewrite rules, thus not changing any of the urls, but I have no idea how to go about doing that.

very sweet! thanks!

*clicks install*

Hi all,

I am new here. How do you upload this hack?

I have downloaded the file and where do you upload it? TO which path?

At the bottom of the first post under "installation" it tells you exactly where they go.

Erm, now only i know i am using the stable version. I think i need to dl the 3.5.0 to have the upload via plugin uploader in AdminCP right?

Yes, this is a 3.5 hack.

Hi,

I just got this hack working. Damn this rocks!!!! :squareeyed:

THank YOU!

Did anyone notice that the next thread and previous thread links show in .php format instead of rewritten .html format? Will this cause a duplicate content filteR? :surprised:

I'm having the same problem. It converts some, but not all, of the forum urls. I'm looking to see if I can figure out what the skipped forums have in common.

If you can find out what they have in common, I can look into fixing it :)

Does this just generally not work on RC1 + ?

Ive tried it, but had it so that.. well.. It only changes the links on one skin, and even then I get 404 errors.

And mod_rewrite is enabled =(

will this def work and is it okay to install on a live board?

Hmm I'm not sure. I haven't tested this on RC1 yet and I've had reports of problems it would appear. I need more confirmation of the bugs and what versions of vB they're using :)

it appears to be working on www.burnleyweb.com/forum

I already have a .htaccess file, i presume I can just add the code from yours to my current one?

Yes, just be sure not to have two instances of "RewriteEngine On" :)

No problem, thanks for that. Great hack, i'm trying to get my site known more to the local community and anything like this that helps is brilliant!

This baby works like a charm on RC2 For me,take a look; www.blamforums.com/forum/


edit: After a search on the forum, when you click any of the threads, the url isn't rewritten, it's the same old .php one :/


edit 2: Also, when you view a thread through the whos online page, it doesn't take you to the rewritten page

Hmm seems this has issues with vB3 RC1+. Will have to look into it closer when I have more time :)

Thanks deany :P I can call you that right? anyway, I think i've spotted another forum;

in the who's online, when people are viewing forums it says this;

But when people are viewing threads they're fine, except the url is not rewritten

edit: it doesn't even display most threads

There most have been some major internal changes in the beta which is causing this then. I'll look into it soon. Right now I'm working on a large project and have no free time :)

Click install , thanks !

Have you got any free time now Deany? ¬¬

i'm getting 403 errors. mod_rewrite as well?

when is the release of the version for 3.5 rc2 ?

It doesn't work.. I follow the instruction and and my server have that enable..

works good for me on 3.5RC2 except for the user location which comes up unkown user location with the thread link below that...

Other then that good job

Nice hack, but the SEO rewrites stopped after a link forum I put in...*moves link to own category at bottom of form* [INSTALL]
www.alliancemodding.com/vb is the website, not advertising I just want Dean to see what happens to a link forum...the SEO rewrite doesn't work.

Works great ...

However, it Might be a challenge to integrate the vBadvanced CMPS modules into it ... for example the recent threads module still shows the traditional vBulletin urls ...

Anyone have any ideas on this one?

Greg

great job works perfect

Deany, any updates? Problem, no matter how many psots per page my users set it to, in threads it always shows 10ppp :(

Bump

Bump :/

Yet another bump :/

Yes, would be nice to see this fixed.
