In plugin menu there is no option for this plugin to remove or uninstall. Thats why i am asking a way for uninstallation.

Hi guys,

Two small problems:

Here are two URLs, the first using the 'old' daniweb modrewrite for 3.0.X and the 2nd, using deans:
domain.com/f6-suggestions,-feedback-&-announcements.html
domain.com/f6-suggestions-feedback-amp-announcements.html

I need the 2nd, to look the first really. So amp needs to stay as & and the commas need to be left in.

Cheers.

oezer, but the thing is, I don't have access to the server, I'm using a web hosting!!!
how can I do this?

uuh... that's tricky.. i don't think that a shared hosting company let you change a *.conf file but ask your hosting company, if they do it, fine! if not.. you can only put a .htaccess file.

and this problem was on my server, that doesn't have to be the same with your hoster, its possibly another problem.

regards

I think i've one Bug:

In my extendend WIO i cant see which Thread the People are Reading:

Ther is just the
but nothing below.

It is just if people call a thread bei the new URLs.

Some Idea?

is this hack the same as vbSEO?
if not, what's the difference?
and why this one's free and the other costs 150$? :D

worked like a charm.
thanks Dean.

can you make something like this for the archives too? i think it will be very useful in archives also:P

This one has a lot of bugs in it. vbseo is really good but i doubt to pay 150$ for it. The price is really high.

Yes, I agree. The price is not worth the product.
Until it becomes free or goes cheaper, most of us will make do with this hack, or another like it.

thanks man ...
good job

It depents SEO can make your business grow and make you more money than anything else.

Non profit sites should prob not buy this, but from what I have heared it is the best you can get for the moment and there is little or no competition, thats why they can ask pretty mutch what they want

I dont agree with you at all. SEO is not so needed by vBulletin forums. Regular vBulletin forums are pretty good crawled by spiders. Of course with SEO it will be better but this products price is really high. If you can check vBulletin modifications you can see the prices range is between 10$ - 75$ . That price is even expensive than vBulletin and you can check anywhere or ask any sales departmant a products , sub product cannot be expensive the regular product. I agree it shall be sold but the fair price should be around 60-80 $

You're right, it is a high price for an "addon". However, it's good spent money if you can get your site in the first 2 pages on google as a result of it.

And from my own experience, I don't think vbulletin gets good ranking at all. We use to have 600 pages, mostly memberlist and other useless pages. It's just a few weeks that we are customizing the original code and optimizing it and we did go to 12000 pages in google so far. If you look around, you will find many other case studies.

Anyone knows a way to fix?

works with 3.5 gold?

only one way to find out, install it :)

Thanks for this.

EDIT: just wanted to add that it seems that it only works if you go to the thread via a forum. If you go to it through the index (e.g last thread etc.) it will go to the php file.

Oh and search results don't work either....

Nice Job but it could be better.

Yes, it works with gold but has issues as mentioned above.

But the Thing with the WIO is the hardest i think.

I ve got no Problems with da Search Function.

You don't? I go to "New Posts" and when I click on one of the threads it goes to the php file.

This mod is not converting all urls in your board to html. It converts most of them.

Does anyone having problem switching between styles when browsing a html page with this mod ?

Yeah youre right, but i thought about some real problems with it.

My only problem is the WIO, how are you with that.
Klick rewrtied link to thread and look in new tab expanded WIO, the titel of this thread is missing.

I know that also. There is a problem in whois online. Hope we can figure this out. Also forumdisplay are showing up as unknown location in whois online.

is it for the gold version? [like wil it work wid gold version]
and how do i check mod_rewrite is available to me
.....without asking my hosting company

I can definitely confirm the bug with Who's Online. It no longer shows what thread a user is viewing, and when viewing a forum, it is displayed as"

Unknown Location
/f1-forum-name.html

Would be nice if Who's Online still worked properly, but other than that great mod! Very useful!

Please fix the Who's Online problem though. Looks like others are experiencing this problem too. :(

Ok search didn't work for me either. I had to uninstall for now since many of my members use the new posts search function to see the threads they haven't read yet. :(

The WOL is intential. At the time I couldn't think of a way to show what thread they are viewing. It's a small sacrifice to make unfortunately.

Dean > Any chance of implementing this in the future? Also, what about the issue when serching? Would I best to install and wait for an update? When uninstalling, do you just remove the pluggin?

I've just spent a couple of hours farting around with a few new features. I don't think I can fix the WOL issue. I can't get my head around it. I think I've discovered the problem with not all URLs being rewritten. I didn't take into account the sessionhash in the URLs that appear on some boards :)

Also I'm currently trying to work out a way to redirect the old URLs to the new ones via a gateway script which will take the threadid, get the title of it and rewrite the old (showthread.php?t=x) to the new one (tx-thread-title.html). Having a few problems with apache at the moment.

As far as rewriting the lastpost. This URL will change almost every hour on a medium-sized board. I see little value in rewriting it.

Also search-results should now be rewritten for getnew posts. There's little point rewriting the search-results for a real-search as part of the query string is designed to highlight the word, and that will vary thousands of times on a per-search basis.

Hopefully shall release sometime in the next week, depending on how busy uni is.

Thanks,

Great to know that you will be releasing an update.

"As far as rewriting the lastpost. This URL will change almost every hour on a medium-sized board. I see little value in rewriting it."

Won't this confuse the search engines? Would rewriting it effect loading times or anything?

I have this on my board, it works great (the bugs didn't bug me :D ). But, it interferes with the EMail Address Obfuscator mod. I thought you may want to know :)

Vtec, what does that mod do?

Should be great, thanks for your time put into this.

still havent got my answer
is it only for the beta versions or can i use it for the GOLD 3.5 too

It works with Gold, yes.

It converts email links to picture, to prevent spammers from using a bot to collect them.

You can read about it here

:)

I don't see why they would clash. What exactly is the bug and problem with the two together?

Instead of the hashed image of email links, all I got were redx's. When I deactivate your mod, then everything went back to normal.

That's very strange. I don't have time to figure out why that is right now.

Just to let everyone know, I have the new updated version working flawlessly (to my knowledge). One of the new major features is that all old URLs redirect to the new ones:

e.g. showthread.php?t=1 redirects to t1-thread-title.html
