If anyone wants to try this (without guarantee!) to get Zoints SEO working on sites with photopost's vBGallery (may also solve the incompatibility with vBadvanced Links Directory) I'm fairly/quite confident it may work. (I apologise for the vagueness but I don't have good test installs at present )

in the "Zoints SEO" plugin at parse_templates (on line #1),
originally (Zoints SEO v 2.2.2) it should be

PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->options['zointsseo_on'] AND $vbulletin->options['zointsseo_rewrite_urls'] AND VB_AREA == 'Forum' AND !defined('VBA_PORTAL')) 


change VBA_PORTAL to VBA_SCRIPT,
ie REPLACE line#1 with

PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->options['zointsseo_on'] AND $vbulletin->options['zointsseo_rewrite_urls'] AND VB_AREA == 'Forum' AND !defined('VBA_SCRIPT')) 


this should prevent the <base href=""> tag being added to the header which I think was the problem.


Again, apologies for the lack of testing of this before offering it as a possible solution.

Seems to work fine. But there are to much other Bugs in this Hack. It is still absolutely unusable and brings more Problems than it is worth.

Example - forum/index.php is not longer active in navbar if you use vBa at forum/cmps_index.php and if you use a DirectoryIndex to forum/cmps_index.php. It rewrits to forum/ and you still go to Portal and not to the Forum.
