vRewrite - SEOed URLs for vBulletin · **Released**: 01-04-2006

About

vRewrite is an advance but simple system to rewrite vB's URLs. The rewrite system uses preg_match_all and str_replace to rewrite the URLs. It will rewrite any URLs that are dynamic ex: showthread.php?t= to /the-forum/title-of-the-forum-id.html. Why? SEs (Search Engines) rate results based on filename. Not only that, but most SEs give a "boost" to static URLs (what we do here) versus dynamic URLs. vRewrite accomplishes both of this, for all URLs that a search engine (or a guest) will see.

Installation

Please download vRewrite.zip and read install.html for more information on how to install it.

Requirements

vRewrite assumes that you are using Apache with the mod_rewrite module enabled, and running vBulletin 3.5.x. However, if you ask for support here on IIS' module or on vBulletin 3.0.x - I will be more then happy to assist you.

Contributions

I would like to thank Chroder and Cole for assisting me release vRewrite. I could not have released it if it wasn't for them.

I would like to thank the following people/boards for helping beta test vRewrite and making it a better product.

Gaming Ultimate, BP Gaming, NBS Designz Cyclez, Hosting-Talk and Forum University.

Copyright

I've spent many hours working and perfecting vRewrite. The only thing I ask you to do is if you use it, please keep the link back. If you wish to put it in your style instead, simply remove or comment out that line. However, if you use vRewrite you MUST link back. That is the only thing I ask.

Known Issues

There are no known issues with the latest release (1.0).

Support / Issues

If you have any problems or discover a bug please post here in this thread. I have also included my email in the install.html email for one-on-one support. The only thing I ask you is please do not post this email address publicly - it is my personal email.

Changelog

1.5 Release - vRewrite 1.5 has become stable, and all users under 1.5 RC3 and 1.0 need to upgrade. Support for 1.0 will no longer be offered, and you will be told simply to upgrade. Please continue to keep all bug and feature suggestions on the bug tracker at:

Code:

http://www.techhelpforum.com/vrewrite

1.1 Release - Several bug fixes, and a few new features. Details here.

03/26/06 - Updated the thread to reflect vRewrite 1.5 Beta links. vRewrite files has NOT changed.

03/11/06 - Updated the thread to take advantage of vB.org's new prefix feature. vRewrite itself has NOT changed.

1.0 Release (02/19/06) - I have released the much awaited 1.0. This is the first stable release of vRewrite. All users now should be safe installing vRewrite. For more information, and how to upgrade, please see here.

1.0 Preview (01/12/06) - I have released a preview version of 1.0. This is the final version before 1.0 is considered stable. I believe everything should work in this new preview, but one bug (see known issues). Please see here for more information and how to upgrade.

01/05/06 - Updated ZIP to include a fix for boards running a table prefix. You do not need to upgrade unless you previously had SQL errors. You can upgrade by importing the product and choose "Allow Overwrite".

I run this great on vBgallery 1.01 (http://www.PlanetSRK.com/forums/gallery)

here is the headinclude code you need to use:

Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'index' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'gallery_index' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'gallery_upload' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'showimage' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'gallery_search' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'gallery_newreply' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'gallery_moderate' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'gallery_misc'  AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'gallery_managecats' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'editimage' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'ecard' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'displayimages' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'browseimages'">
<base href="$vboptions[bburl]/" />
</if>

you can disable the 'echo' statement via admincp options;
however, i would just wait until RC2 comes out,as we've fixed some SQL queries.

How large is your site?

Ntfu2 · #**730** 04-01-2006, 02:37 PM

about 2500 members

I cant tell you exact stats, as my server is down right now after i uploaded this

Ntfu2 · #**731** 04-01-2006, 03:14 PM

fixed.

Would this cause a problem with apf firewall for any reason? I disabled the firewall, then everything was fine, then i disabled the plugin, and started apf up again and everything is back again? :???:
