Thanks

I have just migrated to vB and would love to install this mod on my website but it does not work for me unfortunately.

I am using "404 / 301 Tool" from vBSeo. This is it: http://www.vbseo.com/f2/404-301-tool...-forums-27498/

My .htaccess configuration looks like that:

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^[^/]+vt([0-9]+)\.htm vbseo301.php?action=thread&oldid=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^[^/]+vt([0-9]+),([0-9]+)\.htm vbseo301.php?action=thread&oldid=$1&start=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^[^/]+vf([0-9]+)\.htm vbseo301.php?action=forum&oldid=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^[^/]+u,([0-9]+)\.htm vbseo301.php?action=user&oldid=$1 [L]

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

When I add your .htaccess bit at the beggining then translator works OK but my rewrite script would not work.
I would love to use this translator but I cannot get my .htaccess to work unfortunately. Can you help?

PS. Mozesz pomoc? Prosim.

vBET translated also titles and meta. So if you have there duplicate it means that your have duplicate in your original content. vBET has nothing to do with it - it just translates your titles and meta, not increases it in any other way. Issue is not with vBET but with your original content. So just eliminate duplication on your original pages and it will disappear from translated one.
If you find some page where title or meta are not translated - please note it with exact URL.

Blocking translated pages have no sense - just uninstall vBET then, but as I wrote - there is no issue with vBET. Translating 'cat' to Polish will give you 'kot' each time. Your issue is with duplication on original content.

Just read instructions for .htaccess file CAREFULLY! And tell me what instruction about vBET rules place is in description... Is there something about putting it at the beginning?...

[Diablotic]

When I put it just above

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

then my website is all messed up with no pictures etc.

When I put it just above

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

Then it does not work as it uses my script rewrite first.

When I put it just above

RewriteRule ^[^/]+vt([0-9]+)\.htm vbseo301.php?action=thread&oldid=$1 [L]

Then my script does not work.

This is your first rule to vbseo.php:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

Please note that condition is also part of rule. So put vBET rules in appropriate place now It means just before this one.

[Diablotic]

And when I put your rules above that then my script does not work
