Major Additions - TfSEO 2: the free vBulletin url rewrite

TfSEO 2.1

TfSEO is a powerful and free url rewrite for the vBulletin system: it rewrite forum, thread and post urls.
For me it's very hard to explain well all the feature of this plugin, soo the best way is test it.

How much does it weight on the server?

I have tested on my home server:

TfSEO enabled, heavy:

i just updated my forums to vb 3.8.0 beta 2 mod still works

[rob01]

you will update this mod to 3.7.4? :S

[djlotus]

I run vBa Dynamics on my site. After installing this mod, none of my articles are accessible. I get a 404 error for every article and category, under vBDynamics. I have uninstalled this product completely, reinstalled my original "htaccess" file, and even gne through my DB looking for links. No matter what type of tfSEO you run, it will overwrite your vBDynamics links. All of my catagories and posts are unaccessable, because this mod rewrote my URL's, to the point that, after uninstallation, it wont "write-back" my vB Dyanamics URL's to thier originals.

Every single one of my catagories and articles have had thier URL's rewritten, and cannot be changed back to the original URL's. My forums work fine after uninstall, but all i have done in vBa Dynamics is lost.

Even after restore of DB, all links point towards URL's that were never valid, and never should have been changed according to this mod.I have 8 months worth of unaccessable articles, because of this mod, and its author's inability to use foresight.

As this a "non-supported" mod, meaning vB has no official connection to this mod, nor responsabilty towards it. I woul dhighly recommend not installing this mod, as it has the potential to destroy your sites content.

I will be purchasing and installing the vBSEO tonight, because thier software is supported and tested, and thier coders don't ignore your questions when you need answers.

Be warned. This mod has not ever substantially helped a site with SEO and has never been supported fully.

I have no idea of wath happened. Really. Is this the site?
http://www.battlefieldsofhonor.com/forums/index_1.php?

I think you haven't owerwrite my htaccess with the vbadvanced one. What does it mind "I have lost the 8-month work?" Have you getted the content deleted?

[djlotus]

The site is http://www.xbattles.net. Every one of my articles in vBdynamics, has had its URL permanently re-written. I cant even access the article categories. I have completely uninstalled the hack and overwritten the supplied htaccess file with my original, and still no change to the URL's on my articles section.

As it stands I can not access any article I have written in the life of the articles section.

Sorry for the sour tone of my last post, but imagine my frustration when I realized I could not access the heart and soul of my site.

A: Set TfSEO Type to Heavy, and than go AdminCP > Forums & Moderators > Forum Manager > Edit Forum > TfSEO Forum Urls.


i got vb 3.7.3 and i edited some of my forums in Acp with some words, when i klick on my forum its ok, but if i klick then on a post, the "edit-this-from-admin...." shows up again

so... in forum index all working well, but clicking on a posting, the url of the category shows up as the text....

any ideas ?

I'm having this same issue. Please let me know if there is a fix.

[far100]

Installed fine on 3.7.4.

Made silly error: in the AdminCP for "Base url of the site" I forgot the ".com". So I kept getting "redirect loop" error.

2 hours later I corrected my "Base url of the site" - wham! - it worked like a charm.


Thank you very much for making this plugin.
Cheers, Far100

Your modification is set to the default setting yet I use to run 18 queries on my forumhome, now I am running a whopping 88 queries!

Topics seem fine, they run 18 queries, it's just the forumhome.
