vRewrite - SEOed URLs for vBulletin Details »» | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
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 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". Donations Any donations are very much appreciated! I do this out of my free time and work many hours on it - all for free. Anything to help is always very welcomed If you use vRewrite, please click Install. This helps you keep track of additional upgrades and shows to me that you care about vRewrite You may not post vRewrite ZIP or any files contained in the ZIP on any website. You may not also post any support requests/give support on any website other then this one, without my permission. If you do so, you will get a DMCA for copyright infringement. I do not want this spread to pirated users. Please stop piracy and do not share the source outside of this thread and vB.org/com. Thanks. Support will only be obtained at: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=182 Supporters / CoAuthors Show Your Support

Another bug:
When posting, none of the WYSIWYG editor functions work correctly. All functions that refer to another file (i.e. misc.php for displaying the smiley list), return 404 errors. I'm not sure where it's coming from either. I can't see the full URL it's trying to access. |

Hi everyone.
I didn't see this answered anywhere already so I'm posting it now. I believe that I previously installed Deans hack and had the same problem so I uninstalled and installed this one and if I remember correctly the same thing happened. In my forumhome everything is rewritten properly except only the first LAST TOPIC title and author are rewritten. All others below are not. Please see example below. Any advice or pointers please let me know. |

Hmmm, I had installed this lastnight and woke to find my users complaining that when they clicked page 2 of a thread they would be brought to a completely different thread!! I checked and sure enough that's what was happening.
So even if I fix the fact that on the main page only the first threads are rewritten, apparently if there is more than 1 page of posts in a thread, there is a bug making it so you get transported to the wrong thread instead of page 2 of the right thread. Anyone else have this problem? I didn't see this in here already. |

EDIT: Here's a function I used a long time ago to strip characters that could cause problems when I was scanning a URL. It might be useful for this extension. Code:
function make_url_safe($text) { // Characters must be in ASCII and certain ones are not allowed. $text = html_entity_decode ($text); $text = str_replace(" / ","-",$text); $text = str_replace("/","-",$text); $text = str_replace("'","-",$text); $text = str_replace(" - ","-",$text); $text = str_replace("_","-",$text); $text = str_replace(" ","-",$text); $text = str_replace( "?", "ae", $text); $text = str_replace( "?", "oe", $text); $text = str_replace( "?", "ue", $text); $text = str_replace( "?", "Ae", $text); $text = str_replace( "?", "Oe", $text); $text = str_replace( "?", "Ue", $text); $text = str_replace( "?", "ss", $text); $text = str_replace( "&", "and", $text); $text = str_replace( "%", "Percent", $text); $text = ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9-]", "", $text); $text = str_replace("----","-",$text); $text = str_replace("---","-",$text); $text = str_replace("--","-",$text); return $text; } |
