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:

        These results are probably not that reliable.

This product will be updatefor long time, I welcome (and really do ask for) any feedback, suggestions, issues, etc...

If you install it, click install.

Note: vbulletin will have by default a rewrite system from version 4.0 (beta should coming next month, april). I relly suggest you to wait, and not use this product. If the vb's rewrite will be great, i will no more update this product.

No idea, but what I mean is if url rewrite is installed create a new rule that redirect
http://www.mysite.com/urlrewrite/index.html
to
http://www.mysite.com/index.html
just to test that the url rewrite mod actually work.

If it doesn't work, it just obvious that having all your url modified with this tool will make your forum unaccessible.

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^urlrewrite/index.html$ /index.html

Just a simple test to make sure that the url rewrite work, if it does work, please confirm what option do you use inside the tool?
If it doesn't work, I can't really help you, google is your friend and get it to work.
As soon as it work, you can give it a shot and retry this addon.

My forum is accessible. The articles that were posted while having this mod installed have become inaccessible after having this mod uninstalled. The url's to the articles did not default back to original after mod was installed. I am inquiring if the author of the mod or anyone else can advise me on how to fix the issue, if in fact, it is fixable.

[NeDra]

oh, now I understand the issue hum >.<
Talk about an issue... I though you wanted to use this mod instead.

Try to install the mod but to disactivate it for it to not be working, see if it will do a quick fix.
If that doesn't help, you will need to look inside the code to figure it out...

You don't have backup of the code I guess...

[djlotus]

Back up of which code?

I have reinstalled vBulletin, vBadvanced, and vBdynamics, and it did not help. I still have my original downloaded version of this mod, just not uploaded on my server.

[sheep92032]

Are you serious? I'm not installing a mod just because someone can't be bothered to say what it does..

[nick-harper]

I still cant get it to go to the latest post when I am on the forum home, how would I fix this?

[southie]

any updates or news for this script ?

[djlotus]

This hack is garbage, and so is the "support" offered by it's author.

Sad. He said he would have a 3.8-savvy version and that's months ago.

Evidently, the lad decided school work or real life was far more important than fixing the problems.

Peace,
