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".

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.

In the rest of the forums all is fine.

It isn?t an important one. Just for future releases.

Bye, Simon.

The latest version (1.5.1) has some what messed up things for me. The things that don't work for me are

1. The quick reply and edit post are not working post’s view (in opera)
2. The WOL problem still exits.
3. In the 'Total members that have visited the forum today' some member links are not working.
4. The Email and Private Message link in member profile pages are not working. (Its due to the trailing / )
5. The images in the member profile pages are broken. (Its due to the trailing / )
6. The pagination for thread view was not working but bhuvan help me solve if by removing the trailing slash.

These are the bugs that were noticed using opera browser (did not try in any other browser). You can check out these bugs at www.abcphp.com. I will keep updating this list as I find new bugs.

Bhuvan/Immortal, don't you think the discussion about vRewrite is getting really big. Why don't you move this discussion to a personal site?

Regards
Girish R

A minor bug :P
I've few links in navbar, for example:
Code:
http://forum.mandriva.org.pl/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=42
http://forum.mandriva.org.pl/search-getdaily.html/&days=2&exclude=42
and they are rewrited to
Code:
http://forum.mandriva.org.pl/search-getnew.html/&exclude=42
http://forum.mandriva.org.pl/search-getdaily.html/&days=2&exclude=42
what cause 404 error of course.

how to fix it ?

if I add index.php (for example) to excluded pages navbar looks all right but only on index.php. On search.php there will be error again. An so on. So pages excluding is not a way beacause in the end I'll disable vRewrite on every page.....

I've disabled the product again because it was having some real big templating problem with the post thank you hack (ajax thing gets broken completely and loops the template over and over); but before I disabled, I noticed that the WOL still have some unknown locations which I mentioned above. I'll put this one on hold (keeping the installed status so I get emails) until the next version again...

Disable searches for the time being (vRewrite -> disable searches)

It is extremely difficult to make a hack compatible with every other hack. I'll certainly try to work out the details, but no guarantees.
That WOLissue shud be resolved -- if no tjust dsiable rewriting of online.php -- that's the easiest way.
