[DC Seo vB URL Rewrite]

What does this modification do?
This modification will allow you to automatically have more search engine friendly URLs in your vBulletin. A forum which would normally display as forumdisplay?f=1 will now appear as f1-forumtitle.html and the same with threads. Having keywords in your URL can be of an advantage in search-engine ranking.

Requirements:

• You must have mod_rewrite apache module enabled on your server. Contact your host for more information.
• This will not work well for non-english boards as it strips most non-alpha numeric characters. E.g. ? would be stripped on french boards etc

Bug? : "Previous Thread" and "Next Thread" don't work (show same thread).
One simple question: exist sitemap generator for that URLs??????

There's an update over at my forums which is Beta 3, and it fixes a lot of bugs including the previous/next thread links.

And yes, I will probably be making a sitemap generator for my modification. Whether or not I release it in the final version or not, I have yet to decide, as it still needs a lot of work to get it working efficiently on very large boards.

With sitemap I resolve. I modify old my sitemap generator and work.

The download present there is beta 3, the thread wasn't overwritten properly though.

Change the format of the filename to other than (f1-forumname.html, forum1-forumname.html, and like threads) as also the URL "structure" like /forumname/threadname.html
