[DC Seo vB URL Rewrite]

Information

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

Hi all !
First of all, sorry for my bed english, I'm form Italy
I have a little problem after the installation of this mod: if in one forum I have a discussion of (as in my forum) 22 pages, if I click on "go to last page" I'm redirected to the 2nd page and not to the 22nd !
Checking the link I found http://www.xxxxxxx.com/forum/t27-p2-problemi.html
I suppose that t27 means thread nr. 27
and p2 means page 2 but this is not correct as I have 22 pages and not 2 !
How can I solve this problem ?
Thanks for your help.

Get the newest beta - available @ teckreviews.com...

...err... Site appears to be down...

Then again, support and development seems to be dwindling, you may be better served going to a different product - I'm pondering the move myself as it appears things are going to the wayside with this particular release and there are still minor problems with the newest beta.

Dean, do you have any news on when to expect your total SEO solution?

[Danecookie]

Hi,

many who register at my forums ecounter the problem that the URL changes to http://www.slipen.com/forum//f60-general-talk.html .. you can see that there are 2 > // , slashes here, and they get a 404 error, but after sometime the url changes back to normal i.e http://www.slipen.com/forum/f8-anime.html ..

this happene with all the links of the forums.

Please suggest a solution

where are you man ?!!!!!!!!!!

[Gastongr]

i just read all the 47 thread pages!
This is a great hack but still needs some work. Give Dean some time.
To those who want a number of posts per page different than 10 and don't want to update (or can't update) to the latest beta version, you can replace

pp=10

in the .htaccess file for anything you want

I have 20 replies before page splits, yet this hack forces my showthread to be 10, so it results in my forumdisplay to have the page numbers based on 20 replies and inside the thread there is 4 pages, when my thread should only be 2.

changing pp=20 will solve that

Thanks
