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.

Like you can see product takes about +10ms per request.

For Support and question you can contact me at davide {at} techforum .it

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.

Hi,
I uploaded the files to ./includes/xml and /includes/

Installed and enabled the product, it says it is enabled and working but I cannot find the AdminCP options to rewrite teh link, etc.

Hi Jeff,
Installed the addon. However, after uploading the .htaccess file I get the following error when I go to my forum:

Server error!

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 500

Apache/2.2.9 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8h mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.2.6

I am using XAMPP. When I remove the .htaccess file, the site works fine.

this wouldn't compare at all to vbseo
you get what you pay for.. you have to decide if you want a CZ or a diamond

well...is it possible to remove the -f123 in the forums rewriting, so there will be just the name of the forum left?

[Jaxel]

the f123 is the important part... nothing else matters...

You can have:
/name-of-your-forum-f123/
/I-hate-you-f123/
/f123/

It will all go to the same place, because all it needs is the f123.

[space?]

grr...so really impossible to get the forums without the f123 ?
It is at least possible to remove the f and the t of forums(f) and threads(t)?

hi Jeff.. are you planning to upgrade this for all vbAdvanced modules? and what will happen if I upgrade my VB?
