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.

Live Demos

AdminCP Demo:

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.

[superjeff]

For a fast support, contact me directly like in the first post.
The first problem is because you haven't filled correctly the "BASE URL OF THE SITE" field in the admincp options. Fill it or disable the 301 REDIRECT.
For the second one.. can i have a screen?

This is no a problem! No url go to fxx without trailing slash! But, if you want to rewrite fxx to fxx/ you must edit the htaccess, doubling the line of code, ed so incrasing the server load.

Hi Jeff,

I have just found an issue while trying to move posts from one thread to another one by putting the URL (rewritten) of the destination thread where posts will be moved. vBulletin appears to don't recognize rewritten URLs, is this a fixable issue?

Thank you!

Jonathan.

[superjeff]

The manual fix (that i think you know) is insert the old url, to example http://forum/showthread.php?t=[the-thread-id-that-you-find-in-the-rewrite-url]
A "auto" fix will include a manual code edit i think..

But how I can get the un-rewritten URL? Should I need to temporaly disable the plugin each time that I want to do it?

[superjeff]

example of rewrite url:
http://forum/fxx/name-of-the-thread-[NUMBERS]/
The threadid is in the [NUMBERS]
So the "build" the url:
http.../forum/showthread.php?t=[NUMBERS]

[jscieza]

Oh! It was too obvious hehe... thank you!

[jscieza]

Jeff, I have just found a possible bug!

Look at this thread (or any in this forum): http://www.forosperu.net/f108/pagum-...al-y-el-20909/ and click on the link of any post (not the #1) and see what happens

Is this issue related with this plugin?

Thank you!

Jonathan.

[superjeff]

Yes, it is. Disable the plugin "301 redirect for post"
I go to eat and then check better..
