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:

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

Live Demos

1. Light
2. Medium
3. Heavy

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.

I dont get the following setting:
With this option you can localize in your language the "page" word.
I am using romanian language as default so is this meaning I need to put there "pagina" in romanian or page as it is ?

I will try to make a modification for Romanian language and post it here. Correct me if it is wrong pls.

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
<?php
function remove_accents($string){
    return strtr($string,
                "&@ă?şţ?",
                "eaaista");
}
?>

Unfortunately is not working. I needed to add charset=utf-8 or the ă?şşţ? will not show in the file. I dont know if it is correct php or vb point of view.

If I log in and set automatic log in I get this error (simple log in is ok):

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/eugenol/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php
Line: 3243

If I click on forum home link I get also the above error.
If I click new messages it shows and then all is ok including index url

I have manually clear cookies.
I just activate rewrite index url but it was not the cause (I get error also when feature not active).

Edit: I will apreciate allot any help since I have the product activated and error showing on live forum. I dont want to deactivate it so I mess with google too much

And after more testing I have found that previous error:

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [path]/includes/functions_forumlist.php(393) : eval()'d code on line 347

Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Argument must be an array in [path]/includes/functions_forumlist.php(393) : eval()'d code on line 348

Appears only while browsing index and categories of forums. if I click on a forum and I see threads no error.

Viewing forum categories is possbile only with Drupal like setting. All other settings (Directory Directory, TfSEO 1 Compatible* , .HTML) mess the view of the page totaly.

Activate the product from Options
Select what to rewrite (forum, threads, posts)
Base url of the site no / at the end if you enable redirect
Language different than english italian, hungaria, vietnamees...
Hope it helps

I did manage to make mine to work but still I have errors only on index page

Hi,

We have done what you have suggested but still no url change at all, we have also changed the .htaccess file, do you think there is an actual problem with the .htaccess file or would you suggestion we reinstall?

Thanks again!

[nesta1]

I would reinstall if I was in your situation. Check also if your server can work with .htaccess Not shure (I am newbie afterall) but on some servers is done different.
Or maybe if you have proxy you revisit only cashed pages not the live sever. Not shure about that too.
Just brainstorming , maybe a pro will give you more info.

Thanks for your advice.

I'll re-install and see what happens

The locazition of the "page" word should work correctly. If not, edit the included functions_tfseo_type_xxx.
You can't use

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">

!!!

Use an editor like Notepad ++ and set the charset to utf-8, and remove that line!

You get too much error. disinstall the plugin.
