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.

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.

Ok I have the tfseo installed 2.1 version on my vbulletin 3.7.4 patch level

When I click the forum category it is fine, but when each topic is listen when you click on it takes it to a page on my server that shows it doesnt exist:

for example:
http://radardetectorreview.net/f4/ra...ct-reviews-28/

shows it isnt found?

how would I fix this?

[freni32]

here is what shows up when trying to go to thread pages:

The requested URL /f4/radar-detector-product-reviews-28/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

superjeff can u fix cmps module pls?

[ambistia]

How do I get to the Admin CP panel? I have installed with Vbulletin version 3.7.3.

[ambistia]

Once the mod is installed, should the URL's change automatically or will I have to edit another file for the URL rewrites to start taking place?

Enable product from admincp. It is disabled my default.

No, enable the product and set-up settings (acp => vbsettings => tfseo)

[ambistia]

Where in the admincp do I enable the tfseo? I don't understand how to get to that area. I am using 3.7.3

Thanks Jeff

[Hitterman]

Enable plugin from product manager. Go to settings => tfseo.

When the plugin is working, how can I rename the forum URL's from the default setting such as /f5/ or /f2/ to something more friendly such as /tacos/ and /burritos/ ?
