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:

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 decided to not more to vb4 because of this plugin
All the old link would become invalid, thus loosing traffic.
I personally couldn't afford such a thing, all the google search result becoming invalid etc...
All the link from other forum to my forum becoming invalid, etc...

was waiting for people to post result // issue with this plugin on vb4.
I personally would like it, but i though that this plugin wasn't required since there was a build in feature.
I even fixed bug in this plugin related to search and highlight text from search not working with the url-rewrite...
Not sure how you can expect to upgrade it to vb4 and keep it fully working...

Unless you have a lot of free time

You could either upgrade the plugin to vb4
Or post the format of vb4 url-rewrite, so that we can do some redirect of your plugin to the vb4 url rewrite...
And use the vb4 url rewrite without old link to become invalid...
Or a mix of them, anyway, I am looking forward to any solution out there since i paid for vb4 and haven't upgraded yet.

I'm still looking for a way to redirect the old urls of TFSEO to the new ones of VB4, becouse I lost a lot of traffic .

Me to, the TFSEO urls were a pain in my but. I finaly managed to redirect mosts urls to the correct topic.. but google still index the old urls

I think when i remove the rewrite rules it will be ok, but still i will lose a lot of visitors.

@ everyone about a compatible htaccess to upgrade to vb4 without losing google indexed pages:

I't reeeealy easy, use this htaccess:

RewriteEngine on

#First of all, the tfSEO rewrite rules:
#tfseo start here
RewriteRule ^(.*)t([0-9]+)(.*)newpost(.*)$ showthread.php?t=$2&goto=newpost [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)f(.*)/(.*)t([0-9]+)(.*)/post([0-9]+)(.*)$ showpost.php?p=$6 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)f(.*)/(.*)t([0-9]+)(.*)/([a-z]+)([0-9]+)(.*)$ showthread.php?t=$4&page=$7 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)f(.*)/(.*)t([0-9]+)(.*)$ showthread.php?t=$4 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)f([0-9]+)/([a-z]+)([0-9]+)(.*)$ forumdisplay.php?f=$2&page=$4 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^f([0-9]+)(.*)$ forumdisplay.php?f=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)-f([0-9]+)(.*)$ forumdisplay.php?f=$2 [QSA,L]
#tfseo ends here

#than what follows is the standart vbulletin 4 .htaccess file:

# If you are having problems or are using VirtualDocumentRoot, uncomment this line and set it to your vBulletin directory.
# RewriteBase /forum/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

# Forum
RewriteRule ^threads/.* showthread.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^forums/.* forumdisplay.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^members/.* member.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^blogs/.* blog.php [QSA]
ReWriteRule ^entries/.* entry.php [QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

# MVC
RewriteRule ^(?:(.*?)(?:/|$))(.*|$)$ $1.php?r=$2 [QSA]

Make sure that old urls are redirected on new ones, and you are done.

Easy, isn't?

--ah.. anyway i'm "superjeff", just with another account.

[daydie]

if i click directly to a thread in tfseo it comes up:

http://daydie.co.uk/download-movies-...5/newpost.html

which is great. but if i go into the forum first

http://daydie.co.uk/download-movies-f364/

and highlight and click a thread, it shows this:

http://daydie.co.uk/edit-this-from-a...-2007-t523343/

Ive edited the admincp bit, but says i havent on the threads. any way around this please?

[NeDra]

Hum daydie, I posted how to fix this if you look at the previous post from me.
It was a stupid error and it has never really been fixed.
You can fix it yourself...

I only have about 10 post, just read all my post...
I had the issue and fixed it and I'm pretty sure i wrote how to fix it.

[daydie]

Your a *,

this shud be a update on the released .xml, many ppl may come across this error.
