vRewrite - SEOed URLs for vBulletin Details »» | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
About
vRewrite is an advance but simple system to rewrite vB's URLs. The rewrite system uses preg_match_all and str_replace to rewrite the URLs. It will rewrite any URLs that are dynamic ex: showthread.php?t= to /the-forum/title-of-the-forum-id.html. Why? SEs (Search Engines) rate results based on filename. Not only that, but most SEs give a "boost" to static URLs (what we do here) versus dynamic URLs. vRewrite accomplishes both of this, for all URLs that a search engine (or a guest) will see. Installation Please download vRewrite.zip and read install.html for more information on how to install it. Requirements vRewrite assumes that you are using Apache with the mod_rewrite module enabled, and running vBulletin 3.5.x. However, if you ask for support here on IIS' module or on vBulletin 3.0.x - I will be more then happy to assist you. Contributions I would like to thank Chroder and Cole for assisting me release vRewrite. I could not have released it if it wasn't for them. I would like to thank the following people/boards for helping beta test vRewrite and making it a better product. Gaming Ultimate, BP Gaming, NBS Designz Cyclez, Hosting-Talk and Forum University. Copyright I've spent many hours working and perfecting vRewrite. The only thing I ask you to do is if you use it, please keep the link back. If you wish to put it in your style instead, simply remove or comment out that line. However, if you use vRewrite you MUST link back. That is the only thing I ask. Known Issues There are no known issues with the latest release (1.0). Support / Issues If you have any problems or discover a bug please post here in this thread. I have also included my email in the install.html email for one-on-one support. The only thing I ask you is please do not post this email address publicly - it is my personal email. Changelog 1.5 Release - vRewrite 1.5 has become stable, and all users under 1.5 RC3 and 1.0 need to upgrade. Support for 1.0 will no longer be offered, and you will be told simply to upgrade.

The only broken link I can find on mine -- after using the htaccess generator -- are the 'new posts' links from my homepage and from my navbar. I run a vbadvanced homepage, what fixes do I need for that?
My links go to "http://www.braves-nation.com/forums//forums/search-getnew.html/" instead of "http://www.braves-nation.com/forums/search-getnew.html/" Anyway to get that extra /forums/ out of there for links from my homepage -- mainly my welcome block -- and my navbar? Edit: By the way, my links in the navbar are talking about the ones in the drop-down menu that says 'New Posts In' Also, sometimes instead of going to ""http://www.braves-nation.com/forums/search-getnew.html/" it goes to "http://www.braves-nation.com/forums/search-getnew.html/search.php?searchid=3070" and I get a 404. Any fixes? Edit2: Fixed. I just disabled the searches. Duh. |

There is a problem with vRewrite when using it with the "redirect threads" option enabled. If you try to change thread modes it will not let you because the redirected URL does not include the "mode" variable. After hacking several plugins to no avail, I discovered that the plugin attached to the "global_complete" hook is incorrectly rewriting the links and removing the "mode" variable. After further study, I discovered that the problem was not happening on the "hybrid" mode link, but it was happening on the "linear" and "threaded" mode links. If you rearrange the order of the variables in the SHOWTHREAD template, it stops vRewrite from rewriting those links improperly. You simply need to make this small change to your SHOWTHREAD template:

EDIT: After further study, it appears that you also need to modify your "VRewrite - redirect handling" plugin (attached to the global_start hook). Simply replace it with this edited code to keep the redirect script from destroying the "mode" variable. PHP Code:
