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.

I will add this in the next major relase, for it i will rewrite all the code!

It will have 3 options:
f##/##/
f##/threadname-##/
forumname-##/threadname-##/

Plus, you will allowed to modific the url structure how do you want, editing only one file.
Plus plus: the forumname-## will be indipendent from the forum name, with this, if you change it, you will not redirect thousands of threads

Sounds good. Thank you

Hi Jeff...

I installed the new vbadvanced plugin but it does not work for me, the URLS are not rewritten. My templates are heavily modified and i do not use $mods['title'] anywhere. In my templates I have links like so: $vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$news[threadid]">$news[title]</a>

Is it possible to rewrite this somehow?

Cheers,
Ian

Easly do the file (and no template) modification (is only one!) and delete the specificated line!

Wait the next major version, than you will only have to set the url structure in the admincp (but it will no have keywords)

Sorry i didn't see it
Try to reverte the template (first like test locally) or replace it with $mods[title] in the vb template.

Hi Jeff... Reverting templates is not an option for me, and I cannot use mods[title] the way you have it. I editted the plugin like this:

PHP Code:

$news['url'] = tfseo_url($news['title']); 


And then in the template adv_portal_newsbits I use it like so:

PHP Code:

$vboptions[bburl]/f$news[forumid]/$news[url]-$news[threadid]/ 


It works. But how can I do the same for the template adv_portal_newsbits_attach_thumb? Do I need another plugin?

Cheers

[superjeff]

Good!
I don't see nothing to rewrite in that template:

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;d=$attachment[dateline]"<if condition="$show['newwindow']"> target="_blank"</if>><img src="$vboptions[bburl]/attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;stc=1&amp;thumb=1&amp;d=$attachment[thumbnail_dateline]" class="thumbnail" border="0" alt="<phrase 1="$attachment[filename]" 2="$attachment[counter]" 3="$attachment[filesize]" 4="$attachment[attachmentid]">$vbphrase[image_larger_version_x_y_z]</phrase>" /></a> &nbsp;

Were i wrong?
