[DC Seo vB URL Rewrite]

Information

• [high]vBulletin Version:[/high] 3.5.x

What does this modification do?
This modification will allow you to automatically have more search engine friendly URLs in your vBulletin. A forum which would normally display as forumdisplay?f=1 will now appear as f1-forumtitle.html and the same with threads. Having keywords in your URL can be of an advantage in search-engine ranking.

Requirements:

• You must have mod_rewrite apache module enabled on your server. Contact your host for more information.
• This will not work well for non-english boards as it strips most non-alpha numeric characters. E.g. ? would be stripped on french boards etc

No idea at the moment. I'm going to try and bundle the latest beta this weekend and send it to a few foreign boards for testing

You can send the information there way sure The rewriterule is terrible and the everything atom should only be used on very rare occasions. Also the rule should have a $ at the end but that's another issue for another day

I would be most grateful for a donation. Just send me an email via my website and I'll reply with my paypal details.

1. Bug in thread, when it displayes pages, i.g. page2 have http://www.alpari-idc.com/en/forum/t...his-forum.html and page 3 of 3 have - http://www.alpari-idc.com/en/forum/s...9&page=3&pp=10
why?
2. How about "Last post" in forum index? it have http://www.alpari-idc.com/en/forum/s...=newpost&t=291, but i want to have hack this too.

P.S. Sorry for my English.

1) I'm not aware of any bugs with the paging system. If anyone could show me a live example I'll look into it.

2) Please read earlier in the thread for the reason why I am not going to rewrite the lastpost URL.

Thanks again dean. I know i have a bit of a cheek here and all but can you offer them any advice ?

I haven't spoken to them and only use their software so please don't see it as those asking. I'm just curious how it could be made better and would pass on the info ..

Also one minor cosmetic issue with the plugin

When you view who's online if a user is in a thread you get

Unknown Location
/forum/f18-movies-on-dvd.html

I'm certainly not going to loose any sleep over it though Maybe something to look at for the next release ..

Sorry I don't have time to have a look into the software You'll have to take that up with them. As for the who's online issue, it's fixed in the next version.
