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

If you wait for the next version it'll work correctly on german boards. Also as stated on several occasions in this thread already, I will not be rewriting the lastpost links on the first page. Search if you want the reason.

I have it installed... but I am having a problem... I think I have mod_rewrite enabled but it does not appear to be working properly.

Please PM me with info on setting it up if you can, server is running Fedora Core 4.

Thanks

What version of apache are you using bitblaster?

[Dean C]

There are no apache issues with this version dan. That was just with the beta we tried on your forums (which will be the next publically available version).

[Dan]

Well still it could be an apache specific problem Dean

[COsborne]

I am running this plugin on my vb3.5.1 and users are driving me crazy with complaints that when they click last page it doesn't take them to the last page.

example:
http://www.theforumlounge.com/f14-sh...he-breeze.html

DAK's Daily WTF pics
Trolling Pbase

Both of those do it. Any suggestions of what is wrong?

[Dean C]

What are you talking about. What is clicking last page?
