vRewrite - SEOed URLs for vBulletin · **Released**: 01-04-2006

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

Didn't work anyway... Put it in a subdir of forum. and it didn't like it one bit. <grin>

I will definitely go the above route, thank you for pointing out the obvious... Hehe.

I definitely appreciate the fast response, I'm going to get on this and get it working now... Thanks again!

No problems, let me know if everything goes okay with you

jlaine · #**594** 03-11-2006, 10:12 PM

Yes... \m/

Appears everything is in order.

I appreciate the help.

You spurred me to moving everything forum related to the appropriate subdirectory, so I ended up keeping the gallery data there... Not a bad thing at all...

*edit*

Add the above to the newreply / newthread templates also - just in case you get anyone else that asks...

I have problems with the users and also with the last button of "Last Post", the users repeat some when entering the profile! =( I use vbulletin 3.5.4

Whoops! Sorry, I wish I had a copy of the old install.html, and I would know all this.

All fixed in 1.0.1

I'm having major beef, we've apparently narrowed it down to a single user... (whee!)

The username is rich'00, and if he's in any page display ie:

http://forum.carstereos.org/f-offici...-40-page2.html

(he's in page 2 of this, it works now because I had do disable the product, but if I enable it, you get this error message)

Code:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT userid, username FROM user WHERE username='Rich'00';

MySQL Error  : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '00'' at line 1 Error Number : 1064
