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:

As for your Heavy Method problem... I don't see why you need to even use the Heavy Method if the keywords you are putting in are the same as the forum name anyways... Just use the Medium Method. The medium method creates the keywords based on the forum name to begin with... all the heavy method does is let you define them to something different.

I tried switching it to the medium method, but then my links look like
http://www.gfx-help.com/f94/
Instead of
http://www.gfx-help.com/Resources-f94/ (heavy mode)

I just don't want my links to show as
http://www.gfx-help.com/edit-this-fr...92/test-5-t28/
when someone views a thread, which is currently what is happening for me. Can anyone post what their htaccess looks like with heavy mode.

[Jaxel]

Okay... yet another bug! The < > (Previous Page, Next Page) links in threads, always go to the last page. Links end up like this "page3.html&page=2"...

New Broken Links list...
* View Post on soft-deleted posts
* Forum links in search results
* Previews/Next page in threads

[jammiedodger546]

Don't really want to read through 42 pages to look for a fix but:
when its enabled and a member is reading a thread, in the whos online it chucks an unknown location (then the url). Any ideas how to fix

[Jaxel]

Okay... here is the current list of bigs I have found...

1) Broken View Post link on Soft-Deleted Posts...
2) Broken Forum Links on Search Results Pages...
3) Broken < > (previous/next) links on page navigation for multipaged threads...
4) Unchached templates for pagenav and pagenav_pagelink for multipaged threads...
5) Complete uncompatibile with the Who's Online WOL system...
6) VBAdvanced: Incompatible in general, especially with Recent Threads module...

#4 is a BIG issue with me.

-Then click "Test 5" and the url changes and shows...
http://www.gfx-help.com/edit-this-fr...92/test-5-t28/

I am using heavy mode, I double checked the htaccess and it's got all of the changes needed. I also have that forum's keyword set to "GeneralChat", as you can see when you go to the category, but once you click into a thread it switches to edit-this-from-admincp-than-forum-f92. Am I missing something?

Also, in my previous post I said it was an IE only issue, but it happens in all browsers, I'm not sure why I didn't notice earlier....

Thanks

I am having the same exact problem. When looking at a forum list the rewrite works perfect, if you click on a thread, it puts edit-this-forum-admincp-than-forum back into the url.

Examples:
http://www.warhammer-forums.com/warh...discussion-f3/
http://www.warhammer-forums.com/edit...-ventrilo-t75/

Please help.

I just installed this a week or so ago, and I must say, it is a great mod. I have noticed a couple issues, though. I haven't read through all of the posts, but I did a search and didn't find any matches...

First, when viewing a user's profile and current activity, it now comes up as Unknowm Location and then gives a link to the thread they are viewing. Can this issue be resolved?

Next, I noticed that Sticky topics are all screwed up, as the style sheet information doesn't get stripped from the title, therefore the link becomes ".../span-style-color-span-style-color-0000ff-****-t#####".

Other than that, and a couple of issues which I did find are being resolved, this is a great product!

I have still not found any solution, so because of this issue and the issues that Jaxel reported I had to disabled the plug-in for now. Hopefully a new release will be coming soon, this is a great mod.
