[DC Seo vB URL Rewrite]

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

MySQL Error  : Duplicate entry '' for key 1
Error Number : 1062
Date         : Thursday, January 19th 2006 @ 02:31:31 AM
Script       : http://www.monster-designs.com/forum...ncp/plugin.php
Referrer     : http://www.monster-designs.com/forum...?do=productadd

Username     : Black Cobra
Classname    : vb_database

That was the problem i got when i installed it.

I am running vb 3.5.3 and the latest version form your site. this is a first time install.

[loonytune15]

I then got this error while trying to access a forum:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: clean_title() in /home/monster/public_html/forums/seourls.php on line 62

Could have something to do with the install prob i'm guessing

You didn't upload all the files it said to in the readme.txt file.

Hello I have a simple question, the new GOLD release does it allow to change style from any position of the forum?

Sorry I don't understand what you are asking?

But I wonder, why would you rewrite the rest of the board and keep usernames un-rewritten? I think it would be useful, I've had quite a few hits just for my user pages a lone and it would make it look cleaner - - in my opinion. Maybe you could add it to the xml file and leave it as an option to enable/disable?

Ok Dean, for example: If I am on this thread forum (my forum), is only a casual thread:
http://www.lottosqueeze.org/forum/f1...renalotto.html

and try to change my forum style from the bottom page, for example I select style "Forum", it dont change to this theme (style)..

well, but if I go on the index page:
http://www.lottosqueeze.org/forum/index.php

and try now to change the style, it allow to change and viceversa to other style in menu.

EDIT: however I still use the old version of this thread and not the new beta version of DC SEO

[Dean C]

Install the new version Antonio. This was fixed a long time ago
