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

I installed this one on my Testboard and had some problems. The [L] flag won't work for me. I used the [R] flag and also some combination of both. I all cases it worked, but I get the old URL style "forumdisplay.php?f=xxx" after useing the new link.

Is there something I'm missing? We are using Apache2. Our access logs shows me a 400 error when I use the [L] flag alone.

Any idea?

Make sure you have mod_rewrite enabled in httpd.conf (uncomment the LoadModule line IIRC)

wonderful tool. :classic:
I want to use it in an german board and maybe it is possible to replace the ???'s in something like this:

PHP Code:

      $fromtitle = array('und', ' ', '?',  '?',  '?',  '?');
    $totitle =   array('-',   '-', 'ae', 'oe', 'ue', 'ss');
    $titlenew = strtolower(str_replace($fromtitle, $totitle, $title)); 


So it is f?r any languages useful.

2. i use also the vBadvanced Portal. How can I rewrite the Urls there too?

If you copy the original .htacess into your webspace, you can delete it, but you must not.
If you loaded it as a plugin, you have to delete it as a plugin

Found it! My ************ confixx server software placed the rewrite rules in the virtualhost part, not in the directory. So putting it into the directory part worked.
