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:

        These results are probably not that reliable.

Like you can see product takes about +10ms per request.

This product will be updatefor long time, I welcome (and really do ask for) any feedback, suggestions, issues, etc...

If you install it, click install.

Note: vbulletin will have by default a rewrite system from version 4.0 (beta should coming next month, april). I relly suggest you to wait, and not use this product. If the vb's rewrite will be great, i will no more update this product.

Another thing JEFF if you can help, vbadvanced plugin does not re-write news archives and recent threads and also the [Read More] link in news items.

This bug is fixed with Version 2.1 - I think you have 2.05 installed

Hi, no I have 2.1 installed, it seems to still be present.

Ah, I disabled it, and re-enabled it and now they work, weird !

Any hint on this error
I have 3.7.3 installed
I have found that after install of TfSEO the link View first unread link is (some times) directing you to forum indez instead first unread. It happened after my first attempt to install TfSEO. FOr the moment is deactivated and files reverted to original untill I found a fix for the error.
Unfortunately I am a newbie in programming and VB.
Help is much apreciated.

[Pete2007]

Hi all,

We have installed this module, and all codes seems to be correct, but no changes, please can someone help?

Pete

[imedic]

@ Pete
Things to check:
Upload all files (including renamed .htaccess)
Activate the product from Options
Select what to rewrite (forum, threads, posts)
Base url of the site no / at the end if you enable redirect
Language different than english italian, hungaria, vietnamees...
Hope it helps

I did manage to make mine to work but still I have errors only on index page

I think this is a bug in the .htaccess file.
Could you give me an "infected" url (that have this problem)?
Thanks

EDIT: about your error in homepage, go to the plugin called "Generate thread url" and add at the top:

PHP Code:

error_reporting(0); 


[imedic]

Here is the link to forum index where u can see the error. After the edit suggested by you I got now only one error just on main page (the link provided) not aprox 10 repeats of the error .
All rest appear to work fine and rewrite except romanian chars
Here is a smaple of a thread using all special romanian chars

This mod help the forum by positioning it higher in google ranking so more users will see when they search something you have in the forum your forum link because is optimised. SEO optimised.

For user point of view is no change unless they bookmark outside vb topics in yoour forum. They will lose all bookmarks after the rewrite
