Major Additions - Zoints SEO

********Please do not use this modification unless you are VERY well educated on SEO and forum modification********

Zoints is a company that believes that forums are the killer application of the internet. We want to empower forum owners to take their community to the next level. Therefore, Zoints has been developing an extremely powerful vBulletin forum SEO and revenue enhancing solution for more than two years now. However, because we are focusing on our Forum Network and Thread Tagging System, we have decided to release this SEO solution to the vBulletin community under the lgpl license. Zoints SEO is now open source and NOT supported by us. We hope that the vBulletin dev community comes together to take this already powerful solution and make it even better. Empower yourselves

Zoints SEO can be discussed here or http://network.zoints.com (again, we will not be providing official support).

Without further ado:

Would anyone know the rewrite rule syntax to add the forum name to the URL when viewing threads?

For instance, now when you view a forum you get this:

domain.com/forum-name.html

But when you view a thread you just get:

domain.com/thread-name.html

I would like to get this in the thread link:

domain.com/forum-name/thread-name.html

Any ideas? It's probably quite simple, but rewrite rules are not my strong point

I want to find function in your code instead of accented characters to reveal the url, because when I read the title, the url accented characters are not present.

For example:$text = str_replace("Ç","C",$text);

Where they add?
