Amen Polo,
It is a bit confusing
(the showthread.php edits should be separate). Obviously, the wrong tags got wrapped around that one part.
And anyone who has edited a lot of their existing templates (as I have) wouldn't want to upload a new xml and overwrite. I isolated and copied the individual template sections from the xml file and then compared them to my existing templates using a great utility called 'Beyond Compare'. It compares two files of a similar type, and shows you the differences between the two. You can then choose to copy line by line from one file to the other.
Also, it would be nice to put all those edits into a zip file for downloading rather than trying to copy directly from the post (pain in the neck).
Just my two cents added.
John

Hey Dani,
Thanks for the tutorial, great job. I am experiencing a problem though, which is causing a bit of trouble since my forum is pretty active. I did all the file edits, but the links to threads don't go anywhere. For example, on forum display, when I click a thread, it goes to http://*.com/lastpostinthread3050.html but nothing is there, so I just get a 404 error. I have uploaded the .htaccess file that you have provided as well in the directory vBulletin is in.

just my suggestionsthank you for evertyig dani, this hack is really good
I'm not a coder and this did cause me a small problem until I noticed the error.
[/html]
showthread.php
[html]
As I read it now the html end and start tags need to be removed. Plus the file is showthread.php.
It really would be great if the initial code was corrected, after all so much work has already gone into its.

I thought that I'd provide the link for Beyond Compare here as this could be very helpful.

Has anyone worked out what alterations need to be made to vbAdvanced so that this great hack can be incorporated into that also? Which files need to be altered and what are the changes?

Greetings Dani,
We just installed your vBulletin mod_rewrite for vB 3.0.7 hack and are quite excited about it.
It seems it's no longer possible to merge threads because VB doesn't recognize the html URLs.
Any idea on a workaround for this?
BTW, I'll add your site to my directory as a token of gratitude for your smart hack.
Best Regards....

I must say that really is some forum, customization is wonderful, where did the Calendar|Clock come from. Why are you using cmps_index.php? instead od index.php. Please provide the code if possible for the re-write in vbAdvanced.

Thank you for helping us out with a link. It's very appreciated.
When typing a URL into the merge thread textbox, simply enter t=XXX or showthread.php?t=XXX (the old non mod_rewritten version of the URLs)
