Re: vBulletin mod_rewrite

I tried this and joined here after your post at seoforums. I need your help. There were a few changes from your vb 3.0.1 to vb 3.0.3.

I put the changs in that you states through your steps. First off thanks for the post and the mod, it is outstanding. I was wondering if you could help me! Is there anyway that you would be willing to look at my test forums and tell me what is wrong with what I did

this is what my htaccess file looks like!

Re: vBulletin mod_rewrite

acutally ma'am i was able to get this to work! It works perfectly and this is an awesome modification. The only question that I have is
when you click on this link (example)

http://www.sportsrant.com/forums/new...hread3503.html

then it should go to that URL, instead is goes to the regular php post, but it goes to:

http://www.sportsrant.com/forums/sho...8619#post58619

Is there anyway to change that also!!

Re: vBulletin mod_rewrite

I sent this email to another VB member here to see one problem with this tweak

he only thing that gets me about this is from the forums home page! (EXAMPLE)

This link here: http://www.sportsrant.com/forums/new...hread3501.html takes you to the latest thread like it should: http://www.sportsrant.com/forums/sho...8579#post58579 and I do not believe this is good for SEO! If you go into that forum, even on your site, and click on http://www.sportsrant.com/forums/thread3501.html which is the same post and actually goes to the thread. Do you understand where I am coming from! Can this be fixed or tweaked to work, there has to be away. It will make it even more SEO!!

Re: vBulletin mod_rewrite

The current way of doing things is where the links to newpostinthreadXXX.html and lastpostinthreadXXX.html redirect to their showthread.php? counterparts. The following mini-tutorial will fix that:

STEP ONE

Add the following line to your .htaccess file:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
RewriteRule ^post([0-9]+).html$ showthread.php?p=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^post([0-9]+).html$ showthread.php?p=$1 [L]

STEP TWO

All of the following changes need to be made to the showthread.php file:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
exec_header_redirect("showthread.php?$session[sessionurl_js]p=$getlastpost[postid]$highlightwords#post$getlastpost[postid]");
exec_header_redirect("showthread.php?$session[sessionurl_js]p=$getlastpost[postid]$highlightwords#post$getlastpost[postid]");

should be replaced with

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
exec_header_redirect("post$getlastpost[postid].html#post$getlastpost[postid]");
exec_header_redirect("post$getlastpost[postid].html#post$getlastpost[postid]");

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
exec_header_redirect("showthread.php?$session[sessionurl_js]p=$posts[postid]$highlightwords#post$posts[postid]");
exec_header_redirect("showthread.php?$session[sessionurl_js]p=$posts[postid]$highlightwords#post$posts[postid]");

should be replaced with

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
exec_header_redirect("post$posts[postid].html#post$posts[postid]");
exec_header_redirect("post$posts[postid].html#post$posts[postid]");

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
exec_header_redirect("showthread.php?$session[sessionurl_js]t=$threadinfo[threadid]&goto=lastpost$highlightwords");
exec_header_redirect("showthread.php?$session[sessionurl_js]t=$threadinfo[threadid]&goto=lastpost$highlightwords");

should be replaced with

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
exec_header_redirect("lastpostinthread$threadinfo[threadid].html");
exec_header_redirect("lastpostinthread$threadinfo[threadid].html");

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
exec_header_redirect("showthread.php?$session[sessionurl_js]t=$thread[pollid]");
exec_header_redirect("showthread.php?$session[sessionurl_js]t=$thread[pollid]");

should be replaced with

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
exec_header_redirect("thread$thread[pollid].html");
exec_header_redirect("thread$thread[pollid].html");

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$firstunread = 'showthread.php?' . $session['sessionurl'] . 't=' . $threadid . '&goto=newpost';
$firstunread = 'showthread.php?' . $session['sessionurl'] . 't=' . $threadid . '&goto=newpost';

should be replaced with

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$firstunread = 'newpostinthread' . $threadid . '.html';
$firstunread = 'newpostinthread' . $threadid . '.html';
