Re: vBulletin mod_rewrite

Quote originally posted by Ted S ...

I really liked the idea of the titles in the url so I played aroung with modrewite and came up with this:

[php]RewriteRule ^/f([0-9]+)-(.*)\.html$ /forumdisplay.php?forumid=$1 [L][/php]

This tells modrewrite to forward any url fXID-XTEXT-.html to the forumdisplay.php?forumid=$XID url, this way you can have any text you want but since the ID is used in the URL, it is possible to use one rewrite rule for every forum.

To go along with this, you need to modify your forumbit templates to use the link
[php]<a href="f$forum[forumid]-$forum[url].html">[/php]

No files need to be changed as far as I can recall.

So far I am testing this on a template that my users don't access so please confirm this works for you before putting it on a live site.

Thanks for the wonderful hack, I had limited spidering in the past and it worked wonders so I can only expect even better results from this deep spidering system.

Hello,

how can I use "titles in urls" for topics? Can you say me that? I have use it in my IPB and it's very sexy. :cheesy:

Thanks

Re: vBulletin mod_rewrite

Sorry to be a pain but I would love this hack to work but I have obviously done something wrong

the forums come up correctly but I get a 404 error on every page. I have redone the hack from start three times now but the same thing always happens

You can see at www.forums.ic-games.co.uk

Any idea whats up? I have tried to read as much of this thread as I can put its getting on 12 pages and I may have missed something.

Any help appreciated

Re: vBulletin mod_rewrite

I have vbulletin 3.0.3.

I was looking at the instructions that you outlined in the first message of the thread. You stated to edit forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost and use the following line:

<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">

I looked at this file and it already contained this line. I have never edited this template before. Is your hack recommended for version 3.0.3?

Re: vBulletin mod_rewrite

Yes, it works for any version of vBulletin. I think that you musunderstood the instructions. It says to edit forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost and FIND that line ... which apparently you did, and to replace it with something else.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Some questions...

1) Is it possible to give me an example of what I may replace that line with?

2) It looks like this thread is quite long. Are all of the suggested hacks in the first message of this thread?

Re: vBulletin mod_rewrite

Please ignore question #1. I saw the replace line of:

<a href="$forum[url].html">

at the end of the message.

Re: vBulletin mod_rewrite

Sorry to sound dumb here, but which mod works?
In other words do I follow the orignal, or the second one cscgal started? The one TedS did or do I combine the two?

My forum is new, and with no visitors to speak of now is a good time to get in and customise it, but errr I'm not sure which one I should do.

Re: vBulletin mod_rewrite

I notice there is another one started by another user. Do I use that one instead of this one?
