The quick 'n' dirty ultra simple vBulletin SEO hack - Page 3

This hack is working fine at my forums (vB 3.5.4).
I will check it in details and let you know if I come to know about any issues :)

Thanks for the great job.
Much appreciated.

I have FINALLY upgraded DaniWeb to 3.5. I can now positively confirm that this hack will work fine as a plugin by using the global_complete hook and an .htaccess file.

I have got a problem with this hack. I converts everything correctly but on the forum home it doesn't convert the main categories correctly. Please got http://www.webmastertalk.in and see the main categories url

Webhosting Forum - Converted URL: http://www.webmastertalk.in/.html
Similar is with Web Development Forum, Website Traffic Forum, Marketplace and Community Forum .

Could you please let me know what could I be doing wrong?

Is there anybody who can help me out :sad:

Thanks

Hi Dani,
I wonder and would like to ask you, how you can make forumdisplay's page navigation in html.

I applied your quick 'n dirty seo hack perfectly and I now have lots of traffic. But my forumdisplay's page navigation links are like this:

http://www.example.com/forumdisplay....e=2&order=desc

Instead of:
http://www.example.com/forum37-2-desc.html (Yours)

It is very important for me. I'd appreciate if you can say what I need to do.

Thanks

Hello,

I am trying to use your hack but i've got troubles... Could you please help me? I keep getting 404 errors once i modify the functions.php file. I did everything as detailled in the tutorial, then my links are modified (my links now look like: http://myurl.com/forum13.html or http://myurl.com/newpostinthread90.html) but every time i click on a link i get a 404 error...

Pleaaaaaase? I'm stuck here...

Works fine with 3.6.5

But there is a big mistake in htaccess code.

Never forget the line RewriteBase / juste below RewriteEngine.

For example, if you use htaccess in the domain name base, just let /
But if your forum is accessible by www.yousite.com/board/, put /forum/

Just check the reply before this one.
And after that, it will work fine.

I'll give it a go, thanks :)

Hi, I have a 3.6.5 version and my forum is in the directory "forum", the Htaccess is with "
RewriteBase /forum/

and the url's are always such as:
showthread.php?t=8
and not: thread35147.html...
When I type the rewrited url, it's ok.

In include/functions.inc
On:

$output = preg_replace($search_array, $replace_array, $output);
function print_output($vartext, $sendheader = [B]true[/B])

I have the value " true", it's good?

Hi, what is the daniweb.com vBulletin version?
3.6.5?
with the "The quick 'n' dirty ultra simple vBulletin SEO hack" post 3=#1 ?

DaniWeb is using vB 3.6 right now but we're using the same hack that I posted about in post #3.

Thanks for your fast reply.

I have one question:
Why, when I write the rewrited url, it is ok, the good page is posted.
But url's are not written automatically...
The urls are always in this format: showthread.php? t=xxx

hi

My ForumDisplay's numbered pages are unfortunately .php unlike yours. I mean, when I go to the 2nd page of any of my forums I see complicated php pages. How can I change this?

im having the same probleme , any help ? im using : vb 3.6.7
thanx

Hi cscgal,
judging from what I can see so far, this looks to be promising toy. However, I'm struggling a little with it and being greeted by internal server errors.
The php all works and is doing fine, but the moment I place the .htaccess file in place, I can display no pages at all from then on until I remove/rename the .htaccess, which is copy & pasted directly (having switched to plain text) from this thread into a notepad file.
This happens on my test forum, so as yet, I'm not going to apply it to my live forum until I know i can get it working.

I know my site can use the rewrite as my live site uses a .htaccess to rename member userid's into their names, so that doesnt' appear to be the issue.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I'd love to see this functionality on my site.

Regards,

Karl
