Scripts for redirecting the UBB directories?

[werehere]

I read that you are planning on releasing scripts that will redirect people from the UBB directories, is this around here somewhere already?

If not, then what do you recommend?

Simply make a file with the following code, and call it forumsummary.cgi, and Ultimate.cgi and upload it over your old files.


#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Location: http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/\n\n";

That is part of it yes, but what about all the links to threads (.html files) that are posted all over the internet?

I think that the best way to set this up would be just to do a global redirect from your UBB directory to your vBulletin home page. The problems for creating redirect HTML are numerous: PHP needs to have file write access - not applicable on all web hosts; the sheer number of pages that need creation would slow down the import process.
