Blog redirection mod_rewrite

[cclaerhout]

Hello, coud you please enable "username" variable for "blog.php", like it's already the case for "member.php". I would like to make this redirection :


RewriteRule ^blog/(.*)$ /forum/blog.php?username=$1 [R=302,L]

Thank you

It should already be there, I pestered freddie about it in the beta.

Sorry it's working. I misdunderstood "Blog Entries" page and my personal blog page. Thank you ^^ I was expecting a error message instead of "blog entries" page. By the way, i've just noticed something different, when you enter a username that has no blog page, the display isn't the same on my website than here :
http://www.forumasie.com/forum/blog.php?username=technologue
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/blog.php?username=p23

I prefer yours :) ^^

This is odd too, since we're on error messages. This is what we get as a message when we try to go to a blog, as a guest, owned by a member set to invisible on the forum...

Here is another solution for a better redirection

Open your .htaccess file located in the root of your website
Add this line :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^blog/(.*)$ /forum/blog.php?username=$1 [L]N.B : don't put again "RewriteEngine on" if it's already above

Open the BLOG template
Search :

$headincludeand ADD ABOVE :

<base href="$vboptions[bburl]/" />Everything should work fine now

Has to do with if the user has visited their blog page, or if you have run the blog user counter, which will show the more detailed page after. I wish it would not create db entries for blog users that do not have blog creation permissions, it just takes up space, I prefer the short message that the blog does not exist.

Example : http://www.forumasie.com/blog/sedo
Any way to have it display as the default, so they know they can use this URL? Thanks

Thank you !!!
I've pressed "Rebuild Blog User Information" and that has solved the display problem :)
