Tags issue

firstly l know that support isnt provided for non-vb modifications.. however lm posting here on the off chance of finding a solution to an issue that may or may not have been due to a modification.

firstly, lve recently updated 4 forums to 3.7.* all of which are pretty similar.. however the tagging system pretty much fails!!

basically if you click on a tag and see the search page and the list of threads that match the tag, both the "thread Title" and "Forum Columb" redirect all clicks to my /forum/index.php, however topics with page numbers link correctly if you click on a page number.

l have attached an image, the red/organge underlined text redirects to /forum/index.php and the green underlined text notes links that go where they should do, to be honest lm completely baffled l have looked in the skins and everywhere l could think of but dont have any idea what the issue could be as the code should work since its locating part of the required information.

Does the same thing happen when you use the defualt style? it really looks like you have an unclosed html link somewhere breaking everything.

ok, after spending some major time with my Vbulletin setup thismorning (from like 3am til around 7) lve worked out what the issue was, sadly l guess you guys cant help..

its an issue with Zoints SEO, the spesific issue is in relation to url rewriting, if l have it turned on both thread titles and forum link doesnt work, it still doesnt explain why the page numbers work as such but l need to find a way to exclude the internal vbulletin tagging system from the SEO url rewriting plugin..


l did find some information ragarding an issue with another hack where they fixed it by doing the following

finding this in the Zoints SEO global_hook plugin

if (strpos($output, '"#top"'))
{
$output = str_replace('"#top"', '"#top" rel="nofollow"', $output);
}


and editing it to

if (strpos($output, '"#top"') && THIS_SCRIPT != 'vbgooglemapme')
{
$output = str_replace('"#top"', '"#top" rel="nofollow"', $output);
}


l did try messing around with it, but lm not sure what the "THIS_SCRIPT" varible should be, l tried guessing but lve had little luck.

You should follow up with your thread at vBulletin.org with your discovery, it should be able to help you somewhat :)

l doubt it, lve made 4 posts in a row prior to this with no reply to my issue, other users however are going on about how well it works.. sadly it doesnt like Zoints SEO and have no idea at the second how to exclude the tags.php or whatever from being somehow sent through the url rewrite engine.
