Mod Rewrite Friendly URLs => .htaccess

[scsa20]

Hmm... I tired both NavS and Matty Asia's codes for the mod rewrites and both gives me the same issue of creating a thread where I get a 404 error page when creating a new thread even though the thread does get created. The ending address is /forums/3-Test-post-2?p=3#post3

How can I rewrite the url that it becomes like this:
forum/f24/vbulletin-t8803.html

[MattyAsia]

You can add one more rule. This rule is for the 'Configure' link into the widget manager (admincp).

RewriteRule ^widget/config/([0-9]+) widget.php?r=config/$1&%{QUERY_STRING}

This works for me, it could help any other

I'll check that out when i wake up in the morning and add it if it fits and works

Hi Matty, I've sent you the class_core.php.
Hopefully it didn't go into your spam folder.
Thanks for helping.

I am going to be installing vb in root, where it is currently in /folder/ , how would this be integrated( along with a 301) into this htaccess?

MattyAsia, thanks for the code, this is great. Very helpful...

I notice that even after I've gotten the Mod Rewrite Friendly URLs working, my members' profiles still show up with their user number in the string (i.e. members/1-username). Is there any way to get the user number out and just have: members/username???

Welp, did a few tests and noticed something. Since the vbulletin instation is located in another directory on top of the root it seems to be wanting to go back to the root. Here's what I'm talking about:

If you go to the forums and go into a catagory it shows up as /forums/forums/2-Main-Forum in the address bar. Now if you go into a thread it shows up as forums/threads/8-test but after making a thread it tries to take you to /forums/8-test instead of /forums/threads/8-test

Is there any kind of fix for this?

did you add this to it?

RewriteRule ^widget/config/([0-9]+) widget.php?r=config/$1&%{QUERY_STRING}

This works for me, it could help any other

This will at least fix the configure part.

Edwin had confirmed it works for him in the bug tracker: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/proje...enoteid=102695

if i create a new article, then is no problem. i can edit the new article.

but the old articles from the last days, we cant edit, if i click on a old article from yesterday as sample -->we become a blank page ^^ but i think is a bug from cms i checked the problem on a second installation theire is the same problem without the .htaccess and standard url´s.........^^

Uh I tried this and I get a 403 forbidden after enabling rewrite in my server and restarting apache. Any ideas?

** fixed by adding Option Follow Sym Links

for anyone's reference.

I see that this doesn't work too well with blogs? Is there even support for rewriting blogs at the moment? I'm going to the blog area and I see stuff like this as the url:

blog.php?u=1065

And if you click it, it doesn't work (seems to just render what's on blog.php)

Shouldn't blog.php be /blogs/

I'm guessing vB4 just hasn't coded that in yet?

Oh, and tags.php? is also not rewrited yet. What's the status of that?
