same thread name get converted

[hornstar6969]

Well I just noticed that some of my forums were all pointing to one forum because of how the software rewrites the urls.

for example I had some forum titles called

forum 1
xyz
aaa
bbb
ccc

forum 2
xyz
ddd
eee
fff

as an example


So when someone clicked on xyz it would go to forum 1 even if they clicked on it for forum 2.

I think this needs to be fixed somehow.

As i then had to manually changed all the forum names so they were slightly different.

Hello Matt,

since you have the same resulting URLs, when you enter the second subforum, vBulletin "thinks" you open the first one.

Solution
There are two ways to resolve this:

-----------------
1. a simpler one - to rename one of the subforums

-----------------
2. open vbseocp and change all URL formats in this way:
replace [forum_title] with [forum_path] in URL formats
then open config_vbseo.php file, find:

define('VBSEO_GET_FORUM_PATH', 0);

and REPLACE WITH:

define('VBSEO_GET_FORUM_PATH', 1);

after that your URLs will change to:
http://www.example.com/category1/subforum/
and
http://www.example.com/category2/subforum/
correspondingly.

Okay thanks, I chose option 1 already, but option 2 is another option for next time.

Thanks
