Automatically rewrite custom forum links

[Mute]

Just have a quick question. I recently purchased vBSEO and installed it. Working great and loving the new friendly URLs. I have a fair bit of custom code on my site which has forum thread and blog links on the custom home page and in the right menu. I was very pleased and surprised to see that vBSEO automatically converted these to their friendly state.

I made a small change to the .htaccess last night for something unrelated and it seems in the process, I've broken the automatic conversion.

What's really weird though, if I access the the IP address of the site rather than the domain, I get the automatic conversion!

It's odd that it IS rewriting on the IP-based entry. Not rewriting should be the expected case.

You should see this documentation for more info. Specifcally, you will need to wrap your custom page's links in the vbseo_any_url() function in #7

If I can get it to do it without having to change my code, then that's the better path.

If it's doing it for the IP, then it must be possible to do it for the URL yeah?

Hello,

links in the right menu have "../" in them:

<a title="Friday Five: Tantrums, a fluke shot and tributes" href="http://www.vbseo.com/f2/blog.php?b=578" rel="nofollow">

you should change it to:

<a title="Friday Five: Tantrums, a fluke shot and tributes" href="blog.php?b=578" rel="nofollow">

(when I access your site using IP it redirects me to the domain name)

That's it, you've nailed it! All fixed now.

Thanks mate.
