How do I integrate this with the userpage hack?

In my old htaccess file, I had:

RewriteRule ^$ index.php

RewriteRule (^[-_A-Za-z0-9\ ]*$) userpage.php?do=main&username=$1

This meant that urls like http://www.eaforums.com/forums/amykhar

went to
http://www.eaforums.com/forums/userp...ername=amykhar

If I put in that url now, I get:
Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

I imagine I can change my urls to point to http://www.eaforums.com/userpages/amykhar

or something similar. But, am looking for thoughts on the best option to pursue.

So far, I'm amazed by the seo mod. Of course, it's only been installed for 5 minutes.

Hi Amy,

vBSEO is trying to parse ANY url request and treats these links like a mistyped forum link.
And yes, a good option will be to switch your "Custom Userpages" hack to use "userpages/amykhar" like URLs (if possible). And to add the following rewrite rule:
RewriteRule ^userpages/(^[-_A-Za-z0-9\ ]*$) userpage.php?do=main&username=$1 [L]
BEFORE vBSEO's rewrite rules.

Thank you. I'll give it a shot later

amy, i am unable to get the rewrites to replace the user# with the user name....


i did get vbseo to rewrite the user number into .html ending, but i'd like the user name instead....

help!

thanks,

Handled this at vb.org where he originally posted. He misunderstood how it was supposed to work.
