VBSEO and photopost

I have photopost integrated with by Vbulletin application. I have a very contented user of VBSEO but was wondering would I be able to extend the facility to cover the rewrite of image gallery urls?

Cheers,

Alan

PhotoPost has a built in option to use "search engine friendly" URLs.

lol I use it for 2 years and didn't even know that!

Where do you set it on?

thanks

It's been a while since I used it, but just look around in the admin settings. I think they label it "Search Engine Friendly URLs".

Yeah it was already turned on ...

You have like "/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/2465/cat/556"

so its not near as good as vbseo rewrited url's...

I think it should be possible.. can you give me a link to your photopost installation?

I can go through it and write up some CRR's for you to use.

Ok found your forum url, but noticed you already have the SEF url's active, so it will be hard for me to make CRR's from that.

I'll go through the photopost demo on their site and whip up some CRR's from there.

Np.. I've gotta a class to head out for now, but I should get stuck into this when I get back.

Edit: Please fix your message, I thought I was quoting you while I was in effect editing your message. Sorry :(

Hehe not a prob, Happens to me all the time as well

Ok here's something I quickly did.. not too sure if it'll work since I don't have photopost.

'gallery/index\.php\?cat=(\d+)$' => 'index-cat$1.html'
'gallery/showgallery\.php\?cat=(\d+)$' => 'cat$1.html'
'gallery/showgallery\.php\?cat=(\d+)&page=(\d+)' => 'cat$1-$2.html'
'gallery/showphoto\.php\?photo=(\d+)$' => 'image$1.html'
'gallery/showphoto\.php\?photo=(\d+)&cat=(\d+)' => 'image$1-$2.html'
'gallery/showgallery\.php\?cat=(\d+)&ppuser=(\d+)' => 'cat$1-user$2.html'
'gallery/showgallery\.php\?cat=all&si=(\w+)' => 'keyword$1.html'
'gallery/member\.php\?uid=(\d+)' => 'member$1.html'
'gallery/showmembers\.php\?cat=(\d+)' => 'member-cat$1.html'

There's no doubt some missing but you should get an idea on how to do them now.

Also if it doesn't work add this to you .htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} gallery/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&vbseorelpath=./&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Of course change gallery/ in both the CRR's and the .htaccess code to whatever directory your photopost is in.

I'd be interested to hear more about using vBSEO with Photopost. I just installed and set up photopost. It would be great to use vBSEO with it -- seems like a lot of work?

I have photopost installed in a different directory than my forum and it's using a separate mySQL db if that makes any difference.

I'm not currently using the SEO friendly URL's of Photopost because it was wreaking a bit of havoc on my templates.

Let me know how this works out.

i found out that the... photopost template has a extra closing table ... thats probally why its wrecking your templats

I am using photopost as well here: http://gallery.pcapex.com

I added the rewrite rules but removed the gallery/ part and changed the .htaccess to / from /gallery. The pages load but nothing is being rewritten. Do i need to have the vbseo.php file in the gallery directory?

Exact same situation here.

I would love to see a VbSEO add-on for photopost
