Your opinion please!

Hello, i changed the location of my forums from domain.com/forums/ to domain.com/

I have also VBA on domain.com/ , so i made the appropriate changes for to work with the forum (forum.php).

How can i make my forums look like as it was before? eg. domain.com/forum/f23/

The only way i could come up to is to put in vbseocp.php in the Custom Rewrite Rules section this line:
'^forum\.php$' => 'forum/'

well, everything is looking great, i also changed each and every one setting from the URL Rewrite Settings section to be like:
eg for forum url: forum/f[forum_id]/

This seems to work just fine!

What i want to know is if there is another more "smart" way to do all that, and to make the vboptions[bburl] variable to be http://domain.com/forum without breaking everything!
i use that variable in many templates and really want to have a way to make that thing work.

Thanks (i did all this because i wanted /blog to be in the root of the domain, not under /forum )

Also, i want to ask, where is the documentation and/or download page for your addons to theese hacks: VBA, downloads 2, PhotoPost PHP Pro Gallery !

And if there is a way to put also PhotoPost PHP Pro Gallery in the root dir ( domain.com/ ) and work the same as is now (domain.com/gallery/)
Cheers!

EDIT: A Problem here: people that are on the /forum/ show in online.php as unknown location /forum.php
Do you know why is that happening? How can i fix it?


Generally i must say that vbseo is something special, it is so flexible to build my sef urls!

Let me get this straight. You moved your vbulletin out from /forum and into the root. Then you named the vb index.php to forum.php, and I am assuming the vbadvanced index was index.php. Now you want it all to be yoursite.com/forum/, which it seems like you did with the CRR's. Now you want the forums to show as the yoursite.com/forum/f[forum_id]/?

You sound like you are just back at square 1 before you started all of this. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Also, for the unknown location, check this tutorial out: [How-To] vBulletin API Basics: Creating Custom Pages & Misc. - vBulletin.org Forum

Hello there, i wanted to do this in order /blog/ to be in the root of the domain.
It is working fine, i just asked if there is a "native" way to do this, or if mine is ok!

Thanks for the respond!

Well if you have it all in the same directory right now, I think it will do what you are wanting. However, if you want it to be /forum/f[forum_id]/ then you must put that whole part in the vbseocp.php under the extra settings for the URL rewrite. As of currently it would only be yoursite.com/f[forum_id]/
