Zoints to vbSEO

I recently purchased vbSEO. However, I've had Zoints for several months and have some pages indexed.

I'm going to lose all these aren't I?

How can I check to see how many pages are indexed?


Advice? Bite the bullet and switch now for better long term gain?

I disabled Zoints for starters. I then followed all the vBSEO instructions.

The links changed to what I preferred. But all the pages come back 404 File Not FOund.

EVERY PAGE!!! What am I doing wrong?

If not please add the following lines just after RewriteEngine On line within .htaccess

Code:

RewriteRule ^[^/]+f([0-9]+)(p([0-9]+))?\.html$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=forumdisplay.php&f=$1&page=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^[^/]+t([0-9]+)(p([0-9]+))?\.html$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=showthread.php&t=$1&page=$3 [L]

That didn't work, one of my indexed pages that I just checked still came back invalid URL.

Hi everybody

I need to upgrade our forum ( Mondo3.com - Forum - Telefonia mobile 3G in Italia - Area di discussione su 3, l'UMTS, i gestori, i telefoni ) from VBB 3.6.x to 3.7.0, and at the same time I would like to migrate to vbSEO.

We are running zointsSEO at the moment, so I need first to disable it and then to install vbSEO.

I am trying to do it in the cleanest way possible, so I stumbled on this thread.

So what should I do? Just edit the .htaccess file adding the lines you put on the 2nd post of this thread? What else should I watch out?

Here is the current content of our .htaccess file:

Code:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]*-(f|all)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$ forumdisplay.php/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]*-(t|p)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$ showthread.php/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(index\.php|\.css) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(archive|sitemap)/(.*)$ $1/index.php/$2 [QSA,L]

Thank you in advance

well I believe that the simplest way would be just to set a redirect from zoints URLs and "forget" it, and then just configure vbSEO the way we need it.

If I understand it correctly, I should just point the "old" rewritten URLs to the vbseo.php file with the correct parameters, right?

I didn't see that one, just because I am not yet your customer

(that link tells me I am not enabled to see that forum)

I believe I will begin with buying vbSEO, then I will start experimenting

(edit: whoops your reply already disappeared :P)
