Forum URLs


forum/f[forum_id]/
works

forum/[forum_title]/
does not work

bug?

Maybe you have two forums with the same title, so in the second instance it is throwing an error there? Does forum/[forum_title]-[forum_id]/ work?

Only have one forum (vBulletin Dev Board)

Yes, forum/[forum_title]-[forum_id]/ does work.

Do you have any CRRs defined?

the forum name was 'main forum' (/main-forum/). Seems to be a conflict with 'forum/' CRR, because when I renamed the forum 'main' it works.

Warning: require(main-forum.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /vbseo.php on line 1621

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'main-forum.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /vbseo.php on line 1621

What was your CRR for forum?

Do you have a CRR's set? Maybe ....

Code:

'forum\.php' => 'forum/'

Set? if so add the Claret ^ and $ in the rewrite... IE...

Code:

'^forum\.php$' => 'forum/'

Hit the nail on the head

I did indeed have

Code:

'forum\.php' => 'forum/'

and fogot the ^

Thank you.

Works now

Okay great, that was my idea as well. Glad it is working.
