vBulletin 3.x Thread-Links as Thread-Title

[klamm]

If you choose a rewritten Thread/Post-Link as Thread-Title, you are redirected to the thread, mentioned as title, instead to the thread itself.

example:
http://www.myimg.de/?img=vbseo026b6.png
title: http://www.klamm.de/forum/externe-loseseiten/351587-offizieller-casino-xxl-thread-kein-supporthread-125.html#post6159866

link to thread with the above title
http://www.klamm.de/forum/mod-sprechstunde/354867-http-www-klamm-de-forum-externe-loseseiten-351587-offizieller-casino-xxl-thread-kein-supporthread-125-html-post6159866.html

... redirects to
http://www.klamm.de/forum/externe-loseseiten/351587-offizieller-casino-xxl-thread-kein-supporthread-125.html#post6159866 (the title)

Theres no possibillity to get to the new thread.
You have to rename it before.

Edit: Seems that the problem only occurs if the title is a link with an post-anchor

It is not a bug at all

Offizieller Casino-xxl-Thread Kein Supporthread - Seite 125 - klamm-Forum

conflicts with go to post url

You can either update your go to post rewrite rules or use a different title.

You can either update your go to post rewrite rules

I have nothing changed @ standard setup of vb 3.8.x.

With vbSEO turned off it works. (certainly, because you dont have named links ...)
So - in my opinion - it's a situation you have to consider in the rewrite rules@vbSEO.

I think the problem, is, that you cant say, if the post-anchor at the end belongs to the title (right) or to the thread (false). Solution: If thread-ID is given (at the beginning, 354867) the thread-ID counts! and if theres a post anchor which doesn't fit this thread-id, it will be ignored. At the moment, the post-jump is more worthy than the thread-id. If the thread-id does not match the post jump, it will be replaced with the "right" thread, leading to this problem.

Yes: Look at this fancy example

(this thread, invalid post-anchor -> redirect to matching thread)

Hello,

try to modify functions_vbseo_createurl.php file:
find:

if ((preg_match('#[-_\s]\d+$#', $title) || !$title)) 

replace with:

if ((preg_match('#[-_\s](?:post)\d+$#', $title) || !$title))

Ahh, the "a"-trick.
Works like a charm and should be build in in future releases ...
Thx!

OHH
The post12345 -a trick works ... but the threads, ending with numbers are no longer "a"-t.
