URL rewrite for pagination fails

Hi,



For Visitor Messaging Pagination I choosed this rewrite scheme:

Code:

membri/[user_name]-[user_id]/mesaje-[page]/

which fails. VBulletin is complaining that "No user was specified":

No user specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

The problem is with the "user-id". Even if the user-id is in the URL, VBSEO doesn't seem to pass the userid to Vbulletin.

The workaround is this:

Code:

membri/[user_name]-[user_id]/mesaje-[userid]-[page]/

Is there any reason for which the first URL is not working ?

For my board, the member list is rewritten like this:

membri/[user_name]-[user_id]/

So it seems logical to continue to use the same scheme (I choose this variant because the users on my board can use special characters in their usernames).

If you provide a patch, please notice that most probably all the other paginations from the user profile are affected by this as well.

Do you have any other URL formats customized? Try to revert them to default settings and see if that works, looks like it's conflicting with one of them.

Well .... I customized almost everything.

If I will use the second form of URL, should I expect any trouble down the road ? Can there be any performance issues because the USER ID is found in 2 places in the same URL ? I mean, should I be worried about performance with this setup ?

Maybe it's just me but I have the impression that pages with this rule:

Code:

 membri/[user_name]-[user_id]/mesaje-[userid]-[page]/

are slow to load...

You are right about the conflict: I reset the URLs to VBSEO's default then I modified only the URLs for:

Member Profile
Visitor Messaging Pagination

In order to debug this I need to enable / disable each previously defined URL, no ?

I will wait for your answer regarding the performance implications then I will decide about this.

Hello,

there will be no difference in performance with that URL format, although normally there should be only one user_id in URL.
