Using the word PRINT in the title

I had a user make a new post on my forum titlted "Continuous Print" and when you followed the corresponding link to view the post you got the PRINT format of the thread instead. You couldn't reply, etc.

vBulletin 3.8.1 and vbSEO 3.3 RC1

FYI

Here is the URL that was used in the e-mail, etc.

PHP Code:

http://www.nc-software.com/forums/logbook-pro-support/5880-continuous-print.html 


yes, this is a known issue.

the easiest fix is to move the print page rule to the front, ie, print-xxxxxxxx-xxxxx.html

How/where do I do that?

expand the settings under the preset drop down with the + sign and find the "print thread rules"

Thank you for the reply but I'm not sure where I am supposed to be looking. Am I in the vbSEO control panel? vBulletin? Where exactly do I find this?

vbseo control panel.

click the plus sign in screen 2.

use a custom setting in screen 1, inserting print in the beginning.
ie, instead of
[forum_path]/[thread_id]-[thread_title]-print.html
use custom
and enter
[forum_path]/print-[thread_id]-[thread_title].html

orwhatever matches your current setting the best.

Thank you! Finally found it with your help and made the changes.

will this bug be fixed in the gold version?

It's not a bug.

You really should disable rewrites for the Printer Friendly version of pages, and block those via robots.txt anyway, IMO.

another idea is to use a rewrite similar to the following:

/thread-123/
/thread-123/pageX/
/thread-123/print/

there is never any confusion this way.

Still an issue in the latest vBulletin 4.x and vBSEO. Reapplied this fix.

This will be in every version ever released, so long as there is a printhread script rewritten to 'print'.

I suggest Not re-writing printthread and robots.txt out printthread.php.
