vBSEO 2.3.0 Released

We're working on the lastpost issue, trying to reproduce it and fix asap.

Trancetopia,

if your forums reside in the root, you DON'T need to change it. It is only required to rewrite root URLs when forums are located in subfolder:

(7) UPDATE: CRRs in Root (beta2) update - Several refinements have been made to the 'CRR in Root' beta feature.

Thanks Oleg, looking forward to upgrading. Good luck with the fix.

Hmmm, i guess i was lucky to not install straight away.
Perhaps the download should be taken down since there are issues with its core fucntionality.

Thanks for the suggestion. 2.3.0 has been taken offline temporarily.

Any idea when it'll be back up?

well, 2.3.1 is now in the download area, can I assume this fixes the issues discussed in this thread? I run my forum as a subcategory

Two bugs have been fixed as described at the bottom of the 2.3.0 release announcement. One of them was a major issue (2.3.0 - Last Post / First New Post) which forced us to take 2.3.0 off the download area.

Thank-you all for your help in determining the source of the issue . Enjoy!

Yep, I guess we were posting concurrently

Woo! This one works, very nice

And it appears to fix the SSL bug that I had too.

Thanks

Custom Rewrites in root are still not working :( Bug report created

Hi,

As for the updated htaccess code, do I copy it and replace the one in httpd.conf?

The mod_rewrite directives in httpd.conf are similar to .htacces ones, but NOT exactly the same (they should be slightly modified accordingly to your server configuration).

However, the .htaccess contents was not changed in the recent version, so you may just leave it as is (the directives included in the announcement are related to a new beta feature "CRRs in the root" only and do not affect the main .htaccess file)

my forum in root --> should I not upgrade? What is the differences of having the forum in the root or in a sub directory anyhow?

If your forums are in the root, you'll be fine.

sitka,

it is only related to the sites where forums reside in subfolder AND user wants to use our new beta feature "root-level CRRs" (i.e. rewrite non-vB URLs).

Standard functions are working fine!
