vBSEO 3.3.0 Gold Released

Hello. I saw the updated htaccess file info, but noticed another change that was not mentioned and wanted to make sure I don't screw up.

Here is what I have in my htaccess file now

Code:

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|chat|cron|rvoweather/)
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(jpg|gif)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images|rvoweather)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

Here is what my change will look like:

Code:

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|chat|vbseo_sitemap/|cron|rvoweather/)
 RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(jpg|gif)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images|rvoweather)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

My Question is: Do I need to update that last line (in red) to this:

Code:

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

or leave it as is? Thanks for your help.

Also: I noticed that the code I am supposed to change has another big difference:

My code:

Code:

RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

The updated code:

Code:

 RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

Do I need to keep this with the 'archive' stuff in it? Not really sure what that line should be. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks folks.

Cheers,
Bruce

Your .htaccess file is pretty outdated. The best is to use the latest .htaccess that comes with 3.3.0 package.

So, the answer is to make all the changes above since I copied and pasted from the latest .htaccess file then. Okay. Thank you, Mert!

I just did not understand what the 'archive' part of that was for since I do not have an archive because it was recommended here at VBSEO to disable it several months ago.

Bruce

Just wanted to update: I really had a bunch of extra stuff in my outer htaccess from way back when I first installed VBSEO. I got rid of most of it and updated my forum htaccess with the latest as Mert suggested. It works great. Thanks.

Bruce

Glad to hear that Bruce

Ie to support the url? For instructions.

Thank you For advice.

Hello Chan ,

Installation instructions are located within docs folder inside the package you download.You can additionally find them online at vBSEO 3.3.0 Readme File

UPDATE: Facebook icon for social networking feature updated.
Where do I find this?

Thanks

Could somebody please explain this:

UPDATE: Update to ISAPI Rewrite instructions:


Code:
RewriteCond URL ^/(?!attachments|iconimages|members).*


Should I add this to the htacces file?
Also, I upgraded from 3.1 to 3.3, did I missed any updated to the htaccess file in 3.2?

Hello George ,

You should check your .htaccess content and if it is not updated you should update to the one that comes with vBSEO 3.3.0 package.

For facebook you can add the following code

Code:

http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=%url%,images/vbseo/facebook.gif,Share on Facebook!,Share on Facebook!

1)where do I add the facebook info

2)this is not in the htaccess provided with 3.3.0:

Code:

RewriteCond URL ^/(?!attachments|iconimages|members).*

1)where do I add the facebook info

Go to: vBSEO CP » Other Enhancements » Social Bookmarking

Put a tick beside "Add Custom" and enter the given code in the textbox that appears.

thanks!!


Any ideas on what to do with this?:

Code:

RewriteCond URL ^/(?!attachments|iconimages|members).*

If you don't have that within your .htaccess , you should add it.

Exactly where?
And why the htacces file that came with the vbseo 3.3.0 did not have that rule on it?

Thanks
