vBSEO 3.5 Release Candidate 1 is here!

It may have caused an issue. Try it again now that it has been corrected.

I tried but still does not work.
I enclose the pictures step by step:

Step 1

I copied forum/index.php file in the root

My index.php in root:

Code:

define('VB_RELATIVE_PATH', 'forum');

// Do not edit.
if (defined('VB_RELATIVE_PATH'))
{
    chdir('./' . VB_RELATIVE_PATH);
}
require('content.php');

Step 2a

ok done

Step 3

In vBoptions => forumhome Page options set the first entry to : index




And in vboptions -> CMS options the 'site tab URL' script is :



And in the vboptions -> CMS options panel should be left BLANK!.



Step 4

In vbseocp
URL Reweite Settings -> CMS => Advanced Settings tab set CMS Home

Step 5

In vbseocp, Seo Functions -> Homepage settings:

Step 6

This is the htaccess file in root:

Code:

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

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

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ forum/vbseo.php [L,QSA]

Done, but when I insert the link in your browser Hardwaregame.it - Giochi, Articoli, Recensioni, Video,Trucchi, Soluzioni, Download per PC, Playstation 3, Wii, XBOX 360, DS gives me this picture:

Any idea to understand where mistake?

May be there is a conflict with other url formats. Can you please open a ticket with ftp/vbseocp access to check this?

Ok thanks , i open a ticket

Great job as always. Excellent support.
Maybe it was a cookie problem, maybe I was not wrong

After a good dozen tries, I've managed to make this work on my test domain, with one small problem:

If someone goes to mydomain.com/content they are now redirected automatically to mydomain.com/
If someone goes to mydomain.com/content/ (with the trailing slash) it gives an error message that an invalid forum was specified.

The big problem here is that because I never managed to make this work, I have many links out there that have the trailing slash. I'd like it to redirect, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it without cutting the /content/ out of every single link (breaking all the links to my cms posts).

Any ideas?

Try making a custom redirect:

Code:

'^content/$' => '/'

Oooh that works! Thank you!

An update , we added basic rules for Nginx to Brian's post that will allow you to move CMS to domain.com while keeping forums on domain.com/forum
