Hi, Can VBSEO Recdirect Zoints SEO URLS??

Can we have vbseo to redirect all zoints urls?
Urls are in the following format:
forums.domain.com/forum-name-fid.html
forums.domain.com/forum-title-tid.html
Thanks.

Hello Imran ,

Yes you can redirect existing zoints urls with vBSEO.

Thanks, I have two licenses and want to buy another one but currently I have zoints Installed.

After your purchase you can create a support ticket and request assistance on redirecting zoints urls to new urls.

Ok one Last thing, I have zoints, tags installed which works fine, will vbseo handle this, tags are really important. If yes I will add another license to my already existing one's.

Hi Imran,

vBSEO is compatible with Zoints Tags - I have both running at New Zealand Boards

Thanks I ordered my third license.
Any help on redirecting zoints url to new vbseo urls? and tags

Not from me, I'm afraid I am still at the reading stage of .htaccess, I can't write rules without killing my server over and over.

Luckily, we have some far more skilled people here.

I believe you will need to post your current .htaccess and an example of a forumdisplay and showthread url as they are now, and as you would like them to be with vBSEO.

Post them here and someone will have a suggestion.

Thanks, here is my .htaccess

Code:

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]*-(f|all)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$ forumdisplay.php/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]*-(t|p)[0-9]+(p[0-9]+|/index[0-9]*)?\.html)$ showthread.php/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(index\.php|\.css) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(archive|sitemap)/(.*)$ $1/index.php/$2 [QSA,L]

And the forumdisplay = /forum-title-f9.html
threaddisplay = /thread-title-t3855.html

Please try to add the following in your new vBSEO's .htaccess right after "RewriteEngine on" line:

Code:

RewriteRule ^[^/]*-f([0-9]+)(?:p([0-9]+))\.html$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=forumdisplay.php&f=$1&page=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^[^/]*-t([0-9]+)(?:p([0-9]+))\.html$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=showthread.php&t=$1&page=$2 [L]

Hope this works as I have just purchased vbseo and I have got zoints installed at the moment , as this thread is relevant can I ask will I need to uninstall zoints first ?

Hello Dave ,

Yes it is advised to uninstall zoints first.

Thankyou , wow that was easy

Uninstalled zoints seo installed vbseo , used the above htaccess for my zoints links , seems to be working great

Nice work everyone at vbseo

Damn spoke too soon , one of my old urls is like this from zoints :

/forum/showthread.php/wicked_musical_request-32625.html?p=210397

Now that link just gives me "Page not found"

Please help , I have tried the above htaccess

This is where the page is located now :

/forum/free-mp3-ringtones/32625-wicked-musical-request.html

This is my current .htaccess
