[pabloaugusto]

Hello i have a vBulletin estructure like this:

http://site.com

site.com is the forum home path
(yes vBulletin was installed in root path of site)

My structure:

Site.com
-forum 1
-subforum 1
-subforum 2
-subforum 3
-forum 2
-subforum 1
-subforum 2
-subforum 3


one friend have vBSEO and we test to implement what i need:

http://site.com/forum1/subforum1/postname.html

But we didnt have sucess!

its it possible, a structure SEO like this?


http://site.com/forum1/subforum1/postname.html

No, this is not possible.

The thread ID is required in showthread URL's.


This is by design. There is a GOOD chance you will have more than 1 thread with the same name at some point. Thus, the ID is required to differentiate the posts of the same name.

[pabloaugusto]

postname was a example
the important is to show forum/subforum

like this

http://site.com/forum1/subforum1/137-postname.html
http://site.com/forum1/subforum1/postname-p137.html
http://site.com/forum1/subforum1/p137.html
http://site.com/forum1/subforum1/137.html


Etc

understood now?

Yes, it's possible to have URLs like :

/category1/forum5/sub-forum2/post-name-458.html

[pabloaugusto]

My friend have the site
vb-brasil.org

what we need to configure to put this to work?
we just search at vbseo admin panel.

You can provide the directions?

Thanks again.

Scroll to the URL Rewrite Settings section in your vbseoCP.

Click the '+' link beside the 'Advanced Settings'.

Now select the rewriting option for each setting which includes [forum_path] in it.

Basically you need to alter the rewrite rules of these sections :

• Forum URLs
• Thread URLs

Yes, it's possible to have URLs like :

/category1/forum5/sub-forum2/post-name-458.html

Unfortunately , you are wrong. Currently it is impossible to have domain.com/forumid1/subforumid2/ .

[pabloaugusto]

So, have any way to implement it in next versions?
its palnned?

As far as i know there are no plans to have that as the structure you request have lots of negative points.
1. It increases the number of character and keyword inside url
2. You will have 2 folders which will lower the importance of threads inside subforums

thanks,

so vBSEo dont will be good to me.
will look for another solution

thanks for all.

vBSEO will work definately good for you. However currently it is impossible to achieve the format you are looking for. But i again want to remind you that the format you are looking for is not good for your site.

Unfortunately , you are wrong. Currently it is impossible to have domain.com/forumid1/subforumid2/ .

But I guess i saw a forum having the URL structure like domain/programming/php/

Unfortunately vBSEO doesn't have a feature that will achieve that.

This format was defined by client, and he dont want to change it.

So in this case, it cant be the better SEO, buts is better to client, and clients voice its GOD voice!

So, i say, YES, this is the best format for the site =)

I need a product that can be portabe to many situations, if a client need a structure like that, and vBSEOo dont offer it, i say again.

vBSEo dont will be good in my case.
Undertood me?

a good product not is the most eficient, is that who makes whats the clients need

So if someday vBSEO figure implement this, ill sure buy it.

thanks for all again.
