I have my forum installed in the forum/ directory, I was wondering if vBSEO had the ability to rewrite threads in my articles forum to have articles/ instead of forum/?
I would like to know this too, among other things. Although I don't care if it is a default feature... will I be able to custom code it?
Since there is no "lite" version or trial period and you give registered members no access to the Rewrite forums here I have no way of telling if the custom rewrites I am interested in are doable. I was also interested in these custom vBadvanced (& vBa Links) rewrites I see mentioned, but alas I can view none of them to see how successful the rewrites actually are.
Anyway, I was hoping I could do something similar depending on what forum/sub-forum the rewrite rules had to deal with, and if vBSEO would be able to handle rewriting all the internal links so that forms, pagination, and the like aren't broken by still linking to /forums/. Although, my situation is a little more complex such that I would want forumid's 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 being associated with /news/, /media/, /reviews/, /interviews/, /articles/, respectively, rather than the default of /forums/.
I do NOT believe this is in any way against vB's TOS as I would not be making each URL appear as a separate entity from the main forum. They would all still be accessible from FORUMHOME, the Breadcrumb would remain intact and they would all keep the same Style. If there is something I'm missing that would make this "questionable" in terms of the TOS please let me know.
I will post my other questions in my own thread when I have time.
Thank you
Bryce, I'm not sure, but i don't think it's possible 'out of the box'. If you were installed in root, you could fake a /forums and /articles directory, but I'm not sure that you can do it the other way. Someone else will have to give you a better answer.
Jon, there is a demo available: https://www.vbseo.com/demo/ realize it's limiting to what you are probably trying to test.
What you are wanting to do is not against their TOS to the best of my knowledge. It's still 1 install on 1 domain.
There are some functions available to use as well.
