Custom Redirect Rules - Help

Hello,

Okey, i think what i'm trying to do is somehow possible...

first my settings for the forum rewrite is: [forum_id]_[forum_title]
and what i'm trying to do is

whenever is user try to access /35_name-of-title he is redirected to a specific url which is /General.

i want this for a specifi url not all forums, the problem the url contain non-latin words how can i make the rule?

let me be more clear:
if the user goes to this link, he is supposed to be redirected to this link.

is that possible? and how?


Thanx
Saif

Hello,

Try using the slugs feature.

vBSEO Slugs - Custom Forum Titles
Note: this article reflects vbseo version 3.3.x.

In vbseo 3.5, the slugs are now available within the standard vbseo control panel.
General Settings> vBSEO Options > Advanced tab
=> Define vBSEO Forum Slugs

So, you would want to use
191=>"General"

hey,

i tried 191=>"General" but when i save it, it doesnt save anything?!!

Sorry, try single quotes

191=>'General'

i think there is a problem

oh yeah i get it, it changed the link to :
http://www.gulf-heart.com/vb/191_General/

but i want it to be:
http://www.gulf-heart.com/vb/General/

Back off the change for now.

I have flagged this for a developer to assist you.

thank you....

i found a work around for this,

i added the slug like before:
191=>'General'

then added a custom redirect:
'191_General/' => 'General/'

and walla, it was fixed, though i'm still waiting for the developers solution.

Hello,

you should set Forum URL format to "[forum_title]" in this case.

no other way? its been a year using this format i cant suddenly change it,,,,

what about my work around? will it cause any problems?
