    Issue when posting external URLs contain index.php

    Hi friends,

    Let's say our website is abc.com and our vbulletin 4.0.2 forum url is abc.com/forum. We have vbseo 3.5 installed on our forum. Right now, we have the following problem:

    All the link to another product of our site have the following format:
    abc.com/newproduct/index.php/main/view/just-an-example-url.html

    When we post the above link to forum, it didn't lead to correct location, but always redirect to the root page:
    abc.com/newproduct/index.php

    We know that the problem comes from the index.php in that URLs. Is there a setting inside vbseo we can solve this problem? Or we can ignore url that comes from abc.com/newproduct ???

    Many thanks

    You can add the folder newproduct into vbseo's excluded folders list in the vbseo htaccess. Basically, where ever you see admincp, add newproduct in the same format


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

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

    for example
