User Albums - Pictures Not Displaying

When vbSEO is turned on the album pictures are not displayed. When vbSEO is turned off, then the pictures can be displayed just fine.

I initially thought this was an error that occured after upgrading to vbulletin 3.7.2. but at the same time I upgraded to vbSEO 3.2.0 RC8.

After disabling vbSEO through plugin manage products in admin cp, the images were viewable again.
I have attached images with both vbseo on and off.
The first picture is with vbseo 3.2.0 RC8 on (the red x'ed out picture) and the second picture is with vbSEo 3.2.0 RC8 off (the one with the working picture).

As you can see from the pictures, you can see that the URL's are different having vbSEO on or off, which is the nature or URL rewrite. I am using the free version of Isapi Rewrite 3 and I did not change anything in the httpd.conf file when upgrading to RC 8 from RC 7 as there was anything in the read me's about version 3 of Isapi Rewrite.
Can you please help me solve this problem.

I am also having this same problem. I run a Windows Server with the isapi rewrite & my pictures aren't displaying. 404 errors.

if you are using pics in the file system, you need to turn vbseo off for that folder.

an htaccess file of rewriteengine off in your upload folder will do it

I think we're both running the Isapi free so we can't use .htaccess files, just one server-wide config file. I keep my images in images/photos/ folder. Is there another way besides the htaccess file?

sure. you can add them to the exclude list in the defualt settings.

i don't know what the settings are off hand for ispai...
but in the htaccess (or config file) you want to do this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|useralbums/)

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images|user albums)/


whatsever those 2 lines are in the isapi.. put it there. my folder is obviously useralbums/

note, that space is vB's max chars break... useralbums is all one word

I think we're both running the Isapi free so we can't use .htaccess files, just one server-wide config file.

Are you running the latest version of ISAPI_Rewrite (v3.x)?

I am running Isapi_Rewrite 3.1.0.43
I upgraded to gold today. Upgrade went fine, and still same problems with pictures. ( http://www.easymarketingforum.com/me...s-natural.html )
Seeing briansol's code up there, I am confused as to what actually do. Here is my httpd.conf used by Isapi Rewrite 3 to do the rewriting:

Code:

[ISAPI_Rewrite]
# When hosting multiple sites on the same server, it is
# recommended to  limit the rewrite rules to the domain(s)
# where vBSEO is installed. Enable (remove '#' at the beginning
# to activate) the following rule and replace 'easymarketingforum.com'
# with your actual installation domain name.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .*easymarketingforum.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(avatars|attachments|iconimages).*
RewriteRule ^(.*\.(?:gif|swf.*|jpg|png|css|xml|js|htm|txt|zip))$ $1 [I,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .*easymarketingforum.com
RewriteRule ^/((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .*easymarketingforum.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/(admincp/|modcp/|clientscript/|cpstyles/|images/|search\.php).*
RewriteRule ^/(.+?)$ /vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

If you can edit nd post the edited code so I can copy and paste it into my file so I can get this working, I would much appreciate it.

given that code, i believe this should work:

Code:

[ISAPI_Rewrite]
# When hosting multiple sites on the same server, it is
# recommended to  limit the rewrite rules to the domain(s)
# where vBSEO is installed. Enable (remove '#' at the beginning
# to activate) the following rule and replace 'easymarketingforum.com'
# with your actual installation domain name.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .*easymarketingforum.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(avatars|attachments|iconimages|photos).*
RewriteRule ^(.*\.(?:gif|swf.*|jpg|png|css|xml|js|htm|txt|zip))$ $1 [I,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .*easymarketingforum.com
RewriteRule ^/((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .*easymarketingforum.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/(admincp/|modcp/|clientscript/|cpstyles/|images/|search\.php|photos/).*
RewriteRule ^/(.+?)$ /vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

It might not address properly though, due to being nested in images/photos/. i'm not sure if it should be marked that way, or with just photos/ as i used above

Tossed those into the config file, reset IIS, but looks like the image's URL is still be rewritten. My photo folder is currently under the images folder, should I try moving it under the /forums folder and trying again?

I believe that the server is running isapi_rewrite 2. Recommend an upgrade?

Edit: Didn't see those two posts, will read & try.

Hi briansol,
I copied, pasted, and restarted IIS and the server afterwards and still no luck :(

Other ideas?

no clue. IIS sucks. lol there's always moving them to the database instead of the filesystem

How would we go about doing that? Sorry

in the vB ACP, there's an option to move the album images from place to place.

/admincp/album.php?do=storage

According to that it says:
"Album pictures are currently being stored in the database"
and has option of:
ActionMove pictures into the file system without direct access to thumbnails
Move pictures into the file system with direct access to thumbnails

so we're at the db where we wanted to go, should we go to file system?
