Notes on vBSEO and Photopost Classifieds

How do I make vBSEO rewrite Photopost Classifieds URLs?

Assuming that your Photopost Classifieds software is located at the domain_root/classifieds/ directory and vBulletin is located in the domain root:

1. Create "vbseoembedd.php" file in Classifieds folder with this contents (and change $_vbseopath if needed): 

<?php

$_vbseopath = '../forum/';


function vbseoembedd_handler($outbuffer)
{
    if(!defined('VBSEO_OUTHANDLER') && function_exists('make_crawlable'))
   	 return make_crawlable($outbuffer);
}

ob_start("vbseoembedd_handler");
include $_vbseopath . 'vbseo.php';


?>

1. Create an .htaccess file in the Photopost Classifieds folder that contains the following information: 

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ vbseoembedd.php?vbseourl=$1&vbseorelpath=../classifieds/&vbseoaddon=ppclass [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(.+.php)$ vbseoembedd.php?vbseourl=$1&vbseorelpath=../classifieds/&vbseoaddon=ppclass [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^$ vbseoembedd.php?vbseourl=index.php&vbseorelpath=../classifieds/&bseoaddon=ppclass [L,QSA]

2. Create a file named functions_vbseo_ppclass.php with the content specified below and upload it to the vBulletin /includes/ folder: 

<?php

    if(!defined('VBSEO_PPCLASS'))
    {

    define('VBSEO_PPCLASS', true);

    function vbseo_preprocess_ppclass()
    {
    }

    function vbseo_postprocess_ppclass(&$output)
    {
        global $CatPerms, $link;

        $vbseo_cats = array(500 => 'my');

        foreach($CatPerms['catname'] as $catugid=>$catname)
            $vbseo_cats[$catugid] = vbseo_filter_text($catname);

        $output = preg_replace('#(showcat\.php\?)(cat=(\d+))#e', '"$1ctitle=".$vbseo_cats[$3]."&$2"', $output);

        preg_match_all('#showproduct\.php\?product=(\d+)#' , $output, $prodmatch, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
        $prodids = array_unique($prodmatch[1]);
        if($prodids)
        {
        $query = "SELECT p.id,p.title FROM ".$GLOBALS['pp_db_prefix']."products p
        WHERE p.id IN (".implode(',',$prodids).")";

        $queryv = @ppmysql_query($query,$link);

        $vbseo_prods = array();
        while ( $row = @mysql_fetch_array($queryv) )
            $vbseo_prods[$row['id']] = vbseo_filter_text($row['title']);

        $output = preg_replace('#(showproduct\.php\?)(product=(\d+))#e', '"$1ptitle=".$vbseo_prods[$3]."&$2"', $output);
        }

    }


    }
?>

3. Define the following Custom Rewrite Rules (CRRs) via your vBSEO Control Panel: 

'showcat\.php\?ctitle=(.+)&cat=(\d+)$' => 'cat-$1-$2.html'
'showproduct\.php\?ptitle=(.+)&product=(\d+)(&cat=\d+)?(&page=\d+)?$' => 'ad-$1-$2.html'
