XenForo Redirects for vBulletin 1.1.9

Some of the changes in XF301VB 1.1.9 include:

• Properly set the visitor and language in the XF301VB app

Some of the changes in XF301VB 1.1.8 include:

• Update regex to handle thread URLs that would change the thread view between hybrid and threaded modes

Some of the changes in XF301VB 1.1.7 include:

• Fix regex match to allow VB URLs that may contain a non-empty s param in showthread.php links

Some of the changes in XF301VB 1.1.6 include:

• Fix regex match to allow VB URLs that may contain an empty s param in showthread.php links.

Some of the changes in XF301VB 1.1.5 include:

• Fix slightly over-eager VB4 rewrite match.

Some of the changes in XF301VB 1.1.4 include:

• Add missing breaks in switch statements.
• Fix for feed redirects.
• Support redirecting from newthread.php.
• Change VB4 rewrite match to support some additional characters.

This release fixes several bugs that have been reported:

• Improve false positive detection of several URL patterns that may match legitimate XenForo URLs (particularly if route filters are used).
• Ensure that all redirects go to the canonical URL. This resolves problems when redirecting from a non-standard source location.

• Implement a number of additional URLs to redirect. See here, here and here.
• Fix a number of issues related to defining redirects which do not use the VB do param.
• Improve compatibility when used with PHP versions before 5.6.
• Prevent disclosing the title of content via its URL when the sole request was for an integer ID if the visiting user doesn't have permission to view it.
• Check the appropriate permission method when dealing with a user entity.
• Fix issue where the Router class was not extended properly.
• Fix redirecting category URLs properly.

Thanks to @Steffen who reported and provided patches for a significant number of these changes

This version includes the functionality extensions from 1.1.0 and adds a fix for the error that can occur when copying posts from one thread to another existing thread.

Following suggestions from @Steffen, the redirect add-on will now support a collection of non-content links that may be commonly referrered to in user generated content.

I'd consider some of them essential because they are likely referenced in old threads and emails (lostpw, terms, requestemail), others would be nice to have.

Code:

/login.php -> /login/
/login.php?do=lostpw -> /lost-password/
/memberlist.php -> /members/
/misc.php -> /help/
/misc.php?do=bbcode -> /help/bb-codes/
/misc.php?do=showrules -> /help/terms/
/private.php -> /conversations/
/profile.php?do=buddylist -> /account/following
/profile.php?do=editavatar -> /account/account-details
/profile.php?do=editoptions -> /account/preferences
/profile.php?do=editpassword -> /account/security
/profile.php?do=editprofile -> /account/account-details
/profile.php?do=editsignature -> /account/signature
/profile.php?do=ignorelist -> /account/ignored
/profile.php?do=privacy -> /account/privacy
/register.php -> /register/
/register.php?do=requestemail -> /account-confirmation/resend
/subscription.php -> /watched/threads
/usercp.php -> /whats-new/
