[DBTech] DragonByte SEO URLs to XenForo 2 1.2.0

[MentaL]

A third install , fresh db - imported vb content - tried to import seo urls - 0 found. I am unable to enable retain content id. So, i figure I will try it with an empty board. I do the same minus converting the initial content, force the import from the SQL/SEO information and still, it says there is content on an empty database and unable to check retain content id.

suggestions are welcomed.

Hi all, I have the same problem ([E_WARNING] Undefined array key "dbtech_dbseo_rewrite_rule_attachment_attachment" ) but I don't understand what the solution is. I've already imported the vbulletin forum to xenforo and put the site live. I can't redo the import again. Thank you.

two ways to resolve i posted regarding this. Also, was the URLformats.php file generated?

Should this just be left installed for ever? Or is there a period of time where it should be considered old URLs are likely not that popular anymore and it can just be removed?

You should probably keep a look at your site activity logs and see just how often the old urls are being requested. Though any direct links to old urls would break on uninstall.

I recommend leaving it. Even if Google stopped fetching the old *URLs, you still need to redirect links from outside sites which may never change.

*I've seen Google refetch old URLs over a decade later!

Especially if older sites are linking to them.

It's also worth mentioning that this plugin does nothing unless your users are hitting a 404, in which case it attempts to match a DBSEO formatted URL before throwing back either a redirect or a 404.

In other words, there's no real reason not to have this installed. If a future XF update breaks this, I'll also update it because I personally use it.

I was getting the same error as others here:

ErrorException: [E_WARNING] Undefined array key "dbtech_dbseo_rewrite_rule_attachment_attachment" in src/addons/DBTech/Redirect/Util/Url.php at line 868

Downgrading to PHP 7.2, running the importer, then going back to PHP 8 fixed the issue.

Pretty cool to have my old URLs working in Xenforo!
