XF 1.2 vbseo redirects

[Walter]

After solving many problems during an import I'm now stuck at the vbseo redirects. Maybe @Jake Bunce can recsue me

vb 4.2 with vbseo.
Apache.
IDs are the same in Xenforo as they were in vb but the forum moved to a subdirectory /forum

Threads old url:

http://www.mydomain.com/subforumname/52487-threadname.html

Threads new url:

http://www.mydomain.com/forum/threads/threadname.52487/

Forum old url:

http://www.mydomain.com/subforumname/

Forum new url:

http://www.mydomain.com/forum/forums/subforumname.290/

Reg. the forums: I obviously havent the old ID but I have a list of the old forum names...

Thanks a lot! I cant see the wood for the trees.

Add to top of .htaccess file in the web root:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^[^/]+/([0-9]+)-[^\.]+\.html$ /forum/threads/$1/ [R=301,L]

That will take care of threads.

For the forums without ids you need to add a rule for each individual forum. Example (adding to previous code):

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^[^/]+/([0-9]+)-[^\.]+\.html$ /forum/threads/$1/ [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^subforumname/$ /forum/forums/subforumname.290/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^anothersubforum/$ /forum/forums/anothersubforum.150/ [R=301,L]

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^[^/]+/([0-9]+)-[^\.]+\.html$ /forum/threads/$1/ [R=301,L]

I had something similar but for a strange reason it doesn't work. And no errors in the logs.
Do you have any clue what it could be?

What code doesn't work exactly? Mine?
