vBulletin 4.x URL Redirection 1.0.0

[Mackeral_Fillet]

Hi there,

Can anyone help?

I cant get the redirects to work. I used vB4 with VBSEO. My old vB links are:

Old VB4/VBSEO

New

Hi,

I have a attached a Threads.php (mod_rewrite portion of the plugin) that supports paging.

Please provide the old and new URL. That way I can be sure about your redirects.

Please provide the old and new URL. That way I can be sure about your redirects.

The old vbseo url is: http://www.ipadteam.de/apple-sonderseite-ipad-4-2-update-958.html
The new xenForo url is: http://www.ipadteam.de/threads/apple-sonderseite-zum-ipad-4-2-update.624/

Thank you in advance!

Thank you in advance!

The ids are different, and we have to rewrite the urls. First upload these scripts to your web root:

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/redirection-scripts-for-vbulletin-3-x.264/

They may already be there from this resource which uses the same scripts.

Then add these rules to the top of the .htaccess file in your web root:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^[^/\.]+-([0-9]+)\.html$ /showthread.php?t=$1 [R=301,L]

That should do it.

Now i will be redirected to
http://www.ipadteam.de/showthread.php?t=958 without a redirect to the xenforo URL.

@Majora

Upload these scripts to your web root:

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/redirection-scripts-for-vbulletin-3-x.264/

@Majora

Upload these scripts to your web root:

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/redirection-scripts-for-vbulletin-3-x.264/

But i read:

All you need to do is unzip these files and place them in the directory within which the vBulletin files with the corresponding names would be located.

xenforo is in web root and vBulletin is in the subfolder "vbulletin". Should i upload the scripts to the vbulletin folder?

 

[Jake Bunce]

But i read:

xenforo is in web root and vBulletin is in the subfolder "vbulletin". Should i upload the scripts to the vbulletin folder?

Then why does this old URL not contain /vbulletin ?

http://www.ipadteam.de/apple-sonderseite-ipad-4-2-update-958.html

Those scripts *can* be located outside of vBulletin's directory. My instructions are correct for the specific thread redirect that you posted.

 

[Majora]

It works now! Thank you very much Jake!

Best regards
Matthias

Can't seem to get this to take either. :-(

Eventually I will swap out the xenforo folder names to be the same as the current /forum, however I want to see the redirects working in a test environment.

Not able to get threads redirected between ^/forum and ^/xf.

 

[StonePilot]

... nevermind, I got it to work.

Hi, my links are:

Old link: http://www.mysite.org/showthread.php?3746-VIP-Membership

New link: http://www.mysite.org/forums/index.php?threads/vip-membership.3746/

This is my first time doing redirects so I am really not sure what to do. I have downloaded the files and then uploaded the "standard-basic-advanced" files to /forums. Then what do I do?

Hi, I'm currently using DBTech SEO for my url's so my settings are for standard url's for dbtech seo to rewrite them, can you advise me on whether I should upload mod_rewrite or standard-basic-advanced please.

Probably neither. Yours are not vB4 standard URLs so I need an example old and new URL for the same thread so I can provide you rewrite rules.

Upload the "standard-basic-advanced" files to your web root. Then edit the 301config.php file to specify the path to your XF directory since it's in a different location.

Thanks Jake!

So I was using basic URLs on my vB forum. I've uploaded the needed files into my xen root, but it doesn't redirect me to the proper threads. I've checked my archive_log table and it seems full of data. What am I missing?

edit: I thought it was that I missed editing the 301.php script to include the table name. But I just did that and it didn't help.
