XF 1.1 xenforo with ipb and vBulletin redirects

So I've come over a new setup

XenForo fully established, importing both IPB and vBulletin

Needs to keep current and future xenforo links, but also preserve past IPB and vBulletin links.

How would one apply that?
 
You can use these scripts for vB:

You just need to edit the two 301config.php files for both sets of redirects to point to the different import log tables (assuming you saved both of them).
I personally didn't do this import. Someone else did and no, they dumped the import logs :rolleyes: :eek:

So I'm trying to find a generic way to do the redirect via htaccess. I'm sure it will not be 100%, but better than nothing.
 
PHP:
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|\?)([0-9]+)-([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+)
    RewriteRule showthread\.php /forum/showthread.php?t=%2 [R=301,L]

May simply be the best option for the vBulletin side of things.
