Keyword-rich URL module bug on Start New Topic and Reply links

Hey guys,

I installed this mod.. very cool.. in my staging environment now.

I have one issue:

Reply and Start New Topic links from the top nav break..

I can see this issue on minibb.com too (I am using mod_rewrite_2 aswell)

The difference is, the minibb ones have some code that does a 301 redirect? Is this code available? Am I missing something here?

Thanks,
Nathan

Fixed the New Topic link with:

RewriteRule ([0-9A-Za-z-\+._]+)_([0-9A-Za-z-\+._]+)\.html$ ./index.php?action=vtopic&forum=$1&page=1&mdrw=on

Fixed it, heres the updated rules for reference.. the 3rd rule is the fix.. the 301 comes from the code.. thanks for minibb, I will upgrade to premium soon

Apache 1.3 seems to work fine with these:

RewriteEngine On

If your interested in an alternate to rewriting, I've implemented systems using a single rule that goes to a PHP module to perform the rewrites and variable extractions in other software.. this gives compatibility with other webservers easily.. contact me if you want an example, this would be a slight design change to minibb url stuff

We have really a custom set up from the older format URLs to the new, but this is not the solution actually :-) There is a bug under bb_functions.php - loadHeader function, the script simply doesn't take add-on's rules into consideration. You should wait for the new miniBB version where it will be fixed... providing just redirection rules is not a solution for this.

The rules are quite simple btw, they are available in miniBB manual - you just need to set up "quick-URLs" mode coming before add-on's rules in your .htaccess.

I personally think this "rewriting" fashion is invented by somebody which will be never known, and it actually doesn't work for anything good. It's just a fake. Search engines index content much more efficiently when these rules are not set. Additionally, having numbers-only in URLs (i.e. having "quick-URLs" mode for miniBB) means having really friendly and universal URLs. They absolutely work on my private forums.

So with your solution... I don't know what it is about, but whomever it may interest, is only our Community, so you may post everything here... it's not the question we're specially interested in.

The problem should be fixed in the new miniBB release 2.4.1.
