vbadvanced links directory and vbseo 3.0? .htaccess question and custom rewrite rules

[GamingVidz.com]

vbadvanced links directory and vbseo? I'm trying to figure out how to make my .htaccess file for the links folder and the custom rewite rules.

What I currently have:

for the .htaccess file I placed in the "vidz" folder

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$  /forum/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&vbseorelpath=../vidz/&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !forum/
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ /forum/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&vbseorelpath=../vidz/&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

the custom rewrite rules I've used:

//vidz Rewrites
'vidz/index\.php$' => 'links/'
'browselinks\.php\?do=newlinks$' => 'newlinks.html'
'browselinks\.php\?do=poplinks$' => 'top.html'
'browselinks\.php\?do=poplinks&orderby=rating$' => 'toprating.html'
'browselinks\.php\?do=poplinks&orderby=posts$' => 'topposts.html'
'browselinks\.php\?c=(\d+).*$' => 'linkcat-$1.html'
'showlink\.php\?do=showdetails&l=(\d+)&goto=lastpost.*$' => 'file$1-lastpost/'
'showlink\.php\?l=(\d+).*$' => 'showlink-$1.html'
'showlink\.php\?do=showdetails&l=(\d+).*$' => 'link-$1.html'
'vidz/search\.php' => 'search.html'
'vidz/search\.php\?do=searchresults&string=(\w+)&catid= 0&quicksearch=1' => 'search-$1.html' 
'browselinks\.php\?do=browselinks&catid=(\d+)&ltr=(\w+)&linkuserid=(\d+)' => 'linkcat-$1-$2.html'
'browselinks\.php\?do=poplinks&orderby=views' => 'topviews.html'
'misc\.php\?do=linktous' => 'linktous.html'
'addlink\.php\?c=(\d*)' => 'addlink$1.html'
'misc\.php\?do=report&linkid=(\d+)&catid=(\d+)' => 'reportlink-$1-$2.html'
//'showlink\.php\?l=(\d+)&linkurl=.*' => 'gotolink-$1-$2.html' <-doesn't work for some reason. oh well

My links directory is in a folder titled "vidz" so if you were to use the same stuff, you should change the areas that are "vidz" to "whatever your folder name is"

I'm using vBseo 3.0.

The way my "vidz" have currently been rewritten look like this after I inputted the above changes:

/vidz/linkcat-2.html (for a category)

/vidz/link-1067.html (for a video link)

Any ideas on how to fix this? I'd much rather it go something like this:

/vidz/halo-2-montages.html (for a category)

/vidz/walshys-new-montage.html (for a video link) or something like that.

You know how it works in the vBulletin forum (for thread and post titles etc.). I'd like it to be the same for the "vidz" directory (links). (Perhaps this thread can be moved to the custom rewrite rules forum that I didn't notice before).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Something like that is going to require quite a few changes in order to work properly. The same SEO functions that are in vBa Blogicles right now though will be added to vBa Links with the next feature release.

Hey, glad to hear that. Making some urls work with the Custom Rewrite Rules on vBSEO is almost impossible and vbseo staff isnt helping at all.

Appart from this very personal requirement, vba links directory works like a charm. Thanks Brian.
