Hi all, I have a question regarding PhotoPost for vBulletin that I'd appreciate any feedback on. I've tried for hours to get mod_rewrite working to get spider friendly URL's and I just can't get it working... I used what I thought to be the correct mod_rewrite code, that didn't work.. then I used an online mod_rewrite generator, that didn't work.. so: can anyone please tell me how I would rewrite these URLs? I realize that PhotoPost (photopost.com) has built-in spider friendly URLs but they aren't really "friendly". What I am looking for is a rewrite for: http://www.sitename.com/forums/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=1187&limit=recent http://www.sitename.com/forums/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=502 Preferably I'd even like to be able to replace that 502 in the URL above with the actual name of the category. Can that be done in .htaccess as well? Any help is appreciated! If you need more information I'd be happy to provide. Usually I just google these things and get the answers/help I need but this time I'm coming up short. Thanks in advance!
Anything is better than the way it is now, but something like this should work: http://www.sitename.com/forums/photopost/photo362.html http://www.sitename.com/forums/photopost/gallery502.html Ideally I'd like to be able to convert that 362 and 502 into the actual names of the galleries and photos but that's a question for the PhotoPost people because I can't get their variables to pass on anywhere... so for now something like above would be most helpful. Thanks!
I think I PM'd you about this but I'm not sure so I'll reply here as well. It was a real mess, had to re-code a TON of stuff to make it work. In retrospect, the man hours it took to do it probably aren't worth the end result...but time will tell once Google picks up the new pages, we'll see what happens.
