Question Rewriting from wrong URL

[docjohn]

In vbulletin, DBSEO appears to be rewriting URLs for things like icons taking the "Homepage URL" as the root base. This is incorrect, as it should be using the Forum URL instead. Our forums reside on a subdomain, and so our homepage URL points to our actual homepage (not on the subdomain).

Is there a place I can tell DBSEO to use the "Forum URL" setting instead of the Homepage URL setting in vbulletin options? Thank you.

That would be a problem with your skin using relative paths to icons rather than absolute ones.

For instance, if you have an image like so: <img src="/path/to/image.png" /> then DBSEO will use the Homepage URL as the base, which is correct.

If, on the other hand, you have an image like so: <img src="path/to/image.png" /> then DBSEO will use the Forum URL as the base.

You should correct this in your templates / CSS. To save performance, you should also prefix the image path with the $vboptions[bburl] variable so that the path to your forum is used without DBSEO's interference.
