Question vBTubePRO stops working with SEO active

[jjohns12]

Hi,

Hope you can help me out with this. I have vBTubePRO running in my forum and all works great to i enable DB SEO and just the main page will be displayed on Vtube, all other links redirect me to my forum home page.

I think it is due to vBTubePRO ReWriteRule as follows

# vBTube
ReWriteRule ^media/home vbtube.php [QSA]
ReWriteRule ^media/rss vbtube.php?do=rss [QSA]
ReWriteRule ^media/category-(\d+)-(.*)$ vbtube.php?do=cat&id=$1&t=$2 [QSA]
ReWriteRule ^media/photo-categories vbtube.php?do=list&ctype=2 [QSA]
ReWriteRule ^media/adult-categories vbtube.php?do=list&ctype=4 [QSA]
ReWriteRule ^media/categories vbtube.php?do=list [QSA]
ReWriteRule ^media/best-videos vbtube.php?do=topvideos [QSA]
ReWriteRule ^media/best-photos vbtube.php?do=topphotos [QSA]
ReWriteRule ^media/most-viewed vbtube.php?do=most_viewed [QSA]
ReWriteRule ^media/most-voted vbtube.php?do=most_voted [QSA]
ReWriteRule ^media/upload vbtube_add.php?do=add&pt=0 [QSA]
ReWriteRule ^media/mymedia-u=(\d+)$ vbtube.php?do=mymedia&u=$1 [QSA]
ReWriteRule ^media/myfavorites-u=(\d+)$ vbtube.php?do=myfavs&u=$1 [QSA]
ReWriteRule ^media/youtube youtube_browser.php [QSA]
ReWriteRule ^media/acp vbtube_admin.php?do=appro2 [QSA]
ReWriteRule ^media/(\d+)-(.*)$ vbtube_show.php?tubeid=$1&sti=$2 [QSA]
ReWriteRule ^media/(\d+)$ vbtube_show.php?tubeid=$1 [QSA]

They did give instructions if I had VBSEO intalled as follows if this helps ( NEVER HAD INSTALLED! )

'^vbtube_show\.php\?do=tube&tubeid=(\d+)&name=(.+)&t=(\d+)&startid=(\d+)&id=(\d+)&pt=(\d+)' => 'videos/$1-$3-$4-$5/$2.html'

The Question How can i get SEO and Vtube to play nice together?

Thanks you

 

[Fillip H.]

Disable the vBTube htaccess rules and paste the "vBSEO Suggested" content into the "(Pro) Custom Rewrite Rules" field in DBSEO CP -> URL Rewrite Settings -> General URL Rewrite Settings

Now I get Page not found

Hi,

Now i get Page not found with the vBseo rules in Custom Rewrite Rules

Should i try to reinstall VBtube with this new rewrite?

Thanks

I did receive a php error
[02-May-2014 17:52:13 America/Denver] PHP Warning: preg_replace(): Compilation failed: missing terminating ] for character class at offset 38 ////// dbtech/dbseo/includes/library/custom.php on line 110

Try using these rewrites:

'^vbtube_show\.php\?do=tube&tubeid=(\d+)&name=(.+) &t=(\d+)&startid=(\d+)&id=(\d+)&pt=(\d+)' => 'videos/$1-$3-$4-$5/$2.html'

'^vbtube_show\.php\?do=tube&tubeid=(\d+)&name=(.+) &startid=(\d+)' => 'videos/$1-$4/$2.html'
'^vbtube_show\.php\?do=tube&tubeid=(\d+)&name=(.+) &t=(\d+)' => 'videos/$1/$2.html'
'^vbtube_show\.php\?do=tube&tubeid=(\d+)&name=(.+) ' => 'videos/$1/$2.html'
'^vbtube_show\.php\?tubeid=(\d+)&name=(.+)&t=(\d+) &startid=(\d+)&id=(\d+)&pt=(\d+)' => 'videos/$1-$3-$4-$5/$2.html'

'^vbtube\.php\?do=myfavs&u=(.*)&page=(.*)' => 'my_favorites/$2/$1/'
'^vbtube\.php\?do=mymedia&u=(.*)&page=(.*)' => 'my_media/$2/$1/'

'^vbtube\.php\?do=list&ctype=2' => 'photo-categories/'

'^vbtube\.php\?do=list' => 'video-categories/'
'^vbtube\.php\?do=rss' => 'media-rss/'

Hi, Thank you so much up and running again.

I did try that code but found i needed to disable a the option mod_rewrite & htaccess in vBtube settings.

Thanks again!

Just found one issue I receive when i click on a category
The page isn't redirecting properly error in my browser some thing must be wrong with that rewriterule.

Any idea's or should i just contact VBtube.

Thanks

 

[Fillip H.]

Can you please post the error message?

 

[jjohns12]

Hi
Sorry i did not get back to you sooner!
The error was just a browser message "page isn't redirecting properly" Most likely server 500 no other php error's in loges.

I did get a chance to play around with this issue and found if i comment out

'^youtube_browser\.php' => 'youtube-browser/'
'^vbtube\.php' => 'media/'

resolves the issue the youtube-browser and media will not wok with the query strings but work great without the rewrite rule.

Thank you

 

[Fillip H.]

Try this instead:

'^youtube\_browser\.php$' => 'youtube-browser/'
'^vbtube\.php$' => 'media/'

 

[jjohns12]

Hi,
That seems to have done it!
Thank you!!!!
