.htaccess

[macuser9214]

.htaccess (for apache) can do some amazing things.

For those users of Apache, what cool stuff do you do with .htaccess?

I can just do the basic rewriting www.site.com/index.php?name=hello to www.site.com/hello/ Thats about it for me. Although i've never tried to do anything else.

I really need help with .htaccess on vBulletin so the usernames follow the main domain No one can seem to help me though any takers here?

[macuser9214]

what do you mean, like www. site .com/username.htm ?

[Robert]

I don't think that is possible.

Also, why would you want to do that?

I may be wrong but doesn't vb have a built in mod-rewrite thing like wordpress.

[Robert]

Not that I know of.

I have a lot of URL rewrites on this forum, most have been done by vbseo plugin.

So its a plugin/mod then. Sure you'll be able to find something that does what you want Dan.

I was thinking more like www.site.com/forum/username/

It was possible with 3.5.x but i couldn't get it working on 3.6.x

I was aiming to get a social networking site going and it makes profiles more accesible
