Redirection when changing your forums-folder
Mod Version: 2.0.0, by Bernd Glasstett

Everyone knows the problem: If you want to change the structure of your site and especially change the forums-folder, you would loose all clicks from google or other search-engines. Setting up a 404-page could only redirect the users to the main-page. These small scripts have the same names as the main-pages of vbulletin. You can set them in your old forums-folder and they will redirect the users to the right postings or subforums. The scripts supports both links from vB 2.x and vB 3.x. I am pretty sorry, that I can only select one version of vB here But that's life

You don't need to edit any files of your vB-installation. Just place these files in your old forums-folder and please edit config.inc.php - There you can enter:

• Siteowner
• Newdirectory
• And if you would like to use a different domain - just in case
• New in version 2.0.0: Language support
• New in version 2.0.0: Choose the method for redirecting
• New in version 2.0.0: Statisticfunction
• New in version 2.0.0: Choose the path to the homepage-script
• New in version 2.0.0: X-HTML 1.0 Strict valid

It supports passing on links from:

• index.php
• forumdisplay.php
• member.php
• showthread.php

Supports these versions:

• vb 2.x
• vb 3.0.x
• vb 3.5.x
• vb 3.6.x

Supported languages (right now):

• Englisch
• German (Du)
• German (Sie)

The script takes its own domain, if you don't define it otherwise - and is pretty flexible.

If you find any bugs, pass them on. And if you have any questions, post them here

Version 2.0.0 can be considered a comple rewrite. All bugs from the earlier version 1.0.0 have been eliminated. A documentation in english and german has been added.

If you want to contribute more languages, please be free to do so, I will add them to the main project as soon as they appear
