Mod Rewriting vBulletin 2.x URL's
I have an install and want to do two things.

First and most importantly is to remove the session ID from the URL.

Secondly it to make the URL's a bit more friendly to search engines.

The problem is that the URL code is automatically generated by vBulletin. Is there a way to rewrite outgoing URL's, or do I need to do some editing in the code to change the URL the forum dynamically produces.

Please be sure to post in the correct forum in the future.


You will need to modify the links in the vBulletin templates yourself (eg, /176817/showthread.html). You then use mod_rewrite to transparently rewrite those URLs back to how the vBulletin scripts wants them (/showthread.php?t=176817). If you get to the point where you have a specific question about mod_rewrite and/or a rewrite rule, post in the Apache forum.

I didn't know this forum existed, guess I'll have to refamilarise myself with it.

Anyways, thanks for the answer, I should be able to get it working with that.

One question though, if you know. Will removing the session ID from the URL cause any problems with the board?

The session ID should only be visible when the user does not allow cookies. I know when I come here before I'm logged in, the session ID shows in the URL. But once I log in, it disappears. Are you having a different experience? It could be something in the board settings.

I've just been going into the templates and removing them manually. So far everything is working fine and there aren't any weird bugs.

P.S. Do you know which template controls this page
