[bbDev] mod_rewrite

[Sean Hayford O'Leary]

Alright, I've finally got it working on my cPanel system. I think this
should work on most any Apache server with mod_rewrite.

Obviously to anyone who uses it, "/your-install-directory/" should be the
directory in which bbPress was installed. "/" if it's in the root.

# BEGIN bbPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /your-install-directory/
RewriteRule ^forum/(.+)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$ forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^forum/(.+)/?$ forum.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^profile/(.+)/(edit|favorites)/?$ profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2
[QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^profile/(.+)/?$ profile.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^rss/forum/(.+)/?$ rss.php?forum=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^rss/profile/(.+)/?$ rss.php?profile=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^rss/tags/(.+)/?$ rss.php?tag=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^rss/topic/(.+)/?$ rss.php?topic=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^rss/view/(.+)/?$ rss.php?view=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^rss/?$ rss.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^search/(.+)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$ search.php?q=$1&page=$2
[QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^search/(.+)/?$ search.php?q=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^tags/(.+)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$ tags.php?tag=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^tags/(.+)/?$ tags.php?tag=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^tags/?$ tags.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^topic/(.+)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$ topic.php?id=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^topic/(.+)/?$ topic.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^view/(.+)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$ view.php?view=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^view/(.+)/?$ view.php?view=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
# END bbPress
