it seems something related to the .htaccess

[locau]

btw how can i change a given url name by pretty urls to something else ?

from www.domain.com/xtest to www.domain.com/test ?

The ideia is to create next a link to the user profile like www.domain.com/test/<username>

[apadong.net]

it seems something related to the .htaccess

here's inside my .htaccess:

[asmith]

Hi,

Dannii I installed this mod on another site. Which had nneonneo's shoutbox ruuning fine. Now when I open up a page, shoutbox loads fine, but 3, 4 seconds after the page is loaded, it gives me :

Fatal error: ob_start() [<a href='ref.outcontrol'>ref.outcontrol</a>]: Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers in /home/site/public_html/forum/Sources/Subs.php on line 2656

I searched this topic and I found one guy asking about this, and you refer him to do some changes in the  change.xml file, which I can't find it.

Any idea?

[freworld]

Hi danni
i tried asking at dev.eldacar link but seem it not working!So posting here!

Petty url is doing fine overall till now
But there is a PROBLEM
A specific Topic link  in my board is not working .  It just redirects to my hosts  page with ads.
i remember i changed the Topic heading while trying to change its url. May be that caused it to go off.

I tried that help by you regarding truncate query for flushing url table .
& the ran maintanence. Now that topic url is changed to topic name but thread not appearing.

Seems like tht topic link has broken something in database.
Kindly guide how can i fix a thread link as its a good thread with some helping info for members.
Even if you think, its no due to pretty url's, help will be really helpful!

Regards

[ysf1903]

I have installed pretty url 0.9. I am using SMF 1.1.7.  Everything is ok but When i changed category name or topic name, url isnt changing.  Its old url.  What can i do ?

Not sure but doing maintaince in the pretty url could solve the problem. 

[bigboss2]

I am having problem with my rss feeds. My site url is http://www.cricket-highlights.com/index.php [nofollow] Can anyone tell me why links in feeds are not working correctly.

Can anyone help me. I have lot of feedburner subscriber and all getting wrong urls....

[thegiftedhands]

[locau]

Yes I did it but , Problem still continue

[Dannii]

Thank you!  I've removed the line and managed to create a "tar.gz" file to then reinstall.  It's still not recognising links with a "!" at the end though (of which there are a lot on my forum!)...  I think there were some tables or something that needed to be removed too?  If it's not too much trouble would you mind letting me know what the next step is please?  I'm not a whizz at coding but I try!  Cheers 

Ahh, if you want to get rid of them for old topics too... well with phpMyAdmin empty both of the smf_pretty_urls_cache and smf_pretty_topic_urls tables.

Hey, I have enjoyed using this mod - definitely cleans things up a lot for the members.  Until recently I had been running it - I am now having a pretty big issue.

So I have been trying to do some canonical changes in my urls from non-www to www only so I disabled and uninstalled the mod.  I later turned it back on after changing everything back in my .htaccess file and it works fine for the most part... HOWEVER,  now when a member is logged in at the Index level, everythings great - when they go to a board or topic, it immediately shows that a member is no longer logged in.  If I hit the home/forum button it goes back to the index and shows as being logged in again!

I have disabled it for now and everything is ok with the members staying logged in, so I'm assuming it is something with what I did with pretty url earlier.  Any ideas?

Check your cookie settings, so that they'll work with all subdomains.

You know, I just noticed that it states that it uses the user name not the display name... is this perhaps the problem, since the account that I am using has a different username than the display name?

That shouldn't matter.

The url is with www and as well without www. But most used is www.

EDIT: Won't let me even go to /blog where the wordpress is, and others.

Make this change to PrettyUrls-Filters.php:

Code (find) Select Expand

            if (in_array($matches[2], $context['pretty']['action_array']))

Code (replace) Select Expand

            if (in_array($matches[2], $context['pretty']['action_array']) && $matches[2] != 'chat' && $matches[2] != 'blog')

Dannii: For a future version, are you planning on making it easier for admins to change the URL of a topic?

I often rename topics and would love to be able to change the URL along with that but at the moment it involves going into the database.

Yes I do, though honestly I don't know how long it will take. I'm very busy with uni and personal life issues.

I'm trying to install Pretty URLs 0.9 on SMF 1.1.7 and I get this error in the package manager.  I've tried all the standard fixes like manually creating the temp directory and setting the permissions to 777.  Any ideas on how to get it installed?...

Installing this package will perform the following actions:
   Type    Action    Description
1.    Execute Modification    SMF1-1/Sources.xml    Modification parse error
2.    Execute Modification    -    Modification parse error

17.    Execute Code    SMF1-1/install.php



UPDATE:  Examining the issue further, it appears that $sourcedir in the installation files is not resolving to the correct directory.  Here's a sample message from the error log...

2: file_exists() [<a href='function.file-exists'>function.file-exists</a>]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/PrettyUrls.english.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/tankadin.com/httpdocs:/tmp)
File: /var/www/vhosts/tankadin.com/httpdocs/forum/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Line: 327

Try extracting all of the files from the package into the temp folder yourself. If that doesn't work, please ask for help in the support forums, I don't have time to deal with package manager issues as well as mod issues sorry!

Just curious,  is it possible to get phone suppot from sone one to walk me through the process of how to get my forum operating again?

I installed the Pretty URLs modification and my forum just shows an error message now.

Thanks, Jordy

No, though it looks like a simple problem. I would guess that the mod was installed twice.

hello there,

after the upgrade i have an error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in www/forum/Sources/QueryString.php on line 217

i've uninstalled the old version and installed after the new version (0.9), the install process gaive me an error on "querystring.php" so i think all changes on that file weren't made so i did them manualy according to the parse code.

The new code changes a bit here so i don't know if it will make any difference :

old -> $_REQUEST['board'] = str_replace(array(''', '\'), array("", ''), $_REQUEST['board']);
new -> $_REQUEST['board'] = str_replace(array(''', '\'), array("", ''), $_REQUEST['board']);

How can i fix this pls ?

Are you able to try reinstalling the mod again, but first using a fresh QueryString.php from the smf install package?

Have you set it up to allow mod_rewrite and .htaccess? Did you check the server log like it suggested?

btw how can i change a given url name by pretty urls to something else ?

The ideia is to create next a link to the user profile like www.domain.com/test/<username>

It's a problem with phpstats, not this mod. 's are fine in URLs.

I have installed pretty url 0.9. I am using SMF 1.1.7.  Everything is ok but When i changed category name or topic name, url isnt changing.  Its old url.  What can i do ?

That's by design because Cool URLs don't change

I am having problem with my rss feeds. My site url is http://www.cricket-highlights.com/index.php Can anyone tell me why links in feeds are not working correctly.

Can anyone help me. I have lot of feedburner subscriber and all getting wrong urls....

Your forum's feeds look fine to me. If your feedburner subscribers are having problems... well did you update the URL in feedburner?

after installing the pretty url my site gets a 404 not found error.

the site opens first to the homepage but if you try clicking on any topic it brings the error.

what can i do please

http://code.google.com/p/prettyurls/wiki/TroubleShooting
Follow the first section to disable the mod. Then double check that your server supports everything required.

The main ideia is since this is a SEF mod is there any way i can edit or change a given url name
    from www.domain.com/xtest to www.domain.com/test ?
if you notice i remove the "x" from "xtest", some sort of edit option on the listed urls
