SSI cannot grab full address only index.php

[diontoradan]

Hello,

i know this is a stupid question, but i tried to search for this question but i cannot find any.

the problem is i use SSI to grab content from my forum, but the forum link act bizarre when i install the code outside forum.
instead of getting domain.com/forum/index.php?xxx, it only display domain.com/index.php?xxx (without the /forum).

how can i get the $scripturl to work properly?

many thanks...

Make sure $scripturl is brought into scope.

global $scripturl;

I have the same problem. JBlaze, your fix doesn't work.

Might I see the code you're using?

<?php
global $scripturl;
require_once($home_dir.'forum/SSI.php');
$news = ssi_boardNews(2, 8, null, null, 'array');
foreach ($news as $item)
{
echo '
<div class="news_item">
<h3 class="news_header"><a href="'.$item['href'].'">'.$item['subject'].'</a></h3>
<div class="news_timestamp">Posted '.$item['time'].' by '.$item['poster']['link'].'</div>
<div class="news_body" style="padding: 2ex 0;">', $item['body'], '</div>
', $item['link'], $item['locked'] ? ' | Topic Locked' : ' | ' . $item['comment_link'], '
</div>';
}
?>

Give this a shot:

<?php
      require_once(__FILE__ . 'forum/SSI.php');
      global $scripturl;
      $news = ssi_boardNews(2, 8, null, null, 'array');
      foreach ($news as $item)
      {
         echo '
            <div class="news_item">
               <h3 class="news_header"><a href="'.$item['href'].'">'.$item['subject'].'</a></h3>
               <div class="news_timestamp">Posted '.$item['time'].' by '.$item['poster']['link'].'</div>
               <div class="news_body" style="padding: 2ex 0;">', $item['body'], '</div>
               ', $item['link'], $item['locked'] ? ' | Topic Locked' : ' | ' . $item['comment_link'], '
            </div>';
      }
   ?>

Well, if you're not getting the full link, something's actually wrong since it's derived from the $boardurl itself which means $boardurl is probably set wrong in your forum anyway...

What is the entry in Admin > Server Settings > Database and Paths > Forum URL ?

Copied your code exactly. Still no joy

Tried this already. Everything is set correctly.

Forum URL is set to "http://67.23.243.193/forum"

can this be moved to the coding board where the user(s) may get better support?

This isn't a coding question. It's a question of how to get the SSI functionality working correctly.

[Illori]

which is working with code... and not a feature in the core of smf.

[Ant59]

Actually, SSI is a core SMF feature. It's not an addition to the coding, or even a modification of it.

Anyway, this isn't helping me with an answer. If you can't help me, please don't post in this topic.

[Illori]

i was trying to get you further help by getting it moved, i know it is a core feature but the way you are using it requires code... hence moving it to the coding board, but whatever you want. less coding people would read this board and hence less support you would get on your issue.

[Arantor]

Technically, this can be argued either way I'd argue it should be in the Coding Discussion board and were I a moderator I'd move it there, but that's me. Anyway, that's off topic.


OK, do you have any portal mods installed? Anything of the pretty URLs type mods? (Anything that rewrites URLs, basically)

[Ant59]

Nope. No mods, and friendly urls are off.

[Arantor]

You mentioned above your board's URL as being that IP address based URL... that is what is in $boardurl in Settings.php, right? (It should be, but no harm in checking.) Oh, and you don't need to bring $scripturl into scope in that page, it's managed by SSI.php.

Any errors in the error log?

Out of interest, that page you mention, that is the entire page and not an include to something else?

Yeah it's set right in Settings.php

Oh, and you don't need to bring $scripturl into scope in that page, it's managed by SSI.php.

Yeah, I figured that, but tried it anyway.

Any errors in the error log?

No related errors.

Out of interest, that page you mention, that is the entire page and not an include to something else?

It is the whole page, but does pull parts through functions on an include.

[Arantor]

And you have no other mods at all?

* IncognitoMuse is really confused.

Since $scripturl is defined in QueryString.php as $boardurl . '/index.php', unless $boardurl is wrong, it should be just fine...

That said, there are circumstances where $scripturl gets rewritten, but that's to include PHPSESSID, rather than anything else... curiouser and curiouser. Random question: are subdomain independent cookies on or off?

[Ant59]

Tried subdomain independent cookies on and off. Off atm.
