SSI cannot grab full address only index.php

[Arantor]

It'll need to be on anyway for login status to be preserved between forum and outside it in your site.

And you have absolutely no other mods of any kind installed?

[Ant59]

Absolutely no mods. And I haven't touched any of the code yet. I just installed the forum. Ok, I'll turn it on.

[Ant59]

The weird thing is though, that the SSI functions work. It loads ssi_boardNews() and prints to array, but the hyper-links, and images have the wrong url still.

[Arantor]

Question of the day: when you say the links are being generated as domain.com/index.php?xxxx instead of domain.com/forum/index.php?xxxx, where are you checking this? Are you actually viewing the HTML source that's generated or going purely by the link the browser wants to go to?

[Ant59]

Code Select Expand

echo $scripturl;

Outputs

Code Select Expand

http://67.23.243.193/index.php



And

Code Select Expand

echo $boardurl;

Outputs

Code Select Expand

http://67.23.243.193

[Arantor]

Hrm, so it is actually being generated incorrectly as opposed to being merely empty (which is what I was getting at before)

If you globalise $boardurl and echo that, what do you get? I think I know what's at fault here, I think there's a bug in the way it tries to detect the URL when there's an IP address in it...

[Ant59]

Yeah that makes sense, though I can't figure out why it would cause a difference in the way the url is written.

I globalised $boradurl. Same result.

(Have to leave this for now. Will be back on here later. Thanks loads for your help so far!)

[Arantor]

OK, let's try something experimental, this may or may not work and without further testing it may have undesired consequences. As far as I know, though, it should not produce any security issues for your forum - it is all about bringing URLs together rather than protecting for security purposes.

QueryString.php, around line 1468:

Code Select Expand

if (isset($detected_url) && $detected_url != $boardurl)

Change that to:

Code Select Expand

if (isset($detected_url) && $detected_url != $boardurl && SMF !== 'SSI')

[Ant59]

Awesome! It worked It was in Load.php, not QueryString.php on line 1468. But it all works great now. Thanks so much for your help!! You're brilliant.

[Arantor]

Don't know why I thought it was QueryString.php, heh, but yeah that's the one. Let me know if it has any odd side effects, but I don't think it should.

HI all,

This is my first post.  be gentle.

I am trying to integrate SMF with MODX and I have included the ssi like this

Code Select Expand

<?php
require("forums/SSI.php");
?>

and tried to keep it super simple for testing so I used this below to output the standard most recent posts.

Code Select Expand

<?php
ssi_recentPosts();
?>

I want the link for"post title" to point to http hxxp:74.54.206.217/forums/index.php?topic=3.msg3;topicseen#new [nonactive], but it instead points to http 74.54.206.217/~acktri/forums/index.php?topic=3.msg3;topicseen#new

I am running 2.0 rc4, server settings are:
local cookies off, subdomain independent cookies off.

I have friendly urls turned on via url rewrites on MODX.

Many Thanks,

Noah

That implies you either have the forum URL set wrong in the admin panel or MODX is broken. SSI functions all use $scripturl which is defined based on $boardurl in Settings.php.
