SimpleSEF 2.0 (SMF 1.1.x and SMF 2.0)

No, just edit the links in the custom block you have.

No, just edit the links in the custom block you have.

Not all of them are in the blocks, like the "help" tab.

[SlammedDime]

Sounds like you didn't make your custom help introduction tag properly...  It does not look anything close to what the default SMF help page looks like, so it must be custom, which means you made the links on that page wrong.

Yes it's custom using the Language Editor. And I haven't change any links on the help page.

HTML tag:

Code Select Expand

<p><a href="http://thetwoworldsforum.com/index.php/topic,2.0.html"><strong>Forum Guideline & Rules</strong></a></p>
This is in the help page and in the blocks as well.

Using BBcode:

Code Select Expand

[url=http://thetwoworldsforum.com/index.php/topic,2.0.html][b]Forum Guideline & Rules[/b][/url]
This is on the topic (which when using SEF enabled it will redirect to homepage while clicking that.)

Removing .html and clear cache doesn't seem to work as well.

[SlammedDime]

I'm confused and you're not being entirely clear...

Where is that at in a standard SMF help contents?  My 'Introduction' page looks nothing like yours... where did yours come from?  Where is the HTML where it get's it's contents?  Look at even the one here at SMF... it looks nothing like what you have.

[Xarcell]

Sorry Xarcell, I haven't had time to play with it...

Can you (as Arantor said), explain how it 'doesnt work'?

Here is the link to the original post: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=352351.msg2563400#msg2563400

It says:

I know this doesn't help much, since TinyPortal Beta5 hasn't been released to the public yet.

But...

SimpleSEF breaks TP, because it's automatically detects and alters the URL's. One cannot write articles, change themes through the theme box, etc.

Example URL's:
http://yoursite.com/index.php?action=tpadmin;sa=addarticle_html  - works
Becomes: http://yoursite.com/tpadmin/sa,addarticle_html/ - doesn't work

Is there any information that I can pass along to Bloc, to help fix this with TP?

Anytime a user tries clicks a link to write an article, it returns a blank page. Although viewing an article works just fine. I have a test site here: www.feyorin.com you can see the theme changer on the homepage doesn't work either.

[Arantor]

I have a feeling the _ is what's causing issues, but I'll defer to Dime on this one.

Admin> Language >English> Manual> manual_intro_overview
and in the box I replace as my own. 

Anyway this is not what I am talking about. Creating links in BBcode or HTML had make it redirect to homepage.

[~DS~]

Or had replace all to homepage link instead of what's in the BBcode/HTML

So uninstalling and reinstalling many times back and forth breaks a new errors in the log:

Code Select Expand

8: Undefined index: simplesef

Code Select Expand

Manual check all the edits in the files, seem fine and correct in place.

[SlammedDime]

The links you were creating were not the links you should have been using.... you need to use standard SMF links (index.php?topic=1.0), not SMF Queryless Url links (index.php/topic,1.0.html).

As for the errors... the only guess I would have is that you don't have the language strings in the language file properly.

O_O', I see...now it works. But how did it covert to / and , in the first place? It edit itself somehow...Will play around more with it.

EDIT: Fixed. Everything works now as should.
One major problem...
If someone copy and paste the url from within the forums in post or whatever with SEF enabled, with SEF disabled the url doesn't work or convert to back to SMF's native url.

[~DS~]

Ok here's what happen:

If you have

Code Select Expand

Search engine friendly URLs
Apache/Lighttpd only! enabled before installing SEF, chances are all the links posts in the forum are screwed which doesn't work with SEF. (which will redirect to the homepage)

Without "Search engine friendly URLs" enabled:
/index.php?topic=932.0


With "Search engine friendly URLs" enabled:
/index.php/topic/932.0

I have SEF disabled for now until there is a walkaround or support that link. Not sure if it's a bug but worth a look, Dime.
This isn't good especially with huge forums that have many links with "Search engine friendly URLs" and install SEF after. 

[Raffoz]

i installed it, but in the admin panel, near custom fields, it doesn't appear the title of the settings... i can click it but there's no title...

/index.php/topic/932.0

That you can simple fix with follow..
Find in SimpleSEF.php (function ob_simplesef($buffer)) the string:

Code Select Expand


  // Grab the topics...
$matches = array();

and add before:

Code Select Expand


// convert SMF-Seo urls..
  if(preg_match_all('~' . preg_quote($scripturl) . '\/topic\,[-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%?=\~_|!:,.;\[\]]+~', $buffer, $matches, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER) > 0)
  {
    foreach($matches[0] as $link)
      $buffer = str_replace($link, str_replace(array('/topic,', '.html'), array('?topic=', ''), $link), $buffer);
  }

That converts exist SMF seo url's ..

sorry feline,
is it for everyone to convert all the already existing links? or for that there's already the inside option?

[feline]

If you have enabled "Search engine friendly URLs" in SMF before you use SimpleSEF, then this patch will convert existing urls so SimpleSEF can handle these links.
Note that the links are NOT changed in Topics/Messages, it's changed only on runtime, so you can alway disable SSEF. Also Note, that you can NOT SSEF links in topics convert back to SMF format !

That finally works, thanks.

That's one con of SEF. 
The link will not work if you paste url with SEF and disable SEF, the url doesn't work nor convert it back to SMF format. Hope there is a way.

Anything is possible, just a matter of how much time we have to invest in coming up with a solution.  I might be able to come up with a reverse converter, but no promises

Great, that's one thing keeping me from having this for a while. Surprised  no one reported.
