SimpleSEF 2.0 (SMF 1.1.x and SMF 2.0)

[kpac]

First of all, thanks for the great mod. It's the only thing SMF needed.

I have a problem, unfortunately, and I can't figure it out.

I am running SMF 2.0 RC3 and SimpleSEF 1.0.3 on two different forums on two different websites. On one website, everything works perfectly, just as I want it, i.e. myforum.com/general-discussion/. [nofollow]
On the other, however, the board URLs appear as myforum2.com/ [nofollow]/ (the first board), myforum2.com/2/ [nofollow] (second board) and myforum2.com/3/ [nofollow], and so on. For some reason it seems to be using the board's ID as the URL instead of the title.

I'm using the latest version of SMF, as you can see, and the latest version of SimpleSEF. I have tried uninstalling all my other mods from both forums, I've tried reinstalling the mod, installing the mod using the different methods (server browser, via direct link, and upload), I've cleared the cache multiple times and all to no avail. My .htaccess file says nothing unusual. Website design and SMF customisation is nothing new to me so I don't know what's wrong.

Do you have any idea what's going wrong? I appreciate any help.

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. 

dismal, can u explain to me this thing?

it means that if i use simple sef, and i convert and use all new links in the new form, then if i uninstall the mod, all links will be broken?

If you are copying and pasting links from the forums itself with SEF enabled and uninstall...yes the links will be broken.

Try changing the settings. Uncheck "Create Simple URLs".

[kpac]

Heh, thanks for the suggestion, but I've tried more than you could imagine.

With simple URLs on, the URLs look like myforum.com/board_2.0/ [nofollow] etc., which is the way it should look, but I still can't figure out why it doesn't work the normal way.

[Yağız...]

Disable "Create Simple URLs" option.

kpac - sorry I didn't see your post before.  Normally that happens when the board names are not being cached properly (or if you have caching disabled, they are not being retrieved from the database for whatever reason.  Any errors in the error log for your forum?

[coolfx350]

what's the difference between this mod and the pretty url?

[SlammedDime]

they both pretty much do the same thing, but the implementations are completely different, and I aimed to make this one as simple to use as possible from an admin/user standpoint.

[truhe]

Great mod. But when I write a pm and put something into "To:" the name is replaced by another nick. When I uncheck "Enable SimpleSEF" it works again.

[SlammedDime]

What version of SMF and what version of the mod?

[truhe]

SMF 1.1.11
SimpleSEF 1.0.3

I also installed
Another URL Popup      1.0
Ignore user      1.4

[SlammedDime]

I'll have test this to see what is causing it

Level 1 caching is enabled and I couldn't find anything wrong with the database. I've a feeling it must be the remnants of some poorly uninstalled mod. Anyway, there are two different errors.

Thanks again for any light you can shine on this.

[SlammedDime]

The first one is due to the language strings not being in Modifications.english.php (or if they are, the cache needs to be cleared so that files is reloaded).

The second one is the source of the issue... it can't find the ID in the boardNameList array, which means it wasn't populated into the cache properly.  The only way I could troubleshoot further is if you wanted to created an FTP account for me on your host that I could use to check the files to see what is happening.

[kpac]

Okay, thanks. I'll get back on this tomorrow. Schooooool.

Thanks a lot. Does this happen on your board, too ? Or do you have to install a SMF 1.1.11 first ? 

[kpac]

I just sent a PM to you with all the required details. Thanks for the help.

[truhe]

In my case (name is replaced by another nick) the name is always replaced by the nick "Macy" which is the member with ID=1
