SimpleSEF 2.0 (SMF 1.1.x and SMF 2.0)

[Farmacija]

Since there isn't any changes to core smf files, can we just upload this mod to the server and then activate it through admin panel?

And why is so hard to make it compatibile with smf 2.0 gold and put it for download?

I try to emulate and i got nothing and after upload all necessary files, there isn't option for simplesef in admin panel ...

I try to edit package.info to make it possibile to install through admin panel but i get this error when trying to installl

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/farmaceu/public_html/forum/Packages/temp/SimpleSEF_2-0/add_settings.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/farmaceu/public_html/forum/Sources/Packages.php on line 938

[SlammedDime]

It's more than just uploading the files and calling it a day.  add_settings.php adds important information to the database that allows SimpleSEF to run and be recognized by SMF.

The error your getting is through no fault of this mod, but is due to your server setup.  Either your packages directory isn't writeable by the server, or a temp folder wasn't created, or the package wasn't extracted properly.  You can manually extract add_settings.php to your root SMF folder and manually navigate to it in your browser and that will add the necessary settings.

And it's not hard to make compatible with 2.0 gold (it already is, it just won't install by default without emulation because I haven't updated the package due to lack of time).  Another thing I don't get, or maybe people on this forum just don't understand the purpose of open source software yet... the project is on bitbucket, anyone can fork it, make changes, and submit pull requests.  It's not rocket science and improves community involvement.

Sleepy - The two last issues you had aren't too much of an issue at this point, as most people are on the latest version (I hope, anyway).  I'll try and make some provisions or warnings that the .htaccess might not contain the correct information like how I am doing with the Wordpress Bridge.  As for the first one, should be somewhat simple to correct, but probably only for the admin action or other ignored actions.  The mod first checks actions, before moving on to checking boards and topics.  Unfortunately it's a small limitation, but one that shouldn't come up to often.

The error your getting is through no fault of this mod, but is due to your server setup.  Either your packages directory isn't writeable by the server, or a temp folder wasn't created, or the package wasn't extracted properly. 

I set 777 to temp folder and then i get this error:

Fatal error: Class 'SimpleSEF' not found in /home/farmaceu/public_html/forum/Packages/temp/SimpleSEF_2-0/$auto_0.php on line 4

You can manually extract add_settings.php to your root SMF folder and manually navigate to it in your browser and that will add the necessary settings.

Error:

An Error Has Occurred!
This isn't really an error, just a message telling you that the settings have been entered into the database!

[spiros]

Strange thing. I tried on SMF2 Final with RC5 emulation and I had to click the check box many times to enable it (the page would refresh showing the box unchecked!). Then, although it created perfectly fine URLs it opened the home page of the main site. I.e. the forum is here:

www.nonsmokersclub.com/forum/index.php


but no matter which board or topic I clicked, it would open this page:


www.nonsmokersclub.com


This is the htaccess I used in forum folder (I tried unocommenting the 3rd line):

I can install SimpleSEF absolutely fine on my local Windows/IIS box, but when I install it on my Linux/Apache VPS, some of the options from the Admin Configuration menu disappear as soon as the install finishes.

The following options disappear from the Configuration section:-

Security and Moderation
Languages
Server Settings
Current Theme
Themes and Layout
Modification Settings

If I try to access any of these options by typing in the correct URL (i.e. /forum/index.php?action=admin;area=serversettings; for Server Settings), it just takes me back to the main Administration Center page.

See attached screenshot - right is normal, left is what happens with SimpleSEF installed.

This is a completely clean install of SMF2.0 with the default theme and no mods.

Any ideas why that's happening?

[SlammedDime]

Does the same problem happen if you use the horizontal menu, not the vertical menu?

[iwords]

Yes.  With that menu, SimpleSEF is the last option on the Configuration drop-down.  Everything that should be below it is missing.

[SlammedDime]

What version of PHP are you on?

[iwords]

5.1.6 according to phpinfo.

[SlammedDime]

In Sources/SimpleSEF.php

Replace the adminAreas() function with this below.  If it still doesn't work, uncomment the two 'log_error' lines, try again, then check your error log and copy/paste the two debug calls.

Code Select Expand

    public static function adminAreas(&$admin_areas)
    {
        global $txt, $modSettings;

        // We insert it after Features and Options
        $counter = 0;
        foreach ($admin_areas['config']['areas'] as $area => $dummy)
            if (++$counter && $area == 'featuresettings')
                break;

        $first_half = array_slice($admin_areas['config']['areas'], 0, $counter, TRUE);
        $last_half = array_slice($admin_areas['config']['areas'], $counter, NULL, TRUE);

        // Uncomment these two lines if it still doesn't work
        //log_error(var_export($last_half, TRUE), 'debug');
        //log_error(var_export($admin_areas['config']['areas'], TRUE), 'debug');

        $admin_areas['config']['areas'] = array_merge(
            $first_half,
            array('simplesef' => array(
                'label' => $txt['simplesef'],
                'function' => create_function(NULL, 'SimpleSEF::ModifySimpleSEFSettings();'),
                'icon' => 'search.gif',
                'subsections' => array(
                    'basic' => array($txt['simplesef_basic']),
                    'advanced' => array($txt['simplesef_advanced'], 'enabled' => !empty($modSettings['simplesef_advanced'])),
                    'alias' => array($txt['simplesef_alias'], 'enabled' => !empty($modSettings['simplesef_advanced'])),
                ),
            )),
            $last_half
        );

    }

Looks like it's a PHP bug when passing 'NULL' as the length parameter to array_slice.  You can use the corrected function below which should solve the problem:

Code Select Expand

    public static function adminAreas(&$admin_areas)
    {
        global $txt, $modSettings;

        // We insert it after Features and Options
        $counter = 0;
        foreach ($admin_areas['config']['areas'] as $area => $dummy)
            if (++$counter && $area == 'featuresettings')
                break;

        $admin_areas['config']['areas'] = array_merge(
            array_slice($admin_areas['config']['areas'], 0, $counter, TRUE),
            array('simplesef' => array(
                'label' => $txt['simplesef'],
                'function' => create_function(NULL, 'SimpleSEF::ModifySimpleSEFSettings();'),
                'icon' => 'search.gif',
                'subsections' => array(
                    'basic' => array($txt['simplesef_basic']),
                    'advanced' => array($txt['simplesef_advanced'], 'enabled' => !empty($modSettings['simplesef_advanced'])),
                    'alias' => array($txt['simplesef_alias'], 'enabled' => !empty($modSettings['simplesef_advanced'])),
                ),
            )),
            array_slice($admin_areas['config']['areas'], $counter, count($admin_areas['config']['areas']), TRUE)
        );
    }


[iwords]

That works now, thanks for your help.

[SlammedDime]

Great, I'll make the change for the next package

[SlammedDime]

Updated to version 2.1, compatible with SMF 2.0 Final now.

[Masterd]

Is there any other changes in the package?

[SlammedDime]

Bug fix from above, and a couple of fixes for some javascript code.  Otherwise no others right now.

[Farmacija]

Ok, i finally successed to install this mod with version 2.1

But now is problem some tp pages with query titles doesn't show at all, example -> http://www.farmaceuti.com/forum/page.prijemni/%20ispit%202011

Its weird that this page are shown correctly -> http://www.farmaceuti.com/forum/page.deficitarni,lekovi/

Some pages are in format -> http://www.farmaceuti.com/forum//page,121.html

And categories are don't have name in it, just id -> http://www.farmaceuti.com/forum/forum/#5 (see atach) and it redirects to all board index not on certain category

[SlammedDime]

The reason for the /forum/forum is because you have your forum in the /forum subfolder, and then a 'forum' action from the portal, so /forum/forum is what you get.

Your boards seem to load fine for me... http://www.farmaceuti.com/forum/molimo_registrujte_se/

Categories never have names in URLs, only boards do.

I'm not familiar with tiny portal and how it works or creates URLs, but anything conforming to an SMF standard should not have any problems.  If tiny portal has a feature that creates 'content filled urls', that will likely interfere with this mod and should be disabled.  If you want to have that type of feature with tiny portal, you should ask the tiny portal authors to look into making a module for this mod that might allow rich urls.

[Farmacija]

Yes, but click on the link marked on picture in attach -> it redirects to all board index no on specific one (http://www.farmaceuti.com/forum/forum/#13) ?
