I was told to post my PHP errors here.

Something keeps happening on line 455. Would anybody want to take a look? Thanks!

I've installed Simple SEF but can't get it to activate.

I've verified that the .htaccess file contains the following lines (and I've even unconmented the rewriteBase line as a test):

RewriteEngine On
# Uncomment the following line if its not working right
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
The server does have mod_rewrite installed.

No matter what I do, the "Enable SimpleSEF" checkbox will not stay checked. (??)
Any ideas on what I could try next?

Current config:
SMF version: SMF 2.0

Installed Mods:
SimpleSEF     2.1
SMF Archive     2.0
Karma Buttons     1.1
Tagging System     2.4.2
Limit Posts Per Day     1.0
Hide SMF Version     1.0.6a
Last Users In 24 Hours     1.0
More Spiders     1.2
Contact Page     3.0

The .htaccess must be as follow:

Code Select Expand


RewriteEngine on
# RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]


[MrMike]

Thank you- I didn't srcoll down far enough to see the last line in the Simple SEF help text ('RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]'').

Now it's keeping the checkbox checked, but I'm not seeing the kind of URLs I think I should be seeing...for example, on a post titled "Windows Xp Drivers x32/x64 Update", the link appears as

http://www.domain.com/10/-313260.0.html

No keywords and no actual text in the URL...I do not have the "Create Simple URLs" box cheked. What I have is:

Enable SimpleSEF - checked

Create Simple URLs - not checked

Character to be used for spaces in the url - set to '-' (a dash)

Topic Extension - set to 'html'

Advanced Options - checked

I must be doing something wrong, but I've no idea what. (??)

The .htaccess must be as follow:

Code Select Expand


RewriteEngine on
# RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

Hi I am getting this error a lot, it's filling up my error logs:

Type of error: Undefined
Apply Filter: Only show the error messages of this URL

How would I fix this, does anyone know?

I think this problem is this code part in SimpleSEF.php

Code Select Expand


            if (!isset($utf8_db[$charBank])) {
                // Load up the bank if it's not already in memory
                $dbFile = $sourcedir . '/SimpleSEF-Db/x' . sprintf('%02x', $charBank) . '.php';

                if (!is_readable($dbFile) || !@include_once($dbFile))
                    $utf8_db[$charBank] = array();
            }

Replace that with

Code Select Expand


            if (!isset($utf8_db[$charBank])) {
                // Load up the bank if it's not already in memory
                $dbFile = $sourcedir . '/SimpleSEF-Db/x' . sprintf('%02x', $charBank) . '.php';

if(file_exists($dbFile))
include_once($dbFile);
else
$utf8_db[$charBank] = array();
            }

I made the change below, but I didn't see any difference. 

URLs still appear as something like "http://www.domain.com/11/-313273.0.html"

Look at your server if the folder /Sources/SimpleSEF-Db/ exist and you find in the folder a lot of files (x00.php .. xff.php)

Yes, I see lots of files like that in the directory.

[feline]

Check if the access for the folder 755 and for the files 644 ...

[MrMike]

Check if the access for the folder 755 and for the files 644 ...

The folder is chmod 755, the files inside it all have permissions of 600.

[feline]

Try to change the permission to 644 for the files ...

I did that and then turned SEF on, but I didn't see any change. The URLs look like this:

http://www.domain.com/2/-152468.msg340571.html

Another odd thing I noticed is that the very first board in the very first group can't be reached at all when Simple SEF is on...the URL looks like this:

http://www.domain.com/board/

This is an invalid URL and returns an SMF error.

All the other boards in all other categories have URLs similar to this one below, with a different number for each board, and they all work:

http://www.domain.com/5/

I've verified this on both a custom theme and on the Curve theme. 

[MrMike]

No suggestions or possible solutions on this issue?

I'd love to use Simple SEF (and even made a donation), but if these issues can't be resolved then there's no way I can use it.

[MrMike]

Okay, no response, no reply. At this point I've given up on using Simple SEF.

This mod (2.1 version) is buggy!

You could destroy the forum - adds to the noindex meta tags!

<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />

Through him I have lost all links!

--------------------
SMF version 2.0

[Suki]

Derof,  this mod dose not add any metatags to your forum.


this mod redirect the old urls:  index.php?topic=111  to the new ones automatically.

Once installed and enabled, appears in the source code meta tags robots "noindex" in all the topics in the forum. After disabling simpleSEF - no robots meta tag at all. Most of my topics in my two forums were removed from the google search engine. I resigned from this.

[Suki]

Well, first of all, Google does not make changes to their search engine every time you make changes to your website...  so it's hard to believe that immediately after you installed this mod all your search results were gone...

But to each their own, I had used this mod since the first version in apache and in LiteSpeed with no issues at all and no metatags added...

<meta name="robots" content="noindex"/>   its in by default in SMF 2.0

you can set this or unset it for every page you don't want to be indexed, I do this in the FAQ mod


take a look at your Index.template.php file:

   // Please don't index these Mr Robot.
   if (!empty($context['robot_no_index']))
      echo '
   <meta name="robots" content="noindex" />';
