I have another problem with Pretty url. When I am doing 301 redirect, the old page on my old forum that was not a SMF forum doesn't redirect to the new, revelat page in my new SMF forum that uses pretty url. Here is the problem:

I have this section in my old forum: www.myforum.com/info 
I want it redirect to my new SMF forum, to the revelant page: www.myforum.com/info2

(The new forum has the same domain name as my old one.)
when I set the 301 redirect in .htaccess, i type this to the end of the file:

redirect 301 /info http://www.myforum.com/info2

But the redirection doesn't work. The browser only lands in the frontpage of my new forum.

How can I solve this problem? If I add a different URL at a different website to redirect to, that works, but when I add the revelant section in the SMF forum, it doesn't. I have a suspicion this is because of Pretty url. What is the correct target address to redirect to, so that visitors can land in the revelant section?

When members are linking to threads on our forums that contain exclamation marks, they are being redirected to the main URL. Facebook for example, won't parse the entire URL. It works if we use a URL shortening service but we want to be able to post the link to our forums without having to do this.

Please advise.

I have problem with URL in the Sitemap.

I received alerts on my Google Webmaster as follows:

Quote
Invalid URL

This is not a valid URL. Please correct it and resubmit.

URL: /nigeria-news/
Parent tag: url
Tag: loc

When I checked my sitemap, the errors were confirmed. See it here: http://www.theinfostrides.com/sitemap/?xml

Also in the screenshot attached....

What should I do?

are you usind the sitemap mod that is in the mod site?

Hi,
I have instaled SMF 2.0.2 and Pretty Urls 1.0RC.
I think that my problem is common but I can't find something that would help me.

Posting, editing or removing the posts doesn't work because of too many loops.

I've noticed that the redirection goes on non-pretty urls url.

Anyone that knows the solution?

Hi I just resolved this problem.
I dowloaded this mode from this forum and reinstall it on my site.

Sorry for that question

Yes.

*using not usind, sorry!

I also have the combo PrettyUrls/SiteMap mod, both in the latest versions and I don't have any problem. BUT I see in your sitemap file something strange in the top
(function (){ for (var i in window) { try { var jsType = typeof window[i]; switch (jsType.toUpperCase()) { case "FUNCTION": if (window[i] !== window.location) { if (window[i] === window.open || (window.showModelessDialog && window[i] === window.showModelessDialog)) window[i] = function(){return true;}; else if (window[i] === window.onbeforeunload) // To try to fix onbeforeunload pop ups some users report seeing but I can't replicate. window.onbeforeunload = null; else if (window[i] === window.onunload) window.onunload = null; else window[i] = function(){return "";}; } break; } } catch(err) {} } for (var i in document) { try { var jsType = typeof document[i]; switch (jsType.toUpperCase()) { case "FUNCTION": document[i] = function(){return "";}; break; } } catch(err) {} } try { eval = function(){return "";}; unescape = function(){return "";}; String = function(){return "";}; parseInt = function(){return "";}; parseFloat = function(){return "";}; Number = function(){return "";}; isNaN = function(){return "";}; isFinite = function(){return "";}; escape = function(){return "";}; encodeURIComponent = function(){return "";}; encodeURI = function(){return "";}; decodeURIComponent = function(){return "";}; decodeURI = function(){return "";}; Array = function(){return "";}; Boolean = function(){return "";}; Date = function(){return "";}; Math = function(){return "";}; Number = function(){return "";}; RegExp = function(){return "";}; var oNav = navigator; navigator = function(){return "";}; oNav = null; } catch(err) {} })();

That isn't part of the sitemap mod or a regular xml file, there's something wrong with that

Code Select Expand

Where is the error showing up? Because, I could not see anything in the source file.

Here : http://www.theinfostrides.com/sitemap/?xml


Take a look to the attacht

Strange! I could not see such error here. Which browser are you using?

Please note that pretty-URL mod is currently disabled.

I'm using SRIron (a crhome based browser), but I saw that code only in your site, In my its ok, so I don't think I'ts a browser issue, did you tried yo saw that file when you aren't logged into your site?

I downloaded and installed SRIron then tested my website but nothing seen.

What is the link to your sitemap installed with PrettyURL?

What should I do?

www.desadaptados.net/sitemap.xml (i made a 301 redirecction to http://www.desadaptados.net/sitemap/?xml )

I am using both and don't seem to have a problem. Something else is interfering on your site, either a mod or hack.

I have prolems with the 'previous topic' and 'next topic' links that are available over the topic title headers in the right corner in SMF by default. When you click them, the topics load in a way that this is added to the end of their url: '?prev_next=next#new'

Google indexed both the pure URLs of my topics, and the URLs with this tag. Do you think this can result in a penalty? I am a bit worried.

Can you disable this previous-next topic link somehow?

Yes, you can instruct Google not to index them right inside your Google Webmasters.

Go to "Site Configuration" ===> "URL parameters"

You can set the rules there.
