I can not install it on SMF 2.0.2. It said "Sorry, but this modification does not appear to be compatible with the selected version." Can you help?

Do you have this option enable?

Create Simple URLs
Urls will look like /forum/board-1/, or /forum/topic-3.html instead of content filled.

do you have the SMF setting "Search engine friendly URLs" enable?

No, I do not have it enabled. When I enable it, the links look like this "mydomain.com/board-1.0" and "mydomain.com/board-2.0", but they all redirect to my homepage instead of the board.

No, I do not have "Search friendly URL's on". They will not enable. I reckon SimpleSEF is preventing that from happening.

Any possible ideas on what could be causing this?

EDIT: now when I disable SimpleSEF it doesn't disable. Even if I clean forum cache. So I uninstalled it and this came up:

Restore File Permissions
/home/xarcell/public_html/inspireromance.com/Sources/bad-behavior/bad-behavior/banned.inc.php

I uninstalled bad behavior mod and tried it again, with no change. Still doesn't work properly. Now I'm going to try installing it on a test site running on the same server.

[Xarcell]

Ok, I tested it on a fresh installation of SMF 2.0.2 that is on the same server. Either it does work properly with SMF 2.0.2, or something's wrong with my server. I will continue to try and track down the problem.

Does your server have mod_rewrite enabled..?

[Xarcell]

Does your server have mod_rewrite enabled..?

Supposed to, but I don't see it? http://inspireromance.com/phpinfo.php

[Suki]

You do have it, otherwise you won't be able to use the mod.

It is weird, on all the forums I installed this mod I never saw the board urls to use the ID only, usually the name is used

do you have any other script on your .htaccess file?

I want to assume is a weird server configuration or something else is modifying the urls after simpleSEF

[Xarcell]

I can't seem to figure it out either.

The only thing in my .htaccess is:

Code Select Expand

RewriteEngine On
# Uncomment the following line if its not working right
# RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

Which is right according to simpleSEF help. I tried to delete the htaccess after simplesef uninstall, to see if it would recreate it on reinstall , but resulted in a 404 error on my site after I removed it.

[Xarcell]

I am getting this error in my log. Any idea on what is causing it?

http://xxxxxx.com/Test/index.php?action=admin;area=packages;sa=uninstall2;package=SimpleSEF_2.1.tar.gz;pid=0
Could not remove or edit .htaccess file upon uninstall of SimpleSEF

When I remove a topic, it will have an "Session verification error". If I disable simpleSEF, I won't have that problem. Please check it. Thanks.

Hi,

I have installed it on SMF 2.0.2 under Nginx 1.2.0, PHP 5.4 fpm+ APC

Th mod has not been recognized the server, i have comment the code :

Code Select Expand

/*     // We don't want to break boards, so we'll make sure some stuff exists before actually enabling
            if (!empty($_POST['simplesef_enable']) && empty($modSettings['simplesef_enable'])) {
                if (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'IIS') !== false && file_exists($boarddir . '/web.config'))
                    $_POST['simplesef_enable'] = strpos(implode('', file($boarddir . '/web.config')), '<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php?q={R:1}"') !== false ? 1 : 0;
                elseif (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'IIS') === false && file_exists($boarddir . '/.htaccess'))
                    $_POST['simplesef_enable'] = strpos(implode('', file($boarddir . '/.htaccess')), 'RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php') !== false ? 1 : 0;
                elseif (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'lighttpd') !== false)
                    $_POST['simplesef_enable'] = 1;
                elseif (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'nginx') !== false)
                    $_POST['simplesef_enable'] = 1;
                else
                    $_POST['simplesef_enable'] = 0;
            } */

otherwise the case enabled simple sef doesn't want keep check.

if i do a php test file with

Code Select Expand

<?php echo '$_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE']' ?>
my server say nginx/1.2.0

not very importante it's work with commented code.

I have some error in my log :

Code Select Expand

http://forum.domain.org/index.php?action=viewsmfile;filename=latest-news.js;q=viewsmfile%2Ffilename.latest-news.js%2F
8: ob_start(): failed to create buffer
Fichier: /var/www/forum/Sources/SimpleSEF.php
Ligne: 323

and

Code Select Expand

http://forum.domain.org/index.php?action=.xml;type=rss;q=.xml%2Ftype.rss%2F
8: ob_start(): failed to create buffer
Fichier: /var/www/forum/Sources/SimpleSEF.php
Ligne: 323

The RSS link http://forum.doamin.org/.xml/type.rss/ work but cause error.

How i can correct this ? (all my log is full of this 2 error). "ob_start(): failed to create buffer" is a cache problem ?

Hi,

thanks for the great mod.

I installed it without any errors on smf 2.0.2

I have these two choices enabled without changing the other entries

Enable SimpleSEF
Requires mod_rewrite support or Url Rewrite/web.config (IIS7) support. Create Simple URLs
Urls will look like /forum/board-1/, or /forum/topic-3.html instead of content filled.

Create Simple URLs
Urls will look like /forum/board-1/, or /forum/topic-3.html instead of content filled.

then I also put the provided help code in .htaccess file.

after emptying the cache I found out that the URL was changed correctly

when click on last post it takes me correctly to it and with a html URL of topic.

but when I click on board it gives me the board new link but redirect me to the forum main page again! I already tried with English only board title.

I use English and arabic-utf8 and the above happens in both cases.

any idea what needs to be done here?

thanks

[BaghdadGhost]

Update:


when I disable

Create Simple URLs
Urls will look like /forum/board-1/, or /forum/topic-3.html instead of content filled.

it actually give me access to boards, but here we have another problem.

if the name of the board in Arabic it actually transliterate the words lol i.e. if the name of the board is Admin board in Arabic it changes it to qism_idari   

its also so slow when clicking an Arabic titled topic and also does the same to the tittle.

and Idea about this mess

thanks

[BaghdadGhost]

any idea about the above posted problem?

[Arantor]

It's done that way for a reason: there are all sorts of issues with using Arabic in URLs, as in they won't always work properly - which is why this mod's author changed it.

thanks Arantor,

see when I enable "Create Simple URLs" it does the job perfectly to topics. the only problem with is is that it won't allow me to access boards! when I click any board (english or arabic) it loads the main page and display a modified board link!

do you think of any reason for this?

thanks

[BaghdadGhost]

this one in the mod setting

[Arantor]

*shrug* I got nothing, then. The whole point is that it's suppose to transliterate to avoid all kinds of mess in URLs.
