Pretty URLs

[Nao 尚]

Just from memory: isn't this because the move operation uses something like "toboard" or "fromboard" in the URL, instead of just "board"?
I know I've fixed this in my own version of SMF2 (which I always insist Eldacar should use too ), it's simply a matter of making sure "board" is preceded by [?;&].

[Dannii]

Can I delete the cache table too?

Um, probably. But empty tables really don't have much of a performance hit...

And yep, it's because it uses toboard I think. Should be fixed in the latest snapshot.

Great mod but I'm still having problems here and there.  Whenever I have pretty URL's on and go to some action pages, the page would be blank.  Also, if I try to access the child board through the parent board, it'll use the original unpretty URL and return a 404 error.  I've cleared my cache and everything prior to this.  Oh yeah, if I uncheck board pretty url, the pages would be ridirected infinitely and return an error.  If I uncheck all options but the main pretty url option, the same would happen.

[Dannii]

Are you using the latest snapshot? At least some of that sounds like things that have been fixed already.

[Nao 尚]

Hey Dannii, did you see my posts on the other board.....?

[WAHS]

Hello,

I installed v8 and the url works like a charm... but I realise that when I go inside boards and threads, I need to re-log in (the header shows the log in form). When I click "Home", it's logged in...

Why will this happen and how to solve this pls? Thanks...

[Riotblade]

Yes, I'm using the latest snapshot.  If those things should be fixed already, there might be some conflicting code left over by SMF's uninstallation system.  I should go over the code manually and check.

I installed this mod(Snapshot 2007-11-16)   in my forum successfully but I am having problem with my custom gallery menu bar link. it displays this url when I try to view my custom gallery link

gallery/?pretty;action=gallery

There is no action for that link cause I directly link their my coppermine gallery. I can't now access my gallery page using the smf menu bar.

I tried to uninstall the mod and it uninstalled successfully. When I try to click my gallery link it display the error. I can't get it back. I already find the modified files but can't seem find the errors.

Hope someone could help, thanks in advance.

I got some questions.
1. What does

# If you have changed the base URL to something different from $boardurl, you can install the actions-ext-none package too.

mean? How do I do that, so I get it working? I mean I can't change the base URL to be not the board URL because that'd mean my URL I am pointing to would be different form where I actually get to, right?

2. Would it be anyhow possible to get Child board trees into the URL tree? Changing the URL slug manually in the board options would be neat, too.
I'd do it myself, but I'm not that used to the SMF code... Help with this would be great.

Thanks in advance for answers.

[Dannii]

WAHS, do they all have the same subdomains etc? I don't think this mod could change how the login process works.

fangweile, Have a full link to the gallery?

it's probably badly written, but I mean adding something to the end of the base url like "forum", so that it looks like a subfolder, except it doesn't exist.

2. Would it be anyhow possible to get Child board trees into the URL tree? Changing the URL slug manually in the board options would be neat, too.

Not without lotssss of effort I doubt it's worth it.

hi, Dannii

i have installed 0.8 from here,
http://prettyurls.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Base/
and its doin good.

are there any updates? coz i see in the mod site its still 0.7

[Dannii]

It takes a lot of time to get to the stage where I consider something worthy of being a complete version (and therefore being published on the mod site), however as a lot of people want to keep up with the changes I make, I've been uploading snapshots. I've been very busy for a month though, so I haven't made any recent changes sorry. But in the future that's the place to look.

[cru]

so is it safe to say that i don't have to upgrade to the  "snapshots", since im not having any issues with my 0.8?

TIA!

No. If you want to stay compatible--you'll have to upgrade. There are lots of changes ahead (for the better), so you really should. Still, no hurry for now. Wait for a future version.

PS: there's also the also of topic splitting/removing/merging which may or may not work on current versions. I've submitted the fix to eldacar/Dannii, I'm guessing he'll be implementing it in v0.8 as well.

there r another way to resolve turkish character problem without utf8 ?

[Dannii]

If you have the mb string extension installed it should work I hope.

u said for me ?

[Nao 尚]

Yes.
Or, try to replace this in Subs-PrettyUrls.php:

Code Select Expand

if ((empty($modSettings['global_character_set']) || $modSettings['global_character_set'] !== 'UTF-8') && function_exists('mb_convert_encoding'))
$text = mb_convert_encoding($text, 'UTF-8', 'auto');

You can first try to remove , 'auto' and save. If it doesn't work, replace the whole thing with:

Code Select Expand

if ((empty($modSettings['global_character_set']) || $modSettings['global_character_set'] !== 'UTF-8') && function_exists('utf8_encode'))
$text = utf8_encode($text);


It might work...
(eldacar, why isn't this implemented in the svn by default? One of many things you should really steal from my custom version...)

[mrzcn]

thanks for reply but it doesnt work still

[Nao 尚]

You have to uninstall the mod, delete the smf_pretty_topic_urls table and reinstall the mod after uploading the modified file...
