Pretty URLs

[speshul]

You need to fix modifications.english.php so that there is only one ?> and it's the very last thing in the file.

where is this file? i see no such file under this name in the dl package.

[Dannii]

It's a SMF file, look in Themes/default/languages

[speshul]

To change it to mysite.com/memberprofilename [nofollow] edit the profiles callback function so that the constructed URL just adds the profile name directly to $boardurl and not $boardurl.'/profile/.

can you please tell me the file that this profiles callback function would be located in?

You'll then need to edit the rewrite rules by going to action=admin;area=pretty;sa=filters and removing profile/ from the beginning of the rule.

So the code here listed as 

Code Select Expand

"rewrite": {
            "priority": 40,
            "rule": "RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;action=profile;user=$1 [L,QSA]"

Should be

Code Select Expand

"rewrite": {
            "priority": 40,
            "rule": "RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;action=profile;user=$1 [L,QSA]" 

also in the pretty url's admin it shows everything listed as undefined & Version info:
Current version: 0.9

Latest version: 0.8.4 Download ... I took the advice you gave to the last post and dl;d your 0.9 version but it showd that info so just wanted to make sure its normal and that i wasn't required to dl an older version first..

Sources/PrettyUrls-Filters.php

Code Select Expand

"rewrite": {
            "priority": 40,
            "rule": "RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;action=profile;user=$1 [L,QSA]"
Exactly.

Latest version: 0.8.4 Download ... I took the advice you gave to the last post and dl;d your 0.9 version but it showd that info so just wanted to make sure its normal and that i wasn't required to dl an older version first..

That's a little strange, but isn't a problem.

Thanks Dannii

When I go to uninstall my current 0.8 version, I get test failed messages for subs.php, ManageBoards.template.php, and Modifications.english.php. 

Not sure I should continue. My forum went down the other day for no apparent reason and the support at my host had to comment out a small line in subs.php to get the forum back up.

[Dannii]

What line did they change? Have you installed any other mods since installing 0.8?

[cassie]

They had to comment out line 2714  ----->    ob_start('ob_sessrewrite'); 

Yes, I've installed other mods since 0.8.

[speshul]

OK I've made the changes to all 3 areas but when i type in www.mysite.com/profilename [nofollow] its just an error page, something im missing? i did not change any of the pretyURL admin settings, should i?

just a side not: when i clicked core Enable URL rewriting & Rewrite Profile URLs i got blank pages.  I must be lacking something. im restored as before but apparently lacking something on my end or not?

Well that was a bit of a silly thing to do...

I suggest you uninstall it, and then for the files it had problems with, you'll have to manually uninstall the changes from those.

Did you ever have the mod working before? You server does have mod_rewrite and .htaccess enabled doesn't it?

I have had it installed but once i clicked those two functions together it cleared out the site so ill have to get back to you on that one, i have no idea how to tell through the cpanel X yet as this is a brand new host, I changed simply for the use of apache(?) since apparently alot of mods require it or dont work well with windows.


p.s. thank you very much for helping me Danii. You have the patience of a saint!

[Dannii]

If you had it working on another host it may not work on your current one...

I don't know what made them choose that line to comment out. Have no idea. But host support rarely knows anything about SMF stuff. I troubleshoot and fix things myself. But I still don't know why my forum went down and apparently no one here does either. Weird.

I will do as you suggest and hopefully that should work fine. Thanks for your help, as usual.

According to my host i have both  mod_rewrite and .htaccess enabled on my server so i am doing something wrong because i ennabled al of the check boxes and got teh blank screen. must be missing a step.

[Dannii]

If you get blank pages then something should be added to either the SMF or the Apache error logs.

[MultiformeIngegno]

This MOD isn't compatible with SMF beta 4!!

[Tanshaydar]

This MOD isn't compatible with SMF beta 4!!

but it's compatible with smf 1.1.6

[Dannii]

This MOD isn't compatible with SMF beta 4!!

Ok.. well I'll get to that when I have spare time.

[stanaca]

Danii please make it compatible for beta 4 for because i am losing my lot of traffic from search engines.

[MultiformeIngegno]

You can emulate SMF beta 3 in the packages options, so you can install it..

[Dannii]

Yeah it seems to problem that they didn't change it to say "Public"... does it work if you emulate? I haven't checked, so I don't know if extra changes are required.
