Pretty URLs

If you post joomla's .htaccess I'll see what can be done...

Sure, here it is:

Try adding the mod's .htaccess file before all of that. You will need to add forum/ at the beginning of each like this:

Code (find) Select Expand

RewriteRule ^(activate|admin|announce|ban|boardrecount|buddy|calendar|cleanperms)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;action=$1 [L,QSA]

Code (replace) Select Expand

RewriteRule ^forum/(activate|admin|announce|ban|boardrecount|buddy|calendar|cleanperms)/?$ ./index.php?pretty;action=$1 [L,QSA]

I'm having some performance issues with PRetty url...

"Page created in 1.847 seconds with 18 queries. (Pretty URLs adds 1.779s, 2q)"

and on many pages even more... our forum haqs about 300k posts. Its on VPS.

smf_pretty_urls_cache 1,085,225 records in it and 147MB ...

Oh dear!
Can you turn on the query debugging, and copy that info here please?

Hello!

I installed this mod and nothing happened! I checked my error logs and I'm seeing:

8: Undefined index: pretty_admin_menu
File: [PATH OMITTED]/forums/Sources/Subs.php
Line: 2895

So I've had a look at line 2895 and can see ?action=admin;area=pretty which I tagged onto the end of my forum index url manually in the browser and there was the admin panel So I have it installed and working but I'm getting that error and have no pretty_admin_menu

Any advice?

Looks like the language files didn't get modified correctly. Make sure all the entries got added to modifications.english.php.

Ok, thanks. Great mod btw.

How i can set pretty urls info in the footer?

Thanks Dannii, it doesn't seem to work yet though. It recreated the .htaccess in the forums root too when I enabled pretty urls again, but I've deleted it, yet it doesn't work. this is my current .htaccess file situated in the joomla root:

Dark-Wolf, what info?

n°queries etc

CueBurn: '!'   =>   array ('!'),

Thank you!  I've removed the line and managed to create a "tar.gz" file to then reinstall.  It's still not recognising links with a "!" at the end though (of which there are a lot on my forum!)...  I think there were some tables or something that needed to be removed too?  If it's not too much trouble would you mind letting me know what the next step is please?  I'm not a whizz at coding but I try!  Cheers

[lobo777]

Hey, I have enjoyed using this mod - definitely cleans things up a lot for the members.  Until recently I had been running it - I am now having a pretty big issue.

So I have been trying to do some canonical changes in my urls from non-www to www only so I disabled and uninstalled the mod.  I later turned it back on after changing everything back in my .htaccess file and it works fine for the most part... HOWEVER,  now when a member is logged in at the Index level, everythings great - when they go to a board or topic, it immediately shows that a member is no longer logged in.  If I hit the home/forum button it goes back to the index and shows as being logged in again!

I have disabled it for now and everything is ok with the members staying logged in, so I'm assuming it is something with what I did with pretty url earlier.  Any ideas?

[lobo777]

You know, I just noticed that it states that it uses the user name not the display name... is this perhaps the problem, since the account that I am using has a different username than the display name?

[JoshieDaMan]

I need a redirecting code for this. There's one feature that aren't working that I have integrated. How to get it to redirect to /index.php?action=chat because it redirected me to /chat and it's not working properly. Only shown the template but not the chat.

It is probably using relative URLs. Make sure everything uses full URLs with http://yourdomain.com etc. If that doesn't work I'll look into it more.

The url is with www and as well without www. But most used is www.

EDIT: Won't let me even go to /blog where the wordpress is, and others.

Dannii: For a future version, are you planning on making it easier for admins to change the URL of a topic?

I often rename topics and would love to be able to change the URL along with that but at the moment it involves going into the database.

I'm trying to install Pretty URLs 0.9 on SMF 1.1.7 and I get this error in the package manager.  I've tried all the standard fixes like manually creating the temp directory and setting the permissions to 777.  Any ideas on how to get it installed?...

Installing this package will perform the following actions:

UPDATE:  Examining the issue further, it appears that $sourcedir in the installation files is not resolving to the correct directory.  Here's a sample message from the error log...

[bigboss2]

I am having problem with my rss feeds. My site url is http://www.cricket-highlights.com/index.php [nofollow] Can anyone tell me why links in feeds are not working correctly.

[locau]

hello there,

after the upgrade i have an error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in www/forum/Sources/QueryString.php on line 217

i've uninstalled the old version and installed after the new version (0.9), the install process gaive me an error on "querystring.php" so i think all changes on that file weren't made so i did them manualy according to the parse code.

The new code changes a bit here so i don't know if it will make any difference :

old -> $_REQUEST['board'] = str_replace(array('&#039;', '\\'), array("\x12", ''), $_REQUEST['board']);
new -> $_REQUEST['board'] = str_replace(array(''', '\\'), array("\x12", ''), $_REQUEST['board']);

How can i fix this pls ?
