SimpleSEF 2.0 (SMF 1.1.x and SMF 2.0)

[hhy89]

thanx it is perfect mod

[JBlaze]

I tried to install the mod - everything was fine until I've tried to activate it.
When I try to put the check and push the save button, nothing happens - the checkbox is empty again and the mod is not active. I've checked all the files by hand - what should be installed was installed. Do you have any idea why this happens?
Is it supposed to happen when there is no Microsoft URL Rewrite or mod_rewrite running on the server or there could be another reason?

There is a failsafe that will disable the mod if your server has not created a web.config or .htaccess file (depending on your server software). You will have to manually create either file using the readme in the Admin section for the mod.

is there any process with the turkish issue??

The way the code block works is like this:
If you have IIS installed, it checks to see if you have a web.config file with the proper information.  If you do, it enables it.  If you don't have IIS, then it checks to see that .htaccess exists and has the right information.  If you do, then it enables it.  If not, then it does not allow you to enable it.

If you have an apache, litespeed or Lighttpd server, make sure that .htaccess exists and has the proper information shown in the SimpleSEF configuration panel by clicking the little [Help] link in the description.

I believe I have a solution for it... I'm just waiting for Yagiz to PM me his email address so I can send him a copy to test.

Oops sorry Pm'ed ^^

[SlammedDime]

No worries, I've sent the email... please reply back here or via PM and let me know how it goes

Hi SlammedDime,
nice mod !

Well, I have some problems in the Admin/Forum Maintenance/Routine/Check all files against current versions
area.

If you want to see, if all SMF Files versus current onces,
it only shows ??

ALso sometimes, when I just want to go into a board,
it just say: the topic does not exist...
Maybe this is somecaching issue ?

I am using it on a PortaMX enabled site.

I must test this some more and let you know.

Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan.

[SlammedDime]

I've updated the mod to v1.0.1 which should fix any issues with character sets and the issue Yagiz was having.  The mod should now work with any character set that SMF works with.

Stefan - I haven't had any issues with the version check, works okay on my test sites.  I haven't used PortaMX, but that shouldn't make a difference.

Great mod, but why isn't redirecting with 301 from the old link to the new link? That means, if you don't start from zero with a forum that has this mod installed, all the links google indexed and all backlinks will not be available. Am I right?

[hartiberlin]

Hi,

How does one update best from:
Version: 1.0.0 to Version: 1.0.1 ?

Just via the package manager ?

Or do I have to deinstall Version: 1.0.0 first ?

By the way, when I set my forum to German language as the default,
SimpleSEF Version: 1.0.0  did not show any settings inside its admin panel...
So do I need to copy all the values from the English admin panel
into the German admin panel settings ?

It does, and should, 301 redirect from ?topic=1.0 to /general_discussion/my_topic_1.html.  It does on my test site.  See the screenshot with the Firebug output...

greetings!

Stefan - Sorry, I forgot to include the upgrade instruction in the mod package.  I'll upload a new one momentarily that allows 'upgrade'.

ETA: Uploaded revised package.

Well,I just deinstalled the old 1.0.0 version and installed the new
1.0.1 version
and the error with it not showing the latest file versions is still there.

When I disable SimpleSEF fromits admin panel,
the latest file versions are again there.

So maybe this is an issue, cause I also have installed the latest  PortaMX ?

[hartiberlin]

Here is a screenshot, that it does not show the file versions.

When I disable SimpleSEF it does show the file versions again.

[SlammedDime]

Thank you 130860, I'll create a Spanish Language Pack shortly.

Stefan - I'd need to log in to your board and see what the issue is.  If you can PM me an admin login, I'll take a look at it.  Before that though, have you tested on the Default Curve theme to see if the issue still happens there?

[hartiberlin]

Okay, I will email you an admin password.
I am only using the default Curve theme.

I am only using:

1.     SimpleSEF      1.0.1
2.    Sitemap    2.1.0
3.    Ad Managment    2.3.6
4.    PortaMx v0.971-1 upgrade    0.971-1
5.    PortaMx v0.971    0.971
6.    RSS Feeder    1.1.4


Regards, Stefan.

It does, and should, 301 redirect from ?topic=1.0 to /general_discussion/my_topic_1.html.  It does on my test site.  See the screenshot with the Firebug output...

Curios, mine it says like this:

Code Select Expand


Moved Permanently

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


This is my .htaccess (it's exactly what it says in the help link you provide in the mod):

Code Select Expand


RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule (.*) index.php


Why on earth it would redirect to a 404 instead of 301? :O

[SlammedDime]

It didn't redirect to a 404... it redirected to a Server error page.  the part about the 404 just means that your server doesn't have a 404 error handler setup so it threw a generic and let you know about it.

As for the error, as it says, more information is available in the Server Error log... any errors in there?

Stefan - Looks like it has to do with gzip compression.  I'll have to play with it locally to see if I can reproduce it and find a fix for it.  For the time being, you can either disable gzip compression in SMF and have the functionality, or keep it enabled and just wait it out until I can find time to see what is happening.

[hartiberlin]

Many thanks.
Where do I enable or disable GZIP compression ?
