SimpleSEF 2.0 (SMF 1.1.x and SMF 2.0)

[Ensiferous]

Few issues I have discovered so far:

- Read PM tab doesn't work for me, but it seems to work for everyone else, so there's something that's blocking me from reading PMs. The annoying thing is I cannot replicate this on an empty forum so I'll need to create a full-copy.

- Quoting a post for quick-reply will not work.

[SlammedDime]

Getting any errors when trying to read PM's?

I'm at work now, but will test the quick-reply issue a bit later when I get home.

[Ensiferous]

Nothing of consequence, just a white page. I'm currently doing a copy of my database and will test this more thoroughly when it's done.

[SlammedDime]

My only guess would be that you have a PM that contains something that might be causing an issue when trying to parse links.  Seems odd though.

hi there... i have a problem i installed the package and enabled it..

but,

when i click on a category on my forum, the adress looks like that; "www.mysite.com//" and when i click a topic, it looks like that "www.mysite.com//_371.0.html"

as you can see, no category name, no topic title... what can i do?

[Daniel15]

As for boards with the same name - I'll work up something so that board names might be prefixed with their category name, or maybe a number.  I'll find some way to work it out that doesn't reduce overhead too much.

While it's definitely a rare occurrence, there could be two boards with the same name in the same category
Perhaps use the board ID in a URL like board-name_id?

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.

Thanks a lot! SimpleSEF is working now.
I've got another problem with it yet - the old links inside the topics are not substituted with the new ones  as example this one:
http://www.aquaportal.bg/forum/index.php/topic,1245.0.htm
leads straight to the forum index instead to the topic itself.

Boby_ I didn't take into account urls that were rewritten using SMF's queryless urls... I'll have to fix that.

I'll need a link to your site, as well as what language your forum is in, and if you're using UTF-8 or not.

Daniel15 - Yea, that's why I'll probably do the 'postfix' system and just postpend a number to the board name

I didn't have any issues quoting posts for quick reply... I'd need a link and test account on your site to test it out with Firebug and see what's happening.

Are you going to release a new version still today with all the fixes ?

Otherwise I will wait for a new version, until I reenable it.


[offtopic] Also, will you soon also update the Ajax Recent Topic mod for RC2 ?

Many thanks.

[hartiberlin]

There is also a bug from SMF with the
meta tag robots=noindex

Please have a look here:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=353072.0

Maybe you can also fix this, so Google is
again crawling the forum again ?

Many thanks.

[hartiberlin]

I installed now additionally
the Meta Data Mod:

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1871

Which fixes the problem with the robots Meta Tag.

Maybe you can make sure, that this will
also work together with SimpleSEF.
That would be great !
Many thanks for your hard work.

Regards, Stefan.

I'll need a link to your site, as well as what language your forum is in, and if you're using UTF-8 or not.

my site link is: www.weborjin.com language is turkish, i am not using utf-8

[hartiberlin]

Better always use UTF-8 if you don´t use just English as your main language !
Otherwise it is all too uncompatible !

[SlammedDime]

Stefan - there is no issue with the robots meta tag in SMF.  In a fresh copy of SMF, it works exactly how it should and there is no SMF bug in it.  As Feline said in your other topic, it is a PortaMX bug.

Underfire, I'll try and check on this tomorrow.  Are you using version 1.0.1?

[hartiberlin]

Hmm,
I am not sure now,
if I should enable the
Meta Data Mod:

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1871

and use the Meta Tag robots=index,follow

in it ?
Or should I disable that tag in it and leave it for
SMF to set this ?

Many thanks.

[SlammedDime]

The default action IS index,follow, even if the tag isn't there, it's implied by search engines.  SMF properly handles the noindex.

[hartiberlin]

If I use the
Meta Data Mod:

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1871
and disable in it the robots tag,
it does not display anymore any robots meta tag.

So SMF does not handle anymore this meta tag...

So what should I do ?
Deinstall this mod again ?
But it has other useful meta tags in it too..
Hmm...

SlammedDime,

The mod doesn't work at all for me. No errors or anything, it just doesn't work. I'm also positive mod_rewrite is installed, and I can enabled friendly URLs in my admin area of the site.

In what sense doesn't it work?  Does it not rewrite urls?  Will it not enable?  Does it throw 404 error messages when you try to access parts of your board?
