SimpleSEF 2.0 (SMF 1.1.x and SMF 2.0)

[vicram10]

hi, SlammedDime , I use the simpleself and the "Site integration mod", it's compatible?
Because, I created two folders, "demos" and "descargas".

The simpleself mod change the action index.php?action=demos for this url_my_site/demos/

but it's not work fine, because generate Page Error (not found), but, if I add one thing

url_my_site/demos/

Replace

url_my_site/demos/demos/

work fine...

any idea?

SMF Version = 2.0 RC2

PS.: my hosting is GoDaddy = windows server

Because of the way the mod works, you cannot have any folders which are also the name of an action on your board.

Thanks, SlammedDime , but, in APACHE, work fine with this config... but in Windows Server (GoDaddy) appears this problem

[vicram10]

sorry for the doble post..

solved the problem, rename the file.php...

Old = demos/demos.php
Now = demos/demo-site.php

Thanks SlammedDime

Hello! I tested both redirection mods: PrettyURLs and SimpleSEF.
I select SimpleSEF for my site, but I wish some changes in redirection rules...

For example instead "/topic_id.msgID.html#msgID" be better "/board_id/topic_id.html#msgID" (same as PrettyURLs). I use PortaMx and for me perfectly be better "/forum/board_id/topic_id.html#msgID". Could you add this option in future realease?


Do you need in Russian and Russian-utf8 translations? I haven't so much free time to read all pages of topic, that's why I don't know is there or no...

Thanks for this mod !!

I doubt it, since that breaks the ability then to actually go to any message directly where the message is not on the first page. The .msgID.html is what tells SMF what page to go to within the topic.

Yes, that's right... but basic idea is actual yet.
Another ways: "/forum/board_id/topic_id/msgID.html" or simple "/forum/board_id/msgID.html".

I don't think the mod actually would support such a construction though.

[KensonPlays]

Installs correctly, but there is no text in the admin settings!!

[SlammedDime]

Arantor pretty much summed up why eliminating one of the msgxxxxxx is not doable, sorry, it's just the way I've chosen to construct the urls.

Kcmartz - not to sound rude, but haven't you had enough of a hard time installing mods by this point that you should at least know where to start troubleshooting the issues you're having?  No text strings means they aren't in your Modifications.english.php, OR you're using a language other than English (perhaps English-UTF8) and the language strings aren't in that file either.

[KensonPlays]

Only English, no UTF-8 at all!

Should I try reinstalling it?

Also this is pasted above the site:

Code Select Expand


$txt['simplesef'] = 'SimpleSEF'; $txt['simplesef_desc'] = 'This section allows you to edit the options for SimpleSEF.

Note: If you enable this and start receiving 404 errors on your board, it is likely because .htaccess or web.config was not created, or your host does not have the mod_rewrite or Microsoft Url Rewrite module installed on the web server and you will not be able to use this mod. [Help] If you have an Apache webserver, or one that uses .htaccess and has mod_rewrite functionality, you need a .htaccess file in your main SMF directory with the following: Code: RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php
If you have a IIS7 webserver, you need a web.config file in your main SMF directory with the following: Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="SimpleSEF">
<match url="(.*)" ignoreCase="false" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" pattern="" ignoreCase="false" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" pattern="" ignoreCase="false" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
If you have Lighttpd v1.4.23 or less, you will need the following in your Lighttpd config file, normally at /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf (thanks to Daniel15). $HTTP["host"] =~ "(www.)?example.com" {
url.rewrite-once += (
# Allow all normal files
"^/forum/.*\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|swf|css|htm|php)(\?.*)?$" => "$0",
# Rewrite everything else
"^/forum/.*$" => "/smf_2-0-rc2_sqlite/index.php"
)

So check your modifications.english.php and you'll probably find that the ?> is ABOVE all of that text... you'll need to move it below all of the text.

[KensonPlays]

Well, there must be one above and below, as I didn't paste the "?>" at the end, as that is a whole seperate error...

[KensonPlays]

What do I do now? (will check back in third period, going to first now...)

[SlammedDime]

There should only be one ?> and it should be at the very end of the file.

[KensonPlays]

Oh nos, I have to reupload the file!

[Arantor]

Aranter, there's gotta be a mod somewhere conflicting with it... I'm able to send PM's okay on my test site.  In any case, the next version will have some more admin config options to address this.

Any idea when that's gonna be? We have a very small list of mods and to be frank it's getting irritating that we can't send PMs. The only mod of any substance is Project Tools, which we definitely can't go without and it's increasingly looking like we're going to have to do without SSEF since we don't have the resources to debug it more (SleePy has already been debugging it this week to deal with extra /'s in the URLs)

[SlammedDime]

I decided against adding admin options and will instead be dropping the shortening of area/sa... so instead of /pm/send/... you'll now see /pm/sa,send/

So here's what I'm thinking.... I'm thinking of removing the 'rewriting' of the area/sa part... only because with SMF 2.0 and so many people using sa and areas for their mods that it will cause conflicts.... so what does this mean?

instead of http://www.myforum.com/profile/settings/ it would look like http://www.myforum.com/profile/area,settings/

This will make it indistinguishable as to what is an area call and what is a subaction call.

I already gave sleepy the fix for this... as simple as commenting out some code in the create_sef_url function.
