SimpleSEF 2.0 (SMF 1.1.x and SMF 2.0)

[BeingSimplest]

I've just been familiar with SMF so haven't heard of SMF's package manager. But yes, due to what I read this is way better. Let's reinstall and see how it works then (:

[BeingSimplest]

It's interesting that we can install mod in a few clicks I've removed all the uploaded files and installed using package installer.

However, the same problem occurs. Just like what you said, user's page can still be accessed but boards can't be. I tried to disable the mod and everything worked well as ordinary. It's strange isn't it (:

[SlammedDime]

It looks like you have 'Simple URLs' enabled in the SimpleSEF settings.  Can you disable that and allow SimpleSEF to create content rich URLs and see if that works?  It may be a bug in SimpleSEF.

[BeingSimplest]

That works (: It should be a bug in SimpleSEF, I'll try looking to see if I can fix that myself.

Have just donated for you, good mod, good effort.

Another suggestion, when viewing user profile, the URL is rewritten something like /username_id/, do you think it's more SEF if we have /username/ only? Similarly, topic URL is like /topicname_id.html, is it better with /topicname.html only?

[SlammedDime]

Doing that would increase the complexity of the mod as well as the overhead of the forum.  Keeping the ID in the url prevents having to do additional database lookups on each request.  It's no more or less SEF than having the URL without it.

[BeingSimplest]

It has a problem with Vietnamese language [nofollow] encoding. For example:

Việc làm -> vic_lam (should be viec_lam).

Please have a check (: We use UTF-8

[BeingSimplest]

Anyone?

[SlammedDime]

I would need to check the encoding in the dictionary of SimpleSEF and make the change.  I don't have time at the moment to plug the character in to find out which file it's in and make the change, but I'll add it to my todo list.

I tried to install this on SMF 2.0 and got this message:

The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.
Is there an update available or a trick to get it to be recognized as valid?

[Masterd]

Emulate the version to SMF 2.0 RC5.

[MrMike]

Emulate the version to SMF 2.0 RC5.

Thank you!

Hey SD, any news for PrettyUrls converter?

What's the answer? Thanks

I installed Simple SEF and had a variety of issues I thought I'd report.

-----------------------------
When Simple SEF is enabled and I send a PM, I get a 500 error, and this path is shown in the error:

/forum/pm/f.inbox/l.-1/done.sent/

Additional info: I had to use the Simple SEF controls to exclude some actions to make the Avatar Verification mod work, I don't know if this has any bearing on it. I excluded (ignored) the following actions: admin, register, register2, verification code, verificationsimages, verifyimage.

-----------------------------

When accessing the Admin link, if it's from within a page or message the additional path info makes it so you can't get to the Admin section. If you go back to the main board listing page and click the admin link you're able to get to the Admin section.

-----------------------------


Also, I installed the SMF Archive package (SMF Archive, http://www.smfhacks.com By:vbgamer45), and when accessing the archive page (archive2.php) it generates the following errors and warnings:

Notice: Undefined index: admin in /var/www/virtual/<MY DOMAIN>/htdocs/forum/Sources/SimpleSEF.php on line 417

EDIT: I think this may be resolved...setting the Emulation Mode to SMF 2.0 RC5 allowed us to uninstall it.

Is it safe to remove the "Sources/SimpleSEF-Ext" directory? It appears to be empty.


We're trying to resolve a problem with Simple SEF caused by operator error. We had disabled Simple SEF because of conflicts with other packages and path issues. One of my moderators mistakenly deleted the Simple SEF package before uninstalling it. Now we're stuck..we can't uninstall it, and we can't reinstall it either.

When we try to upload it and install it we get this error:

This package is already installed, and no upgrade was found

That makes sense. However, we can't uninstall it no matter what we do. When we try to uninstall, we get this message:

This package cannot be uninstalled, because there is no uninstaller!

The package file is there in the Packages directory (SimpleSEF_2-0.tar.gz) and there appears to be a backup file in the /Packages/backups directory, named "2011-06-18_before_SimpleSEF_2-0.tar.gz".

So, our question is...How can we remove Simple SEF completely so we can start over with it? Or, how can we perform an uninstall of it?

please for PrettyUrls converter. pretty urls ==> simple sef

I would need to check the encoding in the dictionary of SimpleSEF and make the change.  I don't have time at the moment to plug the character in to find out which file it's in and make the change, but I'll add it to my todo list.

Thanks for that. I've been waiting.

Because my forum needs to be up and running in 2 weeks time. If you're busy you can tell me how the encoding scheme constructs, I can edit it myself (:

[spiros]

Does is work with SMF 2 Final? The parser gives an error.

[Masterd]

It should work fine. Did you tried to emulate the version?

[SlammedDime]

I don't know why it would give an error, it doesn't modify any SMF files, so it has nothing to error on.

[SleePy]

SlammedDime,

The new 2.0 version works fairly well.  Came across a few issues so far.

• Any board named after a action can no longer be accessed.  Reproducing I have a board named "Admin".  Clicking that board takes me to the admin panel instead of that board.
  
• My rewrite rule was "RewriteRule (.*)$ index.php".  Which while this would of worked, SimpleSEF wouldn't reenable and wouldn't give me any hint as to why it wouldn't.  Should make a error notice as too why.
  
• Additionally, I couldn't get the rewrite to work until I changed the last part of the rewrite to include ?q=$1 (as per new code it appears).  Otherwise it wouldn't work.  Your code to disable SimpleSEF should also check that or should work without it (not sure but it appears your code still wants to make it work?).
