SimpleSEF 2.0 (SMF 1.1.x and SMF 2.0)

[spiros]

If I had to guess, I'd say that Joomla's rewrites are interfering with SimpleSEF.  YOu can try to comment out the rewrite stuff in your public_html .htaccess file and see what happens then.  If that's the case, I'm not sure of the solution, I haven't run into that situation before.

I deleted the  public_html .htaccess file. Joomla site was non functional, SMF came up with exactly the same wrong redirects! Hence I'm inclined to think that this is not an issue of the public_html .htaccess file.

Found the solution. I deleted the Bot Blocker Mod and it worked ok.

However, is there a way to manipulate its output? I.e. it includes sometimes special characters on the URL like «».  I.e.
http://www.nonsmokersclub.com/forum/topicseen./genike-suzetese/%3C%3Ckapnosemo%3E%3E-sta-mpouzoukia-kai-ta-kazino-7121.msg7562.html#msg7562

Should I enter the exceptions as %C2%AB (percent encoding) in $newSettings['simplesef_strip_chars']?

I'll have to see what those characters are that it's encoding and see about either properly encoding them or stripping them out.

I don't see how the bot blocker mod is interfering with this mod though, as it is a conditional rewrite based on the user agent.

[spiros]

Well, I don't see either; the only thing I can tell is that it worked when removed.

[rajanpert]

my old url with the old version of SimpleSEF was http://www.example.com/forum/wap2/general_discussion/ which now changed to http://www.example.com/forum/wap2./general_discussion/ means wap2 is changed to wap2. due to this i am getting 404 error when i am trying to access with old url.

Any solution....

EDIT: is there any solution to redirect all wap2 url to wap2. url.... some solution...

Hello there, this is a great mod and it works fine, but E-Arcade does not work right.
It goes to forum/arcade but it's not there. Is there a fix for it? I searched this topic but found no solution

Thanks

[[Lucien]]

Ok when i rename the "arcade" folder where game files (gamedata) are stored it works, but then the arcade won't work correct..With scores..

Is there a way to change the name from /forum/arcade to /forum/arcade2 or something like that?

[Adrek]

Don't know if you trying to find out why i had this problem, but i changed server and now i have Apache, MySQL 5.5.10 and PHP 5.3.5 and all seems to be just fine

[[Lucien]]

My server supports them all

Ok when i rename the "arcade" folder where game files (gamedata) are stored it works, but then the arcade won't work correct..With scores..

That is the problem .. have a folder the same structure as the url, SEF don't work.
So the rename of the folder helps.
I dont know arcade, but look at the settings if there a point for the path they you can change ...

I will try to ask help on the smf arcade site if this is possible

thnx!

I found out that most games really need that exact folder location /arcade/gamedata

Is there no other way to make Seo use another location rather then -http://mysite.com/arcade?

[feline]

The problem is, that the action name is equal a path name. (index.php?action=arcade).
Because I don't know this mod, the best way is you call the author if you can change the action name ...

[[Lucien]]

I think that would be a great amount of work because i think i would have to change every single line of code that refers to "index.php?action=arcade"

And that are a lot of lines

It was almost to good to be true. This mod is really great, i think it's much better then pretty urls because it destroyed my forum a few times..
Just wish there was a way

[feline]

Which mod you use? Link to the mod ?

[[Lucien]]

I use E-Arcade , you must be a member there to download files so i attached the file here if you need it
The file is for RC5 but it workt great with emulation mode on SMF 2 Final.

Thank you for your help, i appreciate it

[feline]

There only place where the path is hardcoded is in file ManageArcade.php
I change the path arcade to arcadeGames, this must also do on your server.
The file that I changed is attached. Copy this to the /Sources folder and overwrite existing.
Make a backup of this file before overwrite !!!

Try it ...

[[Lucien]]

Thank you but it is not working, i copied the file to Sources and changed "arcade" to "arcadeGames" on the server but lots of games don't work and when i try to send score to the database i get this error:

Score not saved - ibp score check failed!

[feline]

Well .. in this case I can't give help, so you have to call the author of the mod ...

[[Lucien]]

I will let you know if i succeed Thank you again Feline
