Smileys & Attachments option not showing - Really could use a bit of help please

Sorry am not sure if I understood your first question. Equivalent content type? It looks like a link to a specific post/reply under a topic (as opposed to just being a link to a topic). Is that what you meant?

.htaccess file contents are:

Code Select Expand

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
Redirect /index.htm /forum.thehunterslife.com/

# SMF rewrites for vBulletin after vBSEO removed (including forum directory)
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^t=([0-9]+)&page=[0-9]+&p=([0-9]+)#[0-9]+(.*)?/?$ [OR]

Re the error referring to line 55 of that file on server (init.php). Lines 54 and 55 read as follows:

Code Select Expand

// initialize the data registry
$vbulletin =& new vB_Registry();

thanks for trying to help, really annoying this as people often use these links to specific posts to get related content on complex topics, so they are darn useful!

OK - I've worked out that you need to add another rule to your .htaccess file:

Find:

Code Select Expand

# SMF rewrites for vBulletin after vBSEO removed (including forum directory)Add After:

Code Select Expand

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=([0-9]+)(.*)?/?$
RewriteRule ^(forums)?/?showthread.php$ https://forum.thehunterslife.com/index.php?msg=%1 [L,R=301]

Re the error referring to line 55 of that file on server (init.php). Lines 54 and 55 read as follows:

This indicates to me that you still have the vBulletin forum software installed and running and in situations like this it only creates confusion.  To ensure that SMF is the only active forum software I'd suggest that you either take a backup of the vBulletin  'forums' directory/folder and then delete it, or rename it to something else (eg, 'vb.forums').

Thank you.

I did as you said, I deleted the old "forums" subfolder which I had forgotten was sat on the server taking up space (1.4GB!) and I added those two lines of code into the .htaccess file.

That second example link which wasnt working is now working so I am hoping that's solved it. I will have a check around for any others but fingers crossed it's sorted.

One point I maybe should have mentioned (maybe not relevant if your instructions above fixed it) is that the new forum is at forums.domain.com, yet the .htaccess file is in the public_html folder (which in my mind is not in the right place to impact on the files in the forums.domain.com folder. But I am probably talking trash as it seems to work so far!
Thanks again. I will make as solved and re-open if I notice any more problems.

Great - you've got some more disk space and hopefully solved the last redirection issue.

That second example link which wasnt working is now working so I am hoping that's solved it. I will have a check around for any others but fingers crossed it's sorted.

I actually checked the forum I migrated from vBulletin a few years ago and even though I couldn't find any links like the one you had that wasn't working I was able to work out the extra rule you needed.

That said, I did find a few links that weren't redirecting correctly and I had to change one of the existing rules - for your site you need to change the following:
From:

Code Select Expand

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^t=([0-9]+)&page=[0-9]+&p=([0-9]+)#[0-9]+(.*)?/?$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^t=([0-9]+)&page=[0-9]+&p=([0-9]+)(.*)?/?$
RewriteRule ^(forums)?/?showthread.php$ https://forum.thehunterslife.com/index.php?topic=%1.msg%2#msg%2 [NE,L,R=301]To:

Code Select Expand

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^t=([0-9]+)&page=[0-9]+&p=([0-9]+)#[0-9]+(.*)?/?$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^t=([0-9]+)&page=[0-9]+&p=([0-9]+)(.*)?/?$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^t=([0-9]+)&p=([0-9]+)(.*)?/?$
RewriteRule ^(forums)?/?showthread.php$ https://forum.thehunterslife.com/index.php?topic=%1.msg%2#msg%2 [NE,L,R=301]

This is where this .htacecss file is on my migrated forum and it has always worked so I figure it's in the right location for my situation. If you want you could move it to sub-domain folder/directory and see if it still works there ...

Thanks again. I will make as solved and re-open if I notice any more problems.

You're welcome ...

Thanks, you're a diamond. I've made that adjustment too and those two links are still working so hopefully all will be well. Will post back if any further problems are spotted. Extremely grateful for the help here.
