i've successfully installed the mod (adv url, zero dupe, no dupe, and gyms).

at first i thought it was 100% success, and with my administrator account i can access everywhere perfectly!.

but then after i uploaded in the real web,

my members start complaining that they cant read the global announce.

it gave them this error msg "You are not authorised to read this forum."

and the address will be schoolclub/announces/some-topic-match-2008-2009-sports-school-t4070.html

pls help me.

thanks

Yes, this is an edge case.
We've talked about that here : http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/phpbb-s ... t2950.html

Basically, you need your lowest postable forum id to be public for the announces to work.
This is because the global announcements do not have a forum id (0), in the regular process, phpBB3 will just assign them the forum_id where they are viewed, which you must have the right to read, and when there is none, the lowest postable forum id is assigned and auth are later based on that.

If you are using virtual folder, there is a fast workaround, you can add :

Code: Select all

      if (empty($forum_id) && strpos($this->seo_path['uri'], $this->seo_static['global_announce'] . '/' ) !== false) {
         $forum_id = XX;
      }

after :

Code: Select all

      if ($id = @array_search($forum_uri, $this->cache_config['forum']) ) {
         $forum_id = (int) $id;
      }

in phpbb_seo/phpbb_seo_class.php.

And set XX to a public forum id, should work

Can't find this code and i have the same problem

It's been a while since we circumvented this issue, eg allow everybody to view global annoucements.
What problem are you facing precisely ?

My announcement gets placed in forum which is for admins only. I read a lot about this issue and found this edit above but can't find the specific code:

Code: Select all

          if ($id = @array_search($forum_uri, $this->cache_config['forum']) ) {
             $forum_id = (int) $id;
          }

Anyone? How can i fix this issue?

Note that this trick will only work if you are using the virtual folder option.

Then, with the current version, you could add :

Code: Select all

      if (empty($forum_id) && strpos($this->seo_path['uri'], $this->seo_static['global_announce'] . '/' ) !== false) {
         $forum_id = XX;
      }

After :

Code: Select all

      if ($id = @array_search($forum_uri, $this->cache_config['forum']) ) {
         $forum_id = max(0, (int) $id);
      } elseif ( $id = $this->get_url_info('forum', $forum_uri, 'id')) {
         $forum_id = max(0, (int) $id);
      }

If you are not using the virtual folder option, there so far no fix for that, but it's only the breadcrumb, so, it's not a critical one.

It's not working. I tried this many times with virtual folders enabled with no luck at all. Allways puts the announcements in forum with lowest id.

Is there a way to change the forum id in the database. I tried but then it wont show the forum.

Made all as offered here, but nothing has helped
The version of a forum 3.0.8 and mod V 0.6.6

I have this problem. Mode simple
