News, Channel List, SiteMaps questions..

Postby user751139 » Sat Jan 08, 2011 4:33 pm

Everything is working great, except i have a few questions

On my forum on the footer I've got the News Site map SitemapIndex RSS Feed Channel list

but the links just point to an empty directory on my site.. do i have to put some sort of files in them to work? (sitemapindex & RSS feed is the only working link)

eg:

Channel list points to mysite.com/rss/news/ <-- empty directory
news points to mysite.com/news <-- empty directory
sitemaps points to mysite.com/maps <-- again empty directory (what kind of files should i place in them?)

Image

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks



If it helps at all here's my .htaccess

Code: Select all
# Lines That should already be in your .htacess
<Files "config.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
<Files "common.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>

# You may need to un-comment the following lines
# Options +FollowSymlinks
# To make sure that rewritten dir or file (/|.html) will not load dir.php in case it exist
# Options -MultiViews
# REMEBER YOU ONLY NEED TO STARD MOD REWRITE ONCE
RewriteEngine On
# Uncomment the statement below if you want to make use of
# HTTP authentication and it does not already work.
# This could be required if you are for example using PHP via Apache CGI.
# RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
# REWRITE BASE
RewriteBase /
# HERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO FORCE CANONICAL DOMAIN
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\."mysite"\.org$ [NC]
# RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www."mysite".org/$1 [QSA,L,R=301]

# DO NOT GO FURTHER IF THE REQUESTED FILE / DIR DOES EXISTS
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . - [L]

rss/news/
rss/news/rss.xml

It all virtual with url rewriting, but as long as you see the proper page when following the link, then, everything works !

Thanks; I'm not quite sure how I can get It all virtual with url rewriting; Can you point me into the right direction?

as my folders pointed to are empty.

Actually, for this to work, you must not have rss/ and rss/news physical directories. It's url rewriting, these are indeed all addressed to rss.php which will generate the proper content.
Of course, for these to work, you need to implement the required .htaccess as explained in install. If mod_rewrite is not available, you can just turn off URL rewriting for GYM.

What happens if you follow these links on your board ?
