Great update! (quite fast too )...

Though I was able to successfully (90%) updated to Premod 3.0. Just that when I browse through the "group" rewritten URL, I receive the following message:

The requested usergroup does not exist.

Here is 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 line
    # Options +FollowSymlinks
    # REMEBER YOU ONLY NEED TO STARD MOD REWRITE ONCE
    RewriteEngine On
    # REWRITE BASE
    RewriteBase /beta/
    # HERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO ADD THE WWW PREFIXE REDIRECTION

Everything (in at least, so far) works except for the group URL. Your continuous support is much appreciated.

PS: Please topic split if this query does not belong to this thread. Thank you.

It looks like you modified your extensions.
Unfortunately, .php is the one not to be supported, and groups extension cannot be empty.

Please try with .html or .htm or whatever but not .php and not empty.

A link to your forum could help.

Very well then, I've changed back the extensions to .html. But I'm still getting the same response:

The requested usergroup does not exist.

Below is my new .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 line

Forum URL: http://www.ncismanga.net/beta

Thank you.

Well, I still see .phps and the group urls are not rewritten, looks like you are still using last version online.

Anyway, about the group rewriterule, this rewriterule looks like still generated with the group extension set to nothing.

Please generate a new one after you have updated it :

Code: Select all

      $this->seo_ext = array( 'forum' => '.html', 'topic' => '.html', 'post' => '.html', 'user' => '.html', 'usermsg' => '.html', 'group' => '.html',  'index' => '', 'global_announce' => '/', 'leaders' => '.html', 'pagination' => '.html', 'gz_ext' => '');

Can be a slash or anything you like, but not .php and not nothing.

Very nice! Group link is now working. Thank you for the lightning response. Awesome!

I'm sorry, I just have an inquiry regarding the group URL rewrite.

Is there any way to make the group URL format looking like this:

http://www.$root/group/groupname

Where there is a virtual folder 'group' and groupname does not have any delimiter (-gxx)?
