Hi, i`m using phpBB 3.0.2 SEO Premod

I`m using the advance mode, everything seems to work ok except some urls from the index page issues:

1. the View your posts link form the index page takes me to
-http://forum.com/member//posts/?search_id=egosearch

and gives me the message: The requested user does not exist.

2. the Advanced search link takes me to
-http://forum.com/member//posts/

and gives me the message: The requested user does not exist.

3. the View unanswered posts link takes me to
-http://forum.com/member//posts/?search_id=unanswered

and gives me the message: The requested user does not exist.

here is my htaccess code:

Code: Select all

<Files "config.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
<Files "common.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>

It does not seem to be related to your .htaccess.

I don't know exactly what could cause the links to be broken like this, but your example urls misses the user info. I could not reproduce the bug.

-http://forum.com/member//posts/ should be -http://forum.com/member/nickname/posts/

Could you post here the url of the link you see for a profile on index ?

Have you installed any additional mods ?

The links to users profile from index are ok but from inside the forums the
users profile are ok only mine is like this: /member//

I`ve sent you a PM with the adress of my forum and the login!

I have 10-15 mods installed:

Flags Mod
Activity Stats
Prime Trash Bin
AJAX Registration Checks
Mood
LastRss Agregator
phpBB Arcade
Topic Tags Mod
IP Country Flag Olympus
Solved Topics

...i might forgot some

Thank You!

mm, I assume one of this mod altered the profile links then.

Won't be this easy to investigate, the best would be if you could set up a local test board to work on this one without messing the online one.

A quick test you could make would be to deactivate url rewriting for a second and then post here the url of a profile that does not work in it's non rewritten state. Could help to understand.

Hi,

I have similar issue. I have a vanilla installation of pbpBB 3.0.2 and SEO advanced mod applied with GYM. I use URL rewriting.

When I click a user, http://www.sapgeeksquad.com/forum/member2.html

but I get message The requested user does not exist.

But If I see the address bar at this time, I see the URL,

http://www.sapgeeksquad.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile

The additional parameter &u=xxx seems missing

Thanks
YB

In your case, it looks like you need to generate a new .htaccess, because you probably did some set up about user's urls after you first did.

Hi dcz,

My .htaccess file has entry for members,

# PROFILES SIMPLE
RewriteRule ^forum/member([0-9]+)\.html$ /forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=$1 [QSA,L,NC]

Is there anything missing in this ? or you need some more information ?

Thanks
YB

It's the correct rewriterule, I don't know how this one only could fail, have you installed any mod ?

If you installed the standalone version of our mod, you may did something wrong upon install, please make sure about this.

++

Hi dcz,

I have installed below mods,

1. SEO Advanced Rewrite 0.4.4
2. GYM Sitemap v2.0.B3
3. SEO Zero Dup v0.4.4 and now
4. Dynamic META Tag v0.2.4

Nothing else

Thanks
YB

The rewriterule actually works since -http://www.sapgeeksquad.com/forum/member2.html is not a 404.

So if you installed the mods by hand, please make sure you did it well, especially for the zero duplicate mod.

++

I have used the premod files.

Well, after I created a test account, I get :

Code: Select all

You are not authorised to view the member list or profiles.

I could not reproduce the bug on a test forum either.

Maybe you could grant Testseo (my test account) with enough rights to see profiles so I can check.

++

Hi dcz,

I have assigned post viewing rights to your Testseo account.

Please let me know if there any problem

Thanks
YB

Ok, so it could be normal if your .htaccess is not consistent with your settings, try to generate a new one without changing your settings.

From where ? PHPBB SEO module in the ACP ?
