Problem visiting topics with an 'F' in them

Yoni · by **Yoni** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 9:06 am

I've got a problem with the phpBB SEO mod on my forum.

Soemtimes, forums or topics starting with an 'F/f' or have an 'F/f' in them give me the following error;

The forum you selected does not exist.

This topic for example;
http://www.prisonbreak.nl/forum/viewfor ... f=oto-t779

The topics title is; 'Post hier je eigen foto' but it writes 'oto' only. It doesn't seem to rewrite the URL correctly?

Weird thing is, the mod rewrites these other topic URLs but they also contain an 'f';
http://www.prisonbreak.nl/forum/spellet ... -1880.html
http://www.prisonbreak.nl/forum/ff-voor ... t1164.html

Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

Following -http://www.prisonbreak.nl/forum/viewforum.php?f=oto-t779 does not, and by the way is not supposed to, work.

Where does this link comes from ?

I'm not sure either to fully get the f thing, since your two other examples are working as expected.
Actually, it should not be possible to mess with delimiters, because the RegEx matches the delimiters, the id and the suffixes : -fxx.html.
So you'd need to add at least -fxx.html in your totpic title to mess up, but since dots will be replaced with hyphens while injecting, it's just not possible.

Thanks for welcoming me.

The link comes from this page;
http://www.prisonbreak.nl/forum/viewforum.php?f=19

Hold your mouse on the stickied topic, the url displays correct there.

Once clicking it it somehow opens the page;
http://www.prisonbreak.nl/forum/viewfor ... f=oto-t779

Since the link displayed is correct : -http://www.prisonbreak.nl/forum/post-hier-je-eigen-foto-t779.html

I assume this can come from two places :

The .htaccess could be the guilty one, so please post it here.

Then, this odd url could as well be the result of a call to the phpBB redirect function, since the header returned is a 302 redirection on the good link. Could be because of a mod or mistake upon install dealing with auth.

Could you please translate the message you get :

Het onderwerp dat je gekozen hebt, bestaat niet.

As well, the last touch would be appreciated

Where does this one came from :

Code: Select all: # FORUM RewriteRule ^forum/(.*)-f(.*).html$ http://www.prisonbreak.nl/forum/viewforum.php?f=$2 [QSA,L]

?

Just delete it and it should be all right.

I have no idea where that came from :O

Thanks for the help though, it now links directly to http://www.prisonbreak.nl/forum/post-hi ... -t779.html

Thanks alot!

Sometime the way of code is impenetrable

Great to see this one solved anyway.
