Search engine friendly URL's breaks Extension manager

VanillaHost

I've been trying to figure out why the AJAX doesn't work in the Extension manager to enable/disable extensions. The page being loaded is /settings/?PostBackAction=Extensions. I noticed it's loading (or trying to load) js/ajax.js, etc. however /settings/js doesn't exist. /settings.php?PostBackAction=Extensions works fine. Can anyone confirm that this is happening to them too?

oops...

In .htaccess replace:

# Prevent some little bad effects of Friendly Urls on relative links in some
# extensions
RewriteRule ^(discussions|categories|search|post|settings|people|[0-9]+)/(extensions|themes|images|ajax)/(.*) $2/$3 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(discussions|categories|search|post|settings|people|[0-9]+)/(account.php|categories.php|comments.php|extension.php|index.php|people.php|post.php|search.php|settings.php) $2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^discussion/([0-9]+/){1,2}[^/]*/(extensions|themes|images|ajax)/(.*) $2/$3 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^discussion/([0-9]+/){1,2}[^/]*/(account.php|categories.php|comments.php|extension.php|index.php|people.php|post.php|search.php|settings.php) $2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(discussions|account|search|post|[0-9]+)/.+/(extensions|themes|images|ajax)/(.*) $2/$3 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(discussions|account|search|post|[0-9]+)/.+/(account.php|categories.php|comments.php|extension.php|index.php|people.php|post.php|search.php|settings.php) $2 [QSA,L]

VanillaHost

Excellent. Thanks.

VanillaHost

Another problem - it doesn't seem to work here: http://support.vanillahost.com/discussion/1/testing/ javascript url: http://support.vanillahost.com/discussion/1/testing/js/ajax.js (the "big input" doesn't work, just refreshes). Though it's working on this forum? Hmm...

Dinoboff

I replaced (extensions|themes|images|ajax) by (extensions|themes|images|ajax|js) on line 3 and 7 but forgot on line 5. You need to add "|js" (I just edited my previous post, it should work fine now).

On this forum, the link might be "/community/js/ajax.js" and not "js/ajax.js"

VanillaHost

I'm still having problems with your new rules. Here's my entire .htaccess, copied to htaccess.txt: www.vanillahost.com/vanilla/htaccess.txt

Dinoboff

It must be a problem with the rules line 16.

Changing the order of the rules should solve this problem. Put

RewriteRule ^discussion/([0-9]+/){1,2}[^/]*/(extensions|themes|images|ajax|js)/(.*) $2/$3 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^discussion/([0-9]+/){1,2}[^/]*/(account.php|categories.php|comments.php|extension.php|index.php|people.php|post.php|search.php|settings.php) $2 [QSA,L]

before the line 16.

VanillaHost

Thanks, that works ... Another problem, when signing up it links to the terms (from /people/?PostBackAction=ApplyForm) but it gives a 404 (/people/termsofservice.php).

Dinoboff

There three rules with "(account.php|categories.php|comments.php|extension.php|index.php|people.php|post.php|search.php|settings.php)" you can add "|termsofservice.php"

Dinoboff

.htaccess should look like that:

Edited: should fix problems with the poll extension.
Edited: fix problems with number as a title.

VanillaHost

Thanks.

It seems to be working again...Dinoboff, you are again my head.

spode

Are these posted rules newer than the ones in the Friendly URLs add-on? I'm struggling to get Polls to work.

scubaguy

it fixes one problem with Polls, but you still can't edit a Poll. Spode came up with a solution here http://lussumo.com/community/?CommentID=81287

PlayGod

Would anyone care to offer a fix for the blog extension? http://domain.com/extension/category/1/?PostBackAction=Blog is the URL, but it throws a 404 error with friendly URLs turned on Is anybody still active on this forum? I know I'm not, but I am creating some new forums and hope to use Vanilla as it's the easiest to set up, the most secure (or maybe that's due to it being OBscure), and the friendliest to learn. I've just started trying to use friendly URLs as the latest forum is intended for mass public audience, so it needs to be SEF.

spode

PlayGod - not the answer you're looking for, but BlogThis works with Friendly URLs fine. I vaguely recall I adjusted the rewrite rules to work - the same rules may well work with Blog.

WallPhone

There appears to be extra stuff in the URL--

Just a guess, but what happens when you take it out, like this: http://domain.com/extension/?PostBackAction=Blog

After editing my forum's .htaccess per this extension's readme I can't access my forum. All I get is a white web page. no matter if I go to
../foro
../foro/
../foro/index.php
../foro/index.php/

Any ideas how to go back to an original working .htaccess for the forum's root folder?
What are the default Vanilla 1 .htaccess files?

Dinoboff

By default, there is no .htaccess
