Wierd bug; can't create threads with just numbers/characters?

blizeH

As you can see from the two '24' threads on this forum (1, 2) - really not sure what exactly is going on, but you can't see any of the content or even the ability to edit the thread/posts which is kinda weird. Just created a tester on this forum too and it seems to be working just fine here, yet not on my forum? Any idea what's up please chaps? It's not a huge issue but it'd be nice to have it fixed I guess, cheers! :-)

That's cause it's looking for the 24th page of the discussion, I think. How to fix it? hmm...

Stash

It's a Friendly URLs thing?

WallPhone

I think there were sevral threads about someting similar... Edit: http://lussumo.com/community/discussion/3948/1321/#Item_2

Are you using the Friendly URL's .htaccess file? From the mod I mean.

If so then delete that and download vanilla again and use the one that comes with that.

Mini: Maybe it's ideal to repackage the Friendly urls addon with the new htaccess file so this doesn't keep happening.

Stash

Does the FriendlyURLs extension even need a .htaccess file in it? Surely just a Readme.txt with the instructions in it would do the trick since the .htaccess is distributed with the core now?

Minisweeper

If it's intentionally, and not accidentally, distributed with the core then really all it needs is a one liner on the app settings page which says 'Url building method:' <dropdown selector box> I've dropped Mark an email to get his views on the matter...

u2wedge

any reason why you're using '24'? (fingers crossed that there's a new 24 themed Vanilla forum to visit...) :-)

Minisweeper

There was a discussion on his general-purpose forum discussing the crappy tv series :P

You can read the threads like this btw

Recap

with this rule:
RewriteRule ^discussion/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/(.*/)$ comments.php?DiscussionID=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L]

"http://www.glosunit.co.uk/discussion/2658/24/#Item_6"
is translated into "http://www.glosunit.co.uk/comments.php?DiscussionID=2658&page=24#Item_6"
when you were expecting "http://www.glosunit.co.uk/comments.php?DiscussionID=2658 #Item_6"

You just need to replace "(.*)" by "(.+)" in these 2 rules:RewriteRule ^discussion/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/(.*)$ comments.php?DiscussionID=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^discussion/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/(.*)/$ comments.php?DiscussionID=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L]
Your .htaccess should look like this one.

Awesome, cheers for the links ADM, and cheers to Dinoboff for the solution
