Trying to change some link URLs..

nickn · Post by **nickn** » Wed Mar 17, 2004 5:30 am

Hi!

Firstly, thanks for the awesome software...I love it...I've been modifying it to be search engine friendly, I've rewrote all the URLs so far (www.cPanelFAQ.org if you're interested) however there's one part I can't seem to find.

On the article pages, where is the functions/code that defines where those links go? I've looked everywhere I would commonly think to look, and can't find them

Please help

Hi,

which links do you mean?

Do you use mod_rewrite?

Hi Thorsten,

Again, thanks for the great script.

Yes, I'm using mod rewrite, I could provide the rules if it would help others. It's much better for making the FAQ friendly to SEOs. I still had to change all the URLs in the code though, but it wasn't very big change (since the variables were already there)

Anyhow, if you go to any of my articles...
http://www.cpanelfaq.org/006/42.html

The "Printer Friendly" , "PDF", "XML" and "Send to a friend" links do not work. This wouldn't be a problem to fix, but I can't find the functions for these anywhere.

Also the "Content Overview" and "Comment" functions aren't working either.

Basically all 6 URLs on each of the links do not work.

I'll grab the mod_rewrite rules I'm using as an example for everyone, it would be a great option

These are the rules I'm using right now, definitely not the most efficient way of doing it, but without recoding a lot, it works well..i'm not really worried about CPU usage...and that's the only downside

RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog "/home/cpfaq/public_html/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 2
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ^/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)\.html
/index.php?aktion=artikel&rubrik=$1&id=$2&lang=en [L]
RewriteRule ^/[Ss][Ii][Tt][Ee][Mm][Aa][Pp]([0-9]+)\.html$
/index.php?aktion=sitemap$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/[Ss][Ii][Tt][Ee][Mm][Aa][Pp]\.html$ /index.php?aktion=sitemap
[L]
RewriteRule ^/([0-3][0-3][0-9])/[Ii][Nn][Dd][Ee][Xx]\.html
http://www.cpanelfaq.org/index.php?akti ... &rubrik=$1 [L]
ReWriteRule ^/[Ss][Hh][Oo][Ww][Cc][Aa][Tt]\.html$ /index.php?aktion=anzeigen
[L]
ReWriteRule ^/[Ss][Ee][Aa][Rr][Cc][Hh]\.html$ /index.php?aktion=search [L]
ReWriteRule ^/[Aa][Dd][Dd][Cc][Oo][Nn][Tt][Ee][Nn][Tt]\.html$
/index.php?aktion=add [L]
ReWriteRule ^/[Aa][Ss][Kk]\.html$ /index.php?aktion=ask [L]
ReWriteRule ^/[Oo][Pp][Ee][Nn]\.html$ /index.php?aktion=open [L]
ReWriteRule ^/[Hh][Ee][Ll][Pp]\.html$ /index.php?aktion=hilfe [L]
ReWriteRule ^/[Cc][Oo][Nn][Tt][Aa][Cc][Tt]\.html$ /index.php?aktion=kontakt
[L]

Hi,

we should set the mod_rewrite rules step by step.

For printing:

The script wants the following:

printing.php?id=<record id>&lang=<language>

more in the next days, I'm very busy...

that would be great, I'll think of an integration of mod_rewrite into phpMyFAQ itself.

I can't seem to use mod_rewrite to change those links correctly...where can I change them in the code? which file are they in?

Post by **Thorsten** » Sun Mar 21, 2004 10:39 am

Hi,

these links are in artikel.php.

Thorsten

Maybe I"m not seeing it, I see the functions in artikel.php to create the links (i'm looking for the code that creates the actual HTML link to the comments page, etc)

Post by **Thorsten** » Thu Mar 25, 2004 7:37 am

Hi,

sorry for misunderstanding.

The comments are written in the file writecomment.php, the PDFs are generated in pdf.php, the XML file in xml.php and the Send2Friend function is located in the file send2friend.php

Thanks Thorsten,

Again, great software I love it

One more question/feature request..

Can we have a way to see all new comments? or all comments total? Maybe just a link in the admin panel to click to see comments placed with a link to where they were placed, so we can delete any that need (i've already found people are using them to spam, and they don't seem t obe easy to find..) I know I had 2 new comments last night but haven't found them yet

Hi Nick,

you can see where the comments are then you're browsing through the article list in the admin section.

A complete list isn't availible in 1.3.x, maybe in 1.4

Hey nick...

Great script for the re-write...

I fired it into htaccess and uploaded it, but I'm getting an Internal Server Error... Did you encounter this?
Any ideas ?
