The solution for Short (SEO Friendly) URL's

[dana]

I've found that when I'm using the ShortURL ([[ShortURL]] in my template) and want to register, after successful registration I get a blank page. The registration details are sent, the user is in the database. Can it be fixed please? I'd like short URLs of the pages (don't care much about the account folders, etc.) but I also need user registration and blank page is kinda unacceptable.

Thank you!

A blank page is usually pointing to some other error.

I just tested with the current shorturl version 2.3 and it is working fine for me.

Try switching on the error_reporting and see if any error is shown.

[dana]

Ok, I will try that. Just wanted to say that I'm using a fresh install, newest ShortURL and when I deleted the [[ShortURL]] from my template, all went smoothly with no blank page.

Okay, switched to report all errors and got this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method wb::preprocess() in /home/www/studynet.cz/modules/droplets/droplets.php(37) : eval()'d code on line 3

@Dana: The link in your signature is broken. Missing :

[dana]

Thanks, though this is not the site that's giving me problems.

[Ruud]

In the droplet it shows on line 3:

Code: [Select]

$wb->preprocess($wb_page_data); //process internal links first (WB283 problem)
change that into:

Code: [Select]

if(is_object($wb)) $wb->preprocess($wb_page_data); //process internal links first (WB283 problem)

[dana]

Hmm, that doesn't seem to be working.  It says the same thing.

[Ruud]

Another option:

Code: [Select]

if(method_exists($wb,'preprocess')) $wb->preprocess($wb_page_data); //process internal links first (WB283 problem)

[dana]

That seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much!

Is there any plans to add support for other modules such as bakery?

[Ruud]

Yes,

I am currently testing with V3.
It will also work with bakery and topics pages,

[N1kko]

Great looking forward to V3

[N1kko]

Any update on V3?

[Ruud]

Just put v3 on http://short.dev4me.nl/download/

Nothing is changed in howto use it for new websites.
If you already are using a previous version the droplet/htaccess/short.php all need to be replaced.

Great work Rudd think this should be hard coded into WB

Having an issue with bakery. When you get to submit order and submit it takes me back to previous page and not through to fill out address. I can see [[shorturl]] at the top of the page which I then realised shorturl was causing the error.

I removed the short urls and it worked fine so not really sure what the problem is.

Should be solved in Bakery 1.6.
Your version is?

[daydreamer]

I am using the latest bakery version.

The continue url in the form is showing as http://domain.com/pages/bakery.php and not http://domian.com/bakery

If I change {SETTING_CONTINUE_URL} in the form to http://domian.com/bakery it works although the [[shorturl]] still shows on the template at the top.

although the [[shorturl]] still shows on the template at the top.

Droplets need the Code register_frontend_modfiles('js') in the head of your Template-index.php
here a sample, which include frotend.css and frontend.js, but not jquery files

Code: [Select]

<?php
        // automatically include optional WB module files (frontend.css, frontend.js)
        register_frontend_modfiles('css');
        // register_frontend_modfiles('jquery');
        register_frontend_modfiles('js');
?>

in my own page i use the older version of the short-url-script and it works without problem
in a new local wb 2.8.4 project i test the shorturl 3.0 and i have only 404-Errors
the rewrite works in the links and in the adress line from the browser.
Whats the problem here?

in the short.php

you can try to debug the problem:
try to commend out the include /chdir and make a simple echo $fullpag;
now you can see the PATH - is there a Error or is it correct?

[daydreamer]

How can I add a 404 error page as it just redirect back to main url

[Ruud]

How can I add a 404 error page as it just redirect back to main url

Have a look in short.php and find lhe line:

Code: [Select]

define('ERROR_PAGE' , '/'); //Change this to point to your existing 404 page.Change the '/' with the (short) name of your 404 page.

Example:

Code: [Select]

define('ERROR_PAGE' , '/my404page'); //Change this to point to your existing 404 page.
