The solution for Short (SEO Friendly) URL's

Droplet says invalid php code  I'm using WB 2.8.3 latest version with this droplet code

Code: [Select]

global $wb;
$wb->preprocess( $wb_page_data);
$linkstart = WB_URL.PAGES_DIRECTORY;
$linkend = PAGE_EXTENSION;
$nwlinkstart = WB_URL;
$nwlinkend = \'/\';

preg_match_all(\'~\'.$linkstart.\'(.*?)\\\\\'.$linkend.\'~\', $wb_page_data, $links);
foreach ($links[1] as $link) {
    $wb_page_data = str_replace($linkstart.$link.$linkend, $nwlinkstart.$link.$nwlinkend, $wb_page_data);
}
return true;

[badknight]

there are many erros

(e.g "nwlinkend, preg_match_all,..) look at the php - Info  is there magic_quotes_gpc on? (http://php.net/manual/en/security.magicquotes.php)

[N1kko]

Thanks badknight,

Yes magic quotes are on on my host, is there a way to fix the short url droplet? I'm no php expert at all 

[N1kko]

Is this error with server or caused by WB Revision 1960?

[N1kko]

Magic quotes now off, but droplet still says php errors

[DarkViper]

i work on it...

First please disengage magic_quotes, because newer code does not care for.

Code: [Select]

<?php // for syntax highlighting only!

$sSearchPattern = '/' . preg_quote(WB_URL . PAGES_DIRECTORY, '/') . '(.*?)'
                . preg_quote(PAGE_EXTENSION, '/') . '/';
if(preg_match_all($sSearchPattern, $wb_page_data, $aMatches))
{
foreach($aMatches[1] as $sLink)
{
$wb_page_data = str_replace(WB_URL . PAGES_DIRECTORY . $sLink . PAGE_EXTENSION,
                            WB_URL . $sLink . '/',
                            $wb_page_data
                           );
}
}
return '';


Sorry for delay... 
But today I had to go out and enjoy the afternoon sun.

Thanks for this, I have added the new droplet code but still getting error and short urls not working 

[daydreamer]

How do I get it to work with a subdomain please?

[Ruud]

How do I get it to work with a subdomain please?

It should work fine on subdomains.
What is not working in your case?

[daydreamer]

Hi Rudd,

I have attached an image to show the error

[daydreamer]

Now working with this

RewriteRule ^([\/\sa-zA-Z0-9._-]+)$ /baker/short.php?_wb=$1 [QSA,L]

Thanks
Rudd

[daydreamer]

Bakery add to cary and view cart not working unless I remove mod rewrite from htaccess 

[jacobi22]

you can use the module simplepagehead - it works with bakery

Download here -> http://www.websitebakers.com/pages/modules/various/simple-page-head.php

forget it ...  & sorry

[daydreamer]

I'm using simple pagehead already Thanks 

[jacobi22]

i read another thread in a second window - my answer was correct, but in the wrong thread  

but for your problem.....
i use on my page the old btw first version from the short-url-script
i add a field in the database-table "pages", called seo_url
then i change the seo_tool from Stefek, so that i can change the entry for this field.
for every page i add this seo_link-name in the database
in the frontend i have links like www.myDomain/home - without a file-typ at the end
then i change the ShortUrl-Droplet to read-out this field seo_link (and not link)

forget a little...
you have to change the select in the short.php too

i dont test it in bakery, but it works in news - if you have no seo_link (like news-postings oder bakery-pages, the script use the normal link

maybe, thats a solution for you too

Is it possible to translate URL's from other droplets to short url's?

[Ruud]

Is it possible to translate URL's from other droplets to short url's?

It is not possible to controll the order of the droplets being executed, so you cannot make sure the shorturl droplet is executed last. That is the reason why some droplet-generated-links will be translated and some not.

The trick is:

Create a droplet that just generates your shorturl droplet as output.
The droplet engine (in WB 2.8.3) will process all found droplets. When it's finished it will check again if new droplets are found.
So, steps to follow:

1. create the normal [[shorturl]] droplet first.
2. create a droplet called [[shorturlloader]] with the content:

Code: [Select]

return '[[shorturl]]';3. put [[shorturlloader]] in your template (remove [[shorturl]] if it was already there).

That does it for me.

Note that the "other droplets" will need to output full url's (including the domain), otherwise they will not be detected as internals.

Hi,

I have the latest version of Bakery 1.7.0 and the latest version of WebsiteBaker Shorturls Version 3.0. Everything works fine until the user clicks the submit button to check out after adding the product to their cart. It doesn't allow them to put their address, but simply takes them back to the store (Bakery). Any suggestions? Thank you.

[Ruud]

Looking at the site you sent by mail, it seems to me you are not including the shorturl droplet in your template.

Not related to this prblem, your website has javascript (and CSS loading) errors that will make Bakery not function correctly.
An extra tip: Your homepage is loading about 16Mb on images, making the time to load for me something like 20 seconds.

[noolexy]

Hi Ruud,

Thanks for getting back to me 

I will resize my images. I think I fixed the css and js problems.

When I add the droplet to my template, it comes back blank.

This is what I am using:

Code: [Select]

//:create short url's
//:
//Shorturl - remove pages/php from links
global $wb;
$wb->preprocess($wb_page_data);
$linkstart = WB_URL.PAGES_DIRECTORY;
$linkend = PAGE_EXTENSION;
$nwlinkstart = WB_URL;
$nwlinkend = '/';

preg_match_all('~'.$linkstart.'(.*?)\\'.$linkend.'~', $wb_page_data, $links);
foreach ($links[1] as $link) {
    $wb_page_data = str_replace($linkstart.$link.$linkend, $nwlinkstart.$link.$nwlinkend, $wb_page_data);
}
return true;

Thanks for your help.

[Ruud]

Without the droplet shorturl will not function!
Try switching on the error reporting (advanced settings page) and see if an error is shown.

Note that the droplet should be somewhere in the HTML part of the template.
For example just after the </html>

[noolexy]

Thank you! It worked.

I was putting it in the php coding part, I guess that's why it didn't work. Thank you again for your assistance

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?

Normally i deactiviate the .htaccess on local systems. It's easier as comment out some things like rewrite non-www to www.
This is the reason why i never tested shorturl local.
Today, in a test with shorturl3 and wb283 i can see only (except startpage and searchpage):
Not Found
The requested URL /short.php was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.10 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.1h PHP/5.4.31 Server at localhost Port 4001

What can be the reason?
