ShortLinks not working

Guardian2003 · Posted: Mon Mar 12, 2007 2:02 am

Make sure you have done the following;
In nukeroot/rnconfig.php change

Code:

$tnsl_bUseShortLinks = FALSE;
$tnsl_bAutoTapBlocks = FALSE;

to

Code:

$tnsl_bUseShortLinks = TRUE;
$tnsl_bAutoTapBlocks = TRUE;

Make sure you have copied the code in Shortlinks.htaccess file to your main htaccess file

[Edited by montego: I just corrected the .htaccess reference a bit]

Thanks! Yes, especially that last one gets folks more than 9 times out of 10. Smile

mod_rewrite could be a reason, too Wink

Good point Misha. Raven worked with me long back on how to test that mod_rewrite was in fact working properly. Check out this thread here:

There were other tools provided by the GoogleTap/GTNG author to test mod_rewrite, but I found them to not work properly on my set up. So, the above approach should work every time with every set up.

There are several different approaches mentioned in the thread, so be sure to read it in its entirety.

Having a little issue with Shortlinks
I get this at the top left of every page

Code:

[nextGenFunction] = Present In Header
[nextGenName] = News (Main Module)
[nextGenPath] = GT File :: ShortLinks/GT-News.php :: Does Exist
[nextGenPath] = Using GT File :: ShortLinks/GT-News.php
[nextGenPath] = Using GT File :: ShortLinks/GTZ-PageTap.php
[nextGenPath] = GT File :: ShortLinks/GTZ-PageTap.php :: Does Exist

adn this above every block:

Code:

[nextGenFunction] = Present In Block
[nextGenPath] = GTB File Does Not Exist

EDIT!!!

Sorry, I figured it out. I had the debug statement set to TRUE. Sorry all!

Nope, this is good. Now everyone who sees this will know and not have the same issue. Thanks!

In addition, if you still get 404 errors, check to make sure you have the following line in your .htaccess file above all the rewrite statements:

RewriteEngine on

If you still get 404 errors, you must find out if your host has mod_rewrite active. The following thread will help you with that:

r1_dave, thank you for this. I have never seen this needed (until now) at the root level, but this is also useful if one has troubles with subdomains. The "/" may be replaced with any path from the web root.

Well this had me puzzled! The only thing in the shortlinks htaccess was deny from all!!?? How could this fix anything? Problem was I looked in my nukeroot/shortlinks/.htaccess file. Logical eh? Gotta look in nukeroot/ShortLinks.htaccess. That's where the treasure trove of rewrites lies.

Ok... I fixed "G"s original post just a bit... Wink

I'm back.

I'm starting a new install of Raven Nuke today.
I have followed this topic because I am having a problem with Shortlinks. All pages generate 404 errors.
I have all the shortlink.htaccess info in my main .htacces file. I also added
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
Above all Rewrite rules.

I checked my server that is running PHP5 and Apache and mod-rewrite is enabled.

Any other ideas?

EDIT:
FIXED!
I added
RewriteBase /nuke
to my .htaccess since my nuke site does not run in my servers web root but runs in a subdirectory named nuke. Hope this helps others.

My shortlinks are not auto rewriting in the address bar. But, when I type the shortlink in the bar my pages show up fine.

I have all rewrites from the sample pasted in my .htacces file and all settings in the RNconfig file set to true that need to be.

Guardian2003 · Posted: Mon Oct 26, 2009 11:14 am

Re upload your rnconfig.php file again after making sure the settings are set to true.
The fact that if you type a shortened url in the browser bars suggests the htaccess file is ok and that your server has mod_rewrite turned on so thats the only thing I can think of.

montego · Posted: Mon Oct 26, 2009 9:20 pm

Also, make sure you uploaded the ShortLinks directory...

It has something to do with my autothemes theme. When I test with a regular nuke theme, the short links work fine. I found this info at Autotheme's website.

Quote:

OK, I have a fix for the links. Let me know if it helps the other problems.

Comment out: 'modules/AutoTheme/includes/atExtended' line 81

change:
return die();

to:
//return die();

When I do this edit, it does allow the short links to work. But if I go to save a new block setup to the site, my browser errors out. Take the edit out; my blocks save fine.

Any ideas?

rickleigh, I don't use Autotheme so even though I am the developer for ShortLinks, I think it will be best for you to ask them directly. The bottom line is that the hooks within header.php and footer.php for ShortLinks have to process unabated and it looks like they may be overriding those? Not sure.

I have tried to contact them, but with no luck of a response Sad

Is Autothemes DEAD? I can't seem to get a reply on my issues on their site Mad
