YALD - Install

htaccess not working SOLVED (1 reply)

Smooth install, but when I tried to make the SEO Friendly URL's work, no dice (GoDaddy Hosting on *NIX server).... and you said you didn't like your .htaccess file anyway.. so I took matters into my own hands.

Instructions for installing into a folder: /yald/

==========================================================
1. Install YALD (this guide assumes you installed in the folder /yald/ and you want the directory to come up when you go to that folder.)

2. Rename directory.php to index.php
2a. Open your yald\inc\config.php file and add the following line before the closing ?>
$settings['directory_index'] = 'index.php';

3. Set the following settings in your admin panel under "config":

Link Type: Direct Linking
Category URL Format: Basic search engine friendly
Rewrite URL: /yald/index.html/

4. To fix the Suggest a Link:
Edit the index.php - go to line 178 and replace this:

$template->assign('suggest_url',$settings['mod_rewrite_url'].'suggest.php?category='.$category);
with this:

$template->assign('suggest_url','/yald/suggest.php?category='.$category);

5. Use this as your .htaccess file IN THE YALD FOLDER - * NOT * IN THE ROOT.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /yald/

# The Friendly URLs part
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# this makes it so if you go to [www.YourDomain.com] it gives you [www.YourDomain.com]

RewriteRule index.html/(.*)_(.*)?$ index.php?viewcat=$1 [L,QSA]

# this makes it so if you go to [www.YourDomain.com] *OR* [www.YourDomain.com] it will actually work.

RewriteRule index.html/?$ index.php [L,QSA]

===========================================
Notes: For whatever reason if I tried to make the URL Rewrite work using something like "yald/directory/" it wouldn't work, but if I used "yald/index.html" it does.

I'm just winging it here on the .htaccess stuff :-p

You can see this installed here: [www.cpapdiscountstore.com]

Nice product.

Search form doesn't work (1 reply)

vidalmb — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 02:18:34 -0500

I've just installed YALD and works fine, it does exactly what I spected, but I have a problem:

When I use the search text box a the top of directory.php page, it doesn't find any link, even if I search exactly the name that I introduced when adding the link.

Do I have to execute any script to index the whole site (like it happens with many content management systems), so that the search engine could find the links??

Thank you for your help.

Warning: mysql_fetch_array() (14 replies)

allstone — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 22:06:54 -0500

So, I just installed yald 2.4.1 (an upgrade actually from 2.3.1)

Now, at the top of each page, I get the following error messages:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /usr/www/users/taurus/gancao/yald2/inc/functions.php on line 238

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /usr/www/users/taurus/gancao/yald2/directory.php on line 123

This does not happen on the "top" page nor on the admin pages.

Any ideas?

Can any one help with this install error? --

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user '[rootname]'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/[root]/public_html/yald/install/install.php on line 23
Could not connect to MySQL. Make sure your MySQL settings are correct.

I've seen this before on the board here, but no solution. I've done everything I know: changing inc/config.php before ftp'ing over, changing permissions to 777, etc. I host my own stuff, so I have a good degree of control over things. But when it can't find the database, (and I've tried deleting/reloading, typing carefully -- in fact cut/paste of db name) I'm not sure what else I can do. --Thanks.

Rewrite URL (3 replies)

tucsonsam — Fri, 30 May 2008 00:13:15 -0500

In configuring my site, I choose Advanced Search Engine Friendly. I don't understand what to put in for the rewrite url. For instance, my site is:

[www.tucsonsam.com]

I am supposed to put in something to replace vpx? What should it be?

Then there is a link that says: View your .htaccess, but when I click on it it does nothing. Does it show me what to put into the .htaccess file after I enter a rewrite URL?

Any help will be appreciated.

There seems to be an error in your SQL query. The MySQL server error output below, if there is any, may also help you in diagnosing the problem
