Category problem solved!! (1 reply)

jdoppenberg — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 00:34:26 -0600

Hi all,

I solved that problem from my last topic, and this is what i did.

open inc/functions.php and edit line 434

change:
$category .= '/'.$categorypath[$i]['name'];

to
$category = '/'.$categorypath[$i]['name'];

(remove the dot before '=')

That's it... now all categories will show up like they should.

Bye, Jeroen

Category problem... (1 reply)

jdoppenberg — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 00:33:02 -0600

Hi all,

I noticed a weird thing when I had submitted a new link.
In the 'Approve link' tab I see my new links but the category discription is wrong.
Both links I create in New Category1
But in my screen it looks like this: (see the attachement).
The first link is in: Category: /New Category 1
The second is: Category: /New Category 1/New Category 1

As you see the second one is wrong, because it is also in /New Category 1

How can i correct this problem?

(sorry for my english, I hope you can read it ;))

Gr, Jeroen

I'm getting warnings from mysql (3 replies)

PHATnames — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:37:11 -0500

I'm getting these warnings, not sure why, everything looked ok.

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/dirname/public_html/AnotherDirectory/inc/functions.php on line 379

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/dirname/public_html/AnotherDirectory/inc/functions.php on line 238

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/phatname/public_html/AnotherDirectory/directory.php on line 123

also when I hit the home button, it gives me the directory structure, not the web page.

shouldn't there be a place for my email so I get notified of a new link request?

Thanks a lot.
Dan

PS... hope we get this working ok... .looks like a great product!

Recursive Link Counting (2 replies)

flip — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:10:22 -0500

Hello,

Here is my third issue: I enabled recursive link counting but behind the parent category appears in bracket 0 links although there are subcategories which contain links.

This is probably a bug because I did only change the template files and didn't touch any core files.

Can you help or do you have a solution to fix this?

Many thanks!

Search Engine Friendly Category URL Format didn't work (2 replies)

flip — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:26:15 -0500

Hello,

I installed the directory and the basic Search Engine Friendly Category URL Format didn't work. I tried several settings but none worked.

I have created the .htaccess file and uploaded it. Here are my current settings:
Index File Location: /links/index.php
Category URL Format: Basic Search Engine friendly
Rewrite URL: /directory/

Actually I have tried 5-10 different combinations within these fields and also uploaded updated .htaccess files and changed directory names. Problem is always that the rewritten link seems to doesn't exist and I'm redirected to an error page.

I can give admin access if that helps.

Can't delete links (3 replies)

sammahoney — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 20:51:40 -0600

Hi

I have been using YALD for a while now without any problems. However, I just tried to delete a link for the first time, and I get the following error:

Not Acceptable

An appropriate representation of the requested resource /~splthstl/links/directory.php could not be found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/2.2.10 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.10 OpenSSL/0.9.7a mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at host.qsoftdns.net Port 80

I can edit links no problem. I noticed that YALD uses javascript to handle the deletion - would this be the problem? Is my server not allowing the javascript to function properly?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Search results pagination (2 replies)

Dave — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 04:11:31 -0600

Hello,

I'm trying to get pagination working on my search results using YALD.

I used all the necessary pagination coding used in the list links function. The result is that search results are now restricted to my pagination results-per-page settings, but there is no page_navigation links at the bottom, (like < 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 >), and I did add the necessary if {$page_navigation} coding to the template for search.html

Manually entering &page=2 in the address bar for search results gets you to the second page of search results, this is how I know that the pagination itself is working.

The only reference I could find to $page_navigation was in the index file, and that did not seem relevant to making the navigational links show up for pages other than catid=XX list_links pages.

Thanks and Merry Christmas

Help with utf-8 encoding (11 replies)

alicia — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 06:05:28 -0500

I want to display links and categories in various languages, so I tried to use utf-8 encoding.

I have changed in admin/template.html to ; after I added a new category, the title does display correctly in admin/categories.php, but not in directory.php.

Instead of getting the desired title in directory.php, the title in us-ascii format is displayed.

What should I do to get the desired title to display in directory.php?:S

Thanks in advance for helping.:)

Rewrite said to have caused crash(?) (2 replies)

donzo — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 15:23:46 -0500

I'm working in this file: [ufirstmoneymerge.com] -- and have done the SEO admin choice, which required the rewrite. I installed this, and it worked for several days, rewriting things to the /directory/ apparent subfolder, rather than correct /yald/. However, today, website crashed with this error anywhere in the domain:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@ufirstmoneymerge.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.63 OpenSSL/0.9.8b mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at ufirstmoneymerge.com Port 80

When I went into server logs, it read:

[Fri Sep 05 20:15:50 2008] [alert] [client 207.45.190.13] /home/[user]public_html/.htaccess: RewriteRule: bad flag delimiters

So I wrote to my tech people who put in a blank .htaccess file, and everything worked. When I asked him about putting that code back in, he told me that... well, here's the cut/paste.

Hello Don,

Yes, I looked at it and I tried to fix it before I removed it. I'm guessing this code was written for Apache 1 instead of 2. If you submit support a request for the correct code and tell them error that it was showing on our server, they can give you the correct code to insert into your .htaccess file. Normally, when only some of the code is bad, the log file will state which line or command is incorrect, as you can see it didn't provide us much info in this exact case. I don't see any thing incorrect off hand by looking at it, but then again I'm not a total expert in .htaccess instructions.

If I had to guess what line is wrong, I would say: RewriteRule ^directory/(.*)$ /yald/$1 [L,QSA]Options All -Indexes

I'm sure there is probably only a few minor adjustments needed, but the module developer would know best what to change this info too.

As I'd said, the whole thing worked for days -- perfectly. Perhaps it's related, but it seemed to crash when I tried to "Index Manager" "No Index" the root public_html directory. (Whether this is even possible, I don't know.) Here was the full .htaccess file, including entries from previously. Any thoughts? --Don

How can this be done ?

html styles like [b][/b] in the description field (6 replies)

ludoergosum — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 05:58:46 -0600

is it possible to use such html styles? and if not, would it be hard to add that to the script?

I'm going to use the script as some kind of address directory and it would be nice to have some words bold like:

name: blabla
address: blabla

How to make multiple line link descriptions? (4 replies)

ludoergosum — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 05:56:29 -0600

Hello everybody!

I have to explain that more exactly:

The description field in the admin panel where I can enter the description of a link is a "textarea" field which supports "to press enter" and continue on the line underneath.

Like in this forum, I can write like in a "Word-File" and it is showed with these breaks I entered.

In the YALD script, when I put a description with breaks, it just puts all the words in one line but doesn't show the breaks I entered.

I hope you see the problem. Is there a possibility to solve this?

Thanks for your help!

suggest.php and mod_rewrite problem (3 replies)

Mr.Mac — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 05:08:38 -0500

I finally managed to install YALD and activate "Advanced search engine friendlyness" successfully :)

Many thanks to the author of this fine script!

A hint to all w. rewrite-problems: After you change and re-generate .htaccess you might need to delete your categories and set them up again - took me a while to find out - kept getting a 404 ;)

Now that I got that running, I have the following problem:
when I click on "Suggest a link", no matter in which category, rewrite sends me back to the startpage of YALD. The link seems correct:

http: //my.domain.tld/my-fancy-url/suggest.php?category=11

but I actually see what is at:

http: //my.domain.tld/my-fancy-url/

When I disable rewrite in the admin panel and use Standard Category URL Format, I get the suggest.php.

also this way works (w. the actual YALD-url, instead of the rewritten fancy one, but rewrite on):

http: //my.domain.tld/yald/suggest.php?category=11

Here my .htaccess as generated by YALD:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^my-fancy-url$ /my-fancy-url/ [R]
RewriteRule ^my-fancy-url/([a-zA-Z1-9\-/\?=]*(\.html)?)?$ /yald/index.php?viewcat=$1&catname=0 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^my-fancy-url/([a-zA-Z1-9\-/\?=\.]*)?$ /yald/index.php?viewcat=$1&catname=0 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^my-fancy-url/((\d+)_(.*))?$ /yald/index.php?viewcat=$2&catname=$3
RewriteRule ^my-fancy-url/(.*)$ /yald/$1 [L,QSA]

This applies for the sitemap.php aswell (which I will now take a closer look at).

Any hints where the bug bites (in the .htaccess)?

Cheers! :)

Link Back to Directory Not working (5 replies)

sherri — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 07:40:53 -0500

Hi,

I have my config entry for Index File Location set to:

[www.mydomain.com]

And everything works except, when I'm an admin and I click on the Edit button under a link... I edit it (in the admin) and click Update, then the Return To Directory link goes to:

[www.mydomain.com]

Which of course is wrong. However, if I change my Index File Location in the config to:

/index.php

then my [Edit] button on the directory goes to:

[admin]

Something is wrong here... ??
