Weird permalink problem..

    • Posted 5 years ago #

    Since I moved my domain name back onto Dreamhost.com, the "Options +MultiViews" line in the .htaccess file works partly, but not fully for ALL the links.. =/

    When adding that line, the memberlist and pm links work, but, when clicking on a username, or forum link, I get the old "No input file specified" message.. ?

    Now, when I use the rewrite rules from bb-admin/rewrite.php or whatever.. upload that to the forum's root, then the memberlist and pm links don't work.. >_<

    Does anyone have a clue, or work around for this maybe? Like, maybe adding a few lines in the bb-admin/rewrite.php verion of the .htaccess, just for those plugin links? Any thoughts, suggestions and such are welcome.. ;) :)

    I know all the memberlist and pm links check for is if $bb->mod_rewrite is set to true... that's in your config file.

    When you do the thing to make the rest of the forum work, does going to mlist.php work?

    Hey Josh, yeah.. this link works:
    http://spencerp.net/forums/mlist.php

    Same for the pm.php one:
    http://spencerp.net/forums/pm.php

    Except whenever clicking on a message title link, and anything else related to that section, or what-not, it gives a 404.. =/ =( Is there a way to keep this from happening.. ?

    /I think this came up some where before, but I can't find it now, my mind is spinning with so much crap going on lately sigh.. can't think straight these days.. =P

    you can look in bb-memberlist.php and bb-privatemessages.php in my-plugins and take out the part that looks for $bb->mod_rewrite. Of course, then it would just try to use mlist.php and pm.php

    Thanks Josh, I took out the "if else" statements in the two main plugin files, and it's working now.. ;):)

    In bb-memberlist.php found this:
    function bb_get_memberlist_link( $tag = '' ) {
    global $bb;
    if ( $bb->mod_rewrite )
    $r = bb_get_option('uri') . "mlist" . ( '' != $tag ? "?$tag" : '' );
    else
    $r = bb_get_option('uri') . "mlist.php" . ( '' != $tag ? "?$tag" : '' );
    return apply_filters( 'get_memberlist_link', $r );
    }

    Changed to this:
    function bb_get_memberlist_link( $tag = '' ) {
    global $bb;
    $r = bb_get_option('uri') . "mlist.php" . ( '' != $tag ? "?$tag" : '' );
    return apply_filters( 'get_memberlist_link', $r );
    }

    Then, in bb-privatemessage.php.. Find these two:
    (near top of file)
    function get_pm_fp_link( $tag = '' ) {
    global $bb;
    if ( $bb->mod_rewrite )
    $r = bb_get_option('uri') . "pm" . ( '' != $tag ? "$tag" : '' );
    else
    $r = bb_get_option('uri') . "pm.php" . ( '' != $tag ? "$tag" : '' );
    return apply_filters( 'get_pm_fp_link', $r );
    }

    Changed to this:
    function get_pm_fp_link( $tag = '' ) {
    global $bb;
    $r = bb_get_option('uri') . "pm.php" . ( '' != $tag ? "$tag" : '' );
    return apply_filters( 'get_pm_fp_link', $r );
    }

    Then, near the middle of the file, find this one:
    function bb_get_pm_link( $tag = '' ) {
    global $bb;
    if ( $bb->mod_rewrite )
    $r = bb_get_option('uri') . "message" . ( '' != $tag ? "$tag" : '' );
    else
    $r = bb_get_option('uri') . "message.php" . ( '' != $tag ? "$tag" : '' );
    return apply_filters( 'get_pm_link', $r );
    }

    Changed it to this:
    function bb_get_pm_link( $tag = '' ) {
    global $bb;
    $r = bb_get_option('uri') . "message.php" . ( '' != $tag ? "$tag" : '' );
    return apply_filters( 'get_pm_link', $r );
    }

    This should be it, and should be right.. it's working for me now, at least.. Hope it maybe helps someone else out there.. ;):)

    My problem is different. I moved all my WP & BBpress file into different directory in my server. Then all the links lead to 404 pages. I updated permalinks (by a single click) in wordpress and it solves the problem. Now i can't update it in my BBpress site. Any help will be very appreciated.

    Thanks.
