[Schaum]

Hello,
I have added this great mod, but I have a small understanding problem.
How know a search machine the other language sites?

To change the language, you must klick, on the Banner.
But I have like theses links:

Code: [Select]

categories.php?cat_id=39&page=&l=englishor the index:

Code: [Select]

?l=english
Normally the search engine is stopp “?” here.

[V@no]

This has been discused here, quiet recently. I see no point repeat the discussion again.

@ v@no
sorry, back to my (and txtaholics)  category dropdown selection menu problem.
It is still working on some pages and on some pages it will not work. I have not an idea where is the mistake.
I have repaired all IE errors i had on my site but it is still not working on every page onlyon some. (please try on my site)

Even one more question:
I have put this code to my .htaccess file

Code: [Select]

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\.html$ index.php?template=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}for having this
www.industrie-gravuren.de/galerie/anfahrt.html
instead of this
www.industrie-gravuren.de/galerie/index.php?template=anfahrt
for example.
What i am doing wrong? It is not working for me.

Hi,

mit dieser Regel klappt das auf jeden Fall bei mir und mit den Kategorien habe ich auch keine Probleme.
Wie sieht denn Dein ganzes .htaccess File aus und bei welchen Kategorien klappt es nicht?

I dont think the problem is related to this mod. You have JavaScript errors on your site and since the dropdown menu is using javascript to auto jump to the sellected category it also producing error...The form with category select dropdown on "working" pages and "non working" are identical, but for unknown to me reason this JS error acure:

Error: forms.jumpbox has no properties

Lets do one step at a time: fix the javascript errors, then if the problem remains, we'll continue troubleshoot.

As of your custom template setup, the sign minus ( - ) must be escaped with a backslash:

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+)\.html$ index.php?template=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}

And make sure that this line is the last in .htaccess, otherwise every page you access would be treated as a custom template

@ v@no
Thanks v@no.

Lets do one step at a time: fix the javascript errors, then if the problem remains, we'll continue troubleshoot.

How can find or see the javascript errors. I am using IE. In the status line there is no error to see.
Could you please help me to find. Thanks.

Use Firefox - it has exelent JS debuging tool

[bibabobu]

 
 still not working on the end of my .htaccess file.

Code: [Select]

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+)\.html$ index.php?template=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}something is going wrong. i don't know why :

@ v@no thanks i will install firefox perhaps it is helping me to repair the javascripts.

[V@no]

Just tested myself - works just fine.


[EDIT]
are you sure thats the exact line from your .htaccess? cause link with .htm extension instead of .html works just fine:
http://www.industrie-gravuren.de/galerie/anfahrt.htm

[bibabobu]

hi v@no,

i found out my problem.
In my javascript for my site link menu there were the links in php style. I changed that into html links.
Now it is working fine

Just one link in german language, the "kleinanzeiger" the rewrite does not work and i don't know why.
I changed it like i changed the other links. For surprise in the other languages this "kleinanzeiger" link also works great.    :

EDIT:
I have installed Mozilla Firefox. And i already repaired some template problems.
Also i can find the Javascript problems. But i cannot fix them.
What a pity that i don't know how :
Perhaps you could help me to fix one error, so that i could repair the other errors on my own

Hi, for those who wants to have furl like this :
www.yourdomain.com/image-image,name,id.html
www.yourdomain.com/categorie-categorie,name,id,page.html
www.yourdomain.com/recherche-name,page.html
www.yourdomain.com/nouvelles-images,1,page.html

(you can see it on my web site : www.yatahonga.com)

first : in sessions.php
find the url function and replace it by :

Code: [Select]

function good_name($nom) {

// *************************************************************
// FIN URL REWRITING
// *************************************************************

Note that if you want others statics words, you have to change the differents str_replace for search, details and categories

STEP 2 : in functions.php

wherevever you see :
$site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."details.php?"
AND
$site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."categories.php?"

just add the thir agurment wich is the cat or image name of course !
ex :

in function get_thumbnail_code(), for the condition if ($showlink), i set :
$thumb = "<a href=\"".$site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."details.php?".URL_IMAGE_ID."=".$image_id.((!empty($mode)) ? "&amp;mode=".$mode : ""),0,$image_name)."\" onclick=\"opendetailwindow()\" target=\"detailwindow\">".$thumb."</a>";

STEP 3 : paging.php

replace it by this :

Code: [Select]

STEP 4 :  categories.php

in section SHOW IMAGE, juste replace

the $linkarg definition by :
$link_arg = $site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."categories.php?".URL_CAT_ID."=".$cat_id,0,$cat_cache[$cat_id]['cat_name']);
( i just add the cat name )


STEP 5 :  details.php

for next and prev image url, just add the name of the image like this :

Code: [Select]

$next_image_url = $site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."details.php?".URL_IMAGE_ID."=".$next_image_id.((!empty($mode)) ? "&mode=".$mode : ""),0,$next_image_name);

Code: [Select]

$prev_image_url = $site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."details.php?".URL_IMAGE_ID."=".$prev_image_id.((!empty($mode)) ? "&mode=".$mode : ""),0,$prev_image_name);

STEP 6 : search_form.html (template) and header.html (template too...)

for the form, add this : onsubmit="return form_url(this.search_keywords.value); "
(its a redirection function in order to get the name of the query

then add in your header this javascript function:

Code: [Select]

function form_url(keywords) {

// on remplace les espaces

ok_key = keywords.replace(/ /, ",");

location.href="http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/recherche-images,"+ok_key+",1.html";
return false;
}
Note that if you change the statics words in STEP 1, you have to change it in this function

STEP 7 : change your htaccess...
here is mine :

Code: [Select]

RewriteEngine on



# REWRITE DES PAGES DETAILS

RewriteRule ^/image-(.*),([0-9]+)\.html$ /details.php?image_id=$2 [L]


# CATEGORIES

RewriteRule ^/categorie-(.*),([0-9]+),([0-9]+)\.html$ /categories.php?cat_id=$2&page=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^/categorie-(.*),([0-9]+)\.html$ /categories.php?cat_id=$2 [L]



# SEARCH

RewriteRule ^/recherche-images\.html$ /search.php  [L]
RewriteRule ^/recherche-images,(.*),([0-9]+)\.html$ /search.php?show_result=1&search_keywords=$1&page=$2  [L]
RewriteRule ^/recherche-images,(.*)\.html$ /search.php?show_result=1&search_keywords=$1  [L]

RewriteRule ^recherches-statistiques\.html$ /search_stats.php  [L]
RewriteRule ^recherches-statistiques,([0-9]+)\.html$ /search_stats.php?page=$1  [L]



RewriteRule ^/nouvelles-images,1\.html$ /search.php?search_new_images=1  [L]
RewriteRule ^/nouvelles-images,1,([0-9]+)\.html$ /search.php?search_new_images=1&page=$1  [L]


And that's all ! (its quite easy, don't be afraid...)
the main function is function url in sessions.php, its here you have to pay attention for the name of your rewriting
and in all other page, you just have to add the name of categorie, image, search or whatever when you call the function url()
If you understand, you can do it for lighbox.php, member.php, postcard.php etc....

Best regards !
