Re: Yoko for Textpattern

Yes, I think grabbing the latest from the download section and starting fresh is the best way to approach your problems. Let me know what happens once you updated…

Re: Yoko for Textpattern

OK! Success! I installed the newest version of Yoko and the error in my header went away. Thank you.

I am still having the other problem though. None of the links work.

Every link on the homepage produces a 404 file not found error.

Does this have something to do with the fact that I have installed textpattern in a subdirectory? Or maybe I need to change some settings so that the links are correctly relative to each other? This may no longer be relevant to the Yoko thread, not sure.

Re: Yoko for Textpattern

In the preferences try to switch to “messy URLs” instead. This looks as though the .htaccess file was not configured to support clean URLs.

Re: Yoko for Textpattern

Hi,

I’ve got it installed, and all appears to be well – apart from the sidebar links which aren’t following the ‘messy’ link type (which I believe I need because I dont have a fixed IP?) you can check it out @ www.spud693.co.uk – any help with this issue would be greatly appriciated!

EDIT

In particular I’m referring to the sidebar links in ‘about this site’ ‘Archive’ and I also notice the rss link is busted. They are all linking like /contact, where they should be index.php?s=contact…

Re: Yoko for Textpattern

Messy URLs and fixed IP are not related. You just need to have rewriting rules active for clean urls to work.
Do you want to continue with messy URLs? If you anyways want to have clean URLs working I can help you get this running ;)
What webserver do you use?

Update: The links are free text, you can just adjust them if you go to the form yoko_widget_text.

Re: Yoko for Textpattern

I have a lamp server, running on a raspberry pi behind my tv, lol.
Thanks for getting back to me – I’m willing to use whichever method you consider to be the best as I’m fairly new to this! I’ve read up a little, are rewriting rules done in .htaccess?

Re: Yoko for Textpattern

Yes, excatly. .htaccess is your friend. You can find the required settings in the diagnose tab or simple add those to your file (create .htaccess if it does not exist yet):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) – [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

Then adjust the url mode to clean and you should be good to go :)

Re: Yoko for Textpattern

Okay – I found my .htaccess in my web root, opened it up – it already has all those conditions in there, along with a few others. I backed it up, deleted everything but the lines above, changed permanent link mode to /Id/title , but unfortunately that isn’t working….

You need to enable mod_rewrite in Apache. Does this help?

Re: Yoko for Textpattern

One last thing – I notice that the page doesn’t resize for mobile devices when accessed via my domain name with framed forwarding, is there any way around this or will I need to disable framed forwarding?

Thanks

EDIT

Bit more info, my domain (spud693.co.uk) has framed web forwarding, setup to access spud693.myftp.org, a no-ip redirect address which links to whatever my current ip address is at the time.

If I open my domain, it will not format for mobile devices. If I open the no-ip link directly, it will.

Ideally I would like to retain the framed forwarding as it just looks tidier, displaying the domain in the address bar, but if it isn’t possible I’ll scrap it.

I’ve also noticed the contact form isn’t working, and if someone comments it doesn’t notify me. I assume I need to set these up somehow?

Sorry for all the questions!

Re: Yoko for Textpattern

Okay, i’ve sorted the formatting issue – instead of web forwarding i’ve set up a CNAME record with my domain provider and it now works correctly – still a bit lost on the comments / contact issue though.
