Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_rewrite: configurable clean URLs
Does zem_rewrite support URLs of the form section.mydomain.com ?

It doesn’t do subdomains, but that’s a cool idea.

Yah, subdomains would be very nice! I’m moving my site in that direction and was hoping that
I have another question, what is the relationship between zem_rewrite and RSS/ATOM feeds? What version of links are generated in the feed? Are they consistent with the links that are on the website using zem_rewrite?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_rewrite: configurable clean URLs
FYI – In order to fix the problem I was having with if_individual_article and if_article_list I added <code>extract($atts);</code> to the top of the doArticle function in publish.php.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_rewrite: configurable clean URLs
I also modified publish.php to hack in some 404 handling. That way instead of getting a message that says “no page template specified for section” I redirect to another page.
If you want to do this, find the textpattern() function. For me its on line 160. Then change line 167 from this
<code>
if (!$html) exit(‘no page template specified for section ‘.$s);
</code>
to this
<code>
if (!$html) header(“Location: /”);
</code>
This redirects back to my home page. You could also create a section called 404 and redirect to “/404” or something to that effect.

The feeds are hard-coded, so the only way to change the link format is to edit rss.php and atom.php. They produce links in the form /section/1234/. The ‘article_alt’ scheme in zem_rewrite is designed to parse these.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_rewrite: configurable clean URLs
Wilshire,
Beware of using a redirect to handle missing pages. It can cause problems with search engines. Returning a 404 status is better, because it sends a clear signal that the requested URL is invalid.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_rewrite: configurable clean URLs
So is there any way to return a 404 status but still show a custom 404 page using the plugin?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_rewrite: configurable clean URLs
Edit the plugin code, and change the line print("The page you requested..."); to something like this:
readfile('/home/mydir/public_html/my404page.html');
You could use the same code (with header('Status: 404 Not Found')) in publish.php.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_rewrite: configurable clean URLs
I’m a new user, and I probably am doing something wrong, but I’m unable to figure out how to get this to work.
I installed the plugin on a new install of textpattern on my computer. Pasted the required code in the .htaccess file. And I’ve enabled clean urls. but whenever I click on the article link on the front page, I get the following error:
Not Found
The requested URL /MAMP/seed3/article/1/first-post was not found on this server.
Apache/2.0.50 (Unix) PHP/5.0.2 Server at localhost Port 8888
I’m using MAMP (Mac, Apache, Mysql, PHP) on a Mac. What am I doing wrong.
Thanks for your help.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_rewrite: configurable clean URLs
arpan, did you replace TXP’s <txp:permlink> with <txp:zem_permlink>?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_rewrite: configurable clean URLs
yes, I did that.
Makes no difference.
note: I tested using both of them and they links they create are identical.
