[plugin] [ORPHAN] sgb_url_handler - support all url variations at the same time

andreas · 2005-06-19 20:12:10

Out of the box it didn’t work for me either. I installed both new versions (url_handler and error_documents) and called a URL that didn’t match the default scheme. Nothing happened: the article was displayed.

If I call an invalid URL, I’m taken to the section homepage.

Here are my diagnostic details:

Hmm. There is something fishy going on. It seems to be working fine on my site.

The real link:
http://mighthitgold.net/journal/sgb_error_documents

A real link (using another scheme):
http://mighthitgold.net/journal/txp/sgb_error_documents
This results in a 301 & redirection to the first link.

An incorrect link:
http://mighthitgold.net/journal/THISISWRONG/sgb_error_documents
This results in a 404.

My sgb_url_handler_config():
<code>// Defines which mode to match</code>
<code>$config[‘match’] = ‘exact’;</code>

<code>// Send 301 redirects?</code>
<code>$config[‘send_301’] = 1; // bool</code>

<code>// Send 404 not founds?</code>
<code>$config[‘send_404’] = 1; // bool</code>

My sgb_error_documents_config():
<code>// 301 Moved Permanently</code>
<code>// Do not change the 301 unless you know what you’re doing!</code>
<code>$r[‘error_documents’][‘301’][‘id’] = null;</code>
<code>$r[‘error_documents’][‘301’][‘url’] = 1;</code>
<code>$r[‘error_documents’][‘301’][‘file’] = null;</code>
<code>$r[‘error_documents’][‘301’][‘text’] = null;</code>

<code>// 403 Forbidden</code>
<code>$r[‘error_documents’][‘403’][‘id’] = null;</code>
<code>$r[‘error_documents’][‘403’][‘url’] = null;</code>
<code>$r[‘error_documents’][‘403’][‘file’] = null;</code>
<code>$r[‘error_documents’][‘403’][‘text’] = null;</code>

<code>// 404 File Not Found</code>
<code>$r[‘error_documents’][‘404’][‘id’] = 40;</code>
<code>$r[‘error_documents’][‘404’][‘url’] = null;</code>
<code>$r[‘error_documents’][‘404’][‘file’] = null;</code>
<code>$r[‘error_documents’][‘404’][‘text’] = null;</code>

But it’s clearly not working properly on your sites. At this point I’m not sure what’s wrong I’ll continue to play around with it and figure out what could be happening.

If you know, could you post which revision of TxP your using e.g. 1.0RC3 r243.

Thanks!

rev 406 — I don’t have to use the tag provided to get the plugin workin, do I? I just installed the two and made the basic configuration, although for error_docs I didn’t provide any data for the 404s but the 301s should be working anyway, shouldn’t they?

I have it installed on www.rete-mirabile.net

els · 2005-06-20 15:04:33

Mine is rev 406 as well, before that the plugins acted the same, I don’t know which rev it was, got it from deanload in the first week of May I think.

My configs are exactly the same as yours.

In case diagnostics tell you something:

It seems to be a problem with sgb_error_documents and the newer revisions of TxP. I was using a version from March/April.

Working on it now.

Update: Okay, it’s not a problem with sgb_error_documents per se, it’s a problem with how <code>sgb_error_document()</code> is being checked in <code>sgb_url_handler_config()</code>.

Okay, problem found. I’ll post more in a few minutes after I try a couple of solutions.

doggiez & andreas -

After much trial and error I figured out what was going on. In short, recent versions of TxP executed plugin code differently. Plugin code used to be strung together and <code>eval()</code>‘d at the same time — this meant plugins could reference code in other plugins (as sgb_url_handler and sgb_error_documents do). In recent versions this behavior changed, each plugin is <code>eval()</code>‘d separately — meaning plugins can’t reference code in other plugins. I’m hoping this changes as I’d like sgb_error_documents to be accesible by any and all plugins that want to use it.

And on that note, I don’t want to officially combine the two plugins, so you’ll need to download the newest versions (links are posted in the first post of this tread and on my site): sgb_url_handler 0.1.8.3 and sgb_error_documents 0.1.2.2.

Edit: These instructions are only necessary if your install of TxP lacks the function <code>include_plugin()</code>

1. Install sgb_url_handlers 0.1.8.3
2. Install sgb_error_documents 0.1.2.2
3. Configure each plugin per normal
4. Edit sgb_error_documents and copy all the code (you don’t need to save after copying)
5. Return to the plugins page
6. Edit sgb_url_handler, delete or comment out the line that says <code>include_plugin(‘sgb_error_documents’);</code>
7. Paste all the code you copied from sgb_error_documents above the line you just commented out (or deleted)
8. Save the changes and return to the plugins page
9. Activate sgb_url_handler — you don’t need to activate sgb_error_documents.

It should work now. There were a few misc. changes to both plugins so you’ll want to update to the versions above.

At this point I’m going to keep the plugins separate and see if I can’t get TxP to switch back to the old style plugin deal.

Sorry for the confusion. Let me know if it works for you now.

THANK YOU SG!
finally got my 404s to work :*

els · 2005-06-21 14:28:58

Perfect sgb!!! It’s working! Thank you for all your trouble.

nicklas · 2005-06-21 14:34:47

Gah, well, it did fix the 404’s a bit too good for me. If I install sgb_url_handler 0.1.8.2 it requires a carbonatedink.com/index.php — if just carbonatedink.com/ it gives a blank screen. sgb_url_handler 0.1.8.1 works fine except that sgb_error_documents 0.1.2.1 won’t give a 404 if the url is faulty.

If I paste the error_documents into the url_handler-plugin it returns a 404 instead of a black screen when carbonatedink.com/ is used — carbonatedink.com/index.php works fine though.

Slightly off topic, but…

Has anyone else had a problem where textpattern returns the home page regardless of whatever non-existent page was requested. Mydomain.com/theresnopagewiththisname always presents the home page.

I was hoping to use sgb_errors to get past this.

Not off topic at all, and yes – that is the purpose of this plugin pair.
