gbp_permanent_links

maniqui · 2009-10-15 13:20:33

Hi si.b,
not sure if gbp_p_l would help on the task of redirecting old links to new ones.
But there are two other options, in the shape of plugins:

rah_metas (I think it includes some functionality for redirecting old links to new ones
zem_redirect_pro (an old plugin, not sure if it will work with latest TXP releases, and there is no public download link for it, as it was a paid plugin, but now it’s abandonware)

Many thanks for the suggestions maniqui,

That’ll be why I was stumped – wrong plugin!

Tried both others, but just seem to get 404s whatever I do… Thanks for the help though.

Are you sure you meet all the server requirements? Can you post your diagnostic tab?

Of course – I considered upgrading txp, but didn’t want to risk buggering something up without knowing it would actually make a difference!:

Uhm… There should be a clean url test message in the page, above textarea, if I remember right. Anyway, your txp install is heavily modified! Are you aware of this? Plus, a lot of function are disabled on your server, even if I don’t know if they are related to clean urls.

You should try a fresh install of 4.0.4, if you don’t want to upgrade (but why not?). At the moment, it could be anything: try an unmodified install and then you can see what’s wrong.

In Txp 4.0.4 those unmodified files could have been uploaded incorrectly. Wrong line endings etc… I’ve seen that many times probably nothing to worry about.

Those functions aren’t required by gbp_permanent_links and shouldn’t be required TXP (95% sure).

Maybe you could test a fresh install of TXP 4.2.0 to see if this is a problem with 4.0.4. Or upgrade it shouldn’t be too painful if at all. Be sure to back everything up first tho!

Thanks for the comments guys – will try an upgrade and keep you posted.

For some reason when gbp_permanent_links is enabled bad URLs are being generated for txp:link_to_next and txp:link_to_prev the generated URLs look something like the following…

I think I know what the problem was… the error in the URL was because I was in debug mode of gbp_permanent_links. And I believe the reason there was an error is I had “automatically_append_title” turned on, but I didn’t have a rule that used the title. At least I think so.

Things are working fine now.

That’ll change if you’re in live mode.

Hi graeme,

you early mentioned that gbp_permanent_links should be compatible with MLP.

I’ve set up a TXP install wih MLP + gbp_p_l, but haven’t try any crazy thing yet.
So far, I’ve noticed that when gbp_p_l is active, some tags that should output clean URLs are returning the messy one. For example, txp:section_list.

Anyway, I’m not here to report findings (yet) but to ask for any advice-in-advance on using MLP + gbp_p_l that you or any other user may know.
So, here are some questions:

1) regarding plugin load order, what should come first? I usually load gbp_admin_library + MLP first (order=1, as suggested on MLP thread). Wonder if gbp_p_l should be loaded before or after them.

2) Once everything is set up and ready to start creating gbp_p_l rules, I wonder if you have any basic tips for the rules to work, being that MLP already rewrites them to include the lang chunk (ie. /en/, /es/, /fr/, etc). Shall those chunks be included in the gbp_p_l rules I create? If so, how? As text? or better as a regex?

Thanks.

Mmmm, this happens with or withouth MLP activated. I can’t understand why. If plugin is enabled, most built-in tags that generate links (<txp:section>, <txp:section_list>, <txp:file_download_link>, etc), are generating them using messy URLs.

This plugin is so indomitable. The only person I know that tamed this beast is pieman, and he taught me a few good tricks.
