[plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_rewrite: configurable clean URLs

mericson · 2005-01-25 05:06:08

Does zem_rewrite support URLs of the form section.mydomain.com ?

zem · 2005-01-25 10:02:24

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

mericson · 2005-01-25 15:35:26

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?

wilshire · 2005-01-25 16:23:15

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.

wilshire · 2005-01-25 16:26:57

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.

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.

wilshire · 2005-01-26 04:49:18

So is there any way to return a 404 status but still show a custom 404 page using the plugin?

zem · 2005-01-26 23:00:22

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.

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.
Arpan

arpan, did you replace TXP’s <txp:permlink> with <txp:zem_permlink>?

arpan · 2005-01-29 04:32:22

yes, I did that.

Makes no difference.

note: I tested using both of them and they links they create are identical.

andreas · 2005-01-29 09:13:40

Did you modify the plugin code like it is suggested at the top of the code view? I.e. did you create your own URL scheme?

Another possible problem: did you delete the old placeholder files from the root directory? They have to be gone for the plugin to work.

I have only the following text in the .htacess file. it’s in the main folder of the txp site

RewriteEngine On

Passthrough for existing files and directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) – [PT,L]

Everything else should go through Textpattern
RewriteRule (.*) index.php

I did not modify the plugin code. I didn’t think that anything needed to be changed.

>did you delete the old placeholder files from the root directory?

I’m working with a new install of TXP. I made sure that everything was working, and then I made tried installing this plugin. the version is 1.0RC1

andreas · 2005-01-29 15:05:36

Sorry, arpan, all that I can think of we’ve checked. I can’t say what else might cause the problem.

Did you create sections and categories?
