retard-proof explanation asked for zem_rewrite (and/or clean urls)
I have been fiddling with zem_rewrite and searching this forum, textbook and other resources for help. Still, I haven’t managed to get this plugin to work. At this moment I feel quite stupid and it looks like learning to yodel might have as much effect as everything else I’ve tried so far. But then I thought, niet geschoten is altijd mis (something like ‘if you don’t shoot you’ll miss anyway’) – let me try the brainy TXP forum members, maybe they can help me with some retard-proof explanation.
As I am one of those (oldfashioned?) persons thats needs more then one directory level in order to be able to present content in a nice structure, I really need (want) this to get to work one way or another. To close the gap betweent my current situation / the desired one, here are my questions concerning (neat urls in general and) the zem_rewrite plugin in particular:
If I understood well, there are three tags that trigger the zem_rewrite plugin:
- (txp:zem_permlink)linktext(/txp:zem_permlink) – behaves like (txp:permlink)
- (txp:zem_sectionlink name=“section”) linktext(/txp:zem_sectionlink) – links to a section.
- (txp:zem_categorylink name=“category”)linktext(/txp:zem_categorylink) – links to a category
- are there any more attributes we need to add to these links? I remember I saw in a post some thing like (txp:zem_permlink scheme=“article”)?
- can we use these 3 tags everywhere, or maybe only in an article, a page or a form?
- do we need to do something to the ‘URL-only title’ in existing articles for them to work with zem_rewrite?
- is it still possible to use links from the link categories? If yes, how, if no, why?
Another thing: I read in zem’s topic on the plugin that you need to set permanent link mode to ‘clean’. I’m working with 1.0rc3 here, so I wonder, does that mean ANY of the clean urls modes? Or do I need to hack in some file somewhere and change something? What?
Needless to say, I am extremely impressed with Textpattern and I would love to work with it more effectively. Also needless to say is that (imhumbleo) the lack of proper built-in directory support seems to be the only thing that stands between the current Textpattern and the World Dominating Textpattern…
This might be a handy moment to display the diagnostics on my install:
Textpattern version: 1.0rc3
Document root: /home/ikontwer/public_html
$path_to_site: /home/ikontwer/public_html/admin
Textpattern path: /home/ikontwer/public_html/admin/textpattern

.htaccess file contents:
————————————
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
————————————
May The More Intelligent be with me!
Cheers to all, Maica

This is completely off-topic, sorry, but where do I find that kind of diagnostics?
I’d like some kind of fool proof solution too..

What version are you running (look near the bottom of any admin page)? Its a feature of RC3.
