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

june · 2005-08-08 16:52:11

Hi,

I know this plugin was not designed for RC5…but I just upgraded to RC5 and the plugin does not work well with it.

My links still work but after you click on the link and before you see the page the link takes you to, I very breifly see a white page with an error message referring to this plugin. The screen flashes too fast for me to copy the error message.

Does anyone else have this plugin working in RC 5?

thanks!

I have it working in RC5, per say, it didn’t work without the but I have my Permanent link mode set to /year/month/day/title and every type of url is working except what I have it set to???
Help!

June – Do you have your production status set to Live? Just a thought….

terry · 2005-08-08 23:33:39

I have mine set to /year/month/day/title as well.

starzabove · 2005-08-08 23:40:42

and all types of urls work?

terry · 2005-08-09 00:02:51

I only tried it on the URLs that I have set up.

terry · 2005-08-09 00:07:01

I switched to /section/title and it works.

starzabove · 2005-08-09 00:30:15

But then the /year/month/day/title urls don’t work, correct?

terry · 2005-08-09 00:31:03

Yes, that is correct.

I figured out that the error message on the white screen was refering to the sgb_error_documents plugin. I reinstalled that and I no longer get that white screen.

But with both of those plugins enabled things are still not working properly. But I think part of the problem is my events calendar.

sigh.

With the announcement of version 1.0 release, now would be a great time to update this plugin for RC5, which would mean it would be 1.0 ready. I depend on this plugin so much that I keep coming back here to see whether it’s playing nicely with the latest revisions before I upgrade my site to the latest. If only the development team would incorporate sungodbiff’s excellent plugin into the 1.0 release, I would be dancing for joy. In the meantime, I have built other sites that do not rely on any plugins until the development dust has settled. Alas, my flagship site will have to wait until this plugin is working.

Just tried this again after updating to RC5 – still get errors, still doesn’t work. :o(

The shame is that it means links to older articles no longer get redirected to the right place. Do I need to offer cheese to encourage this plugin to get updated?

Correcting the 404 response bug in Textpattern was listed as one of the major milestones on the Road to 1.0 (that is, when there actually used to be a public roadmap). Now, the roadmap is off-limits and I neither hear nor see any mention of it being fixed any time soon. To me, proper url handling by default is probably one of the most critical bugs in Txp at the moment and I’d like to hear a status report on this ticket.

Note: I’m not trying to start any 1.0 wars here, I’m just looking for a status update.

I finally got around to trying this out today, and like Jon, found it doesn’t work with RC5. Even with production status set to “live,” I get the following error at the head of the page:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘:’ in /home/photodude/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(429) : eval()’d code on line 16
The above errors were caused by the plugin:sgb_url_handler

I agree heartily with Andrew that proper url handling by default is a Big Deal. As far as I can tell now, the new URL schemes are most helpful to someone starting a new site, and pretty much useless to anyone upgrading who’d like to use a new URL scheme, without breaking every link that’s ever been given to them.

Link Rot is a cardinal sin. So, until there’s a workable way to redirect old schemes to new ones, I’m stuck with /section/id/title.

That’s precisely the reason why I haven’t switched url schemas since the new formats were made available.
