$16 to Anyone That Can Solve My Friendly Url Problem

[canadianguy33]

Hello pliggers!

I've got $16 Canadian in my paypal account for anyone that can get my friendly urls working. lol

I know $16 isn't a lot but that's all I have in my paypal account at the moment. If you know the secret to getting the friendly urls working and you share that secret with me I'll give you a whopping $16 and my gratitude.

Here's my .htaccess:

##### Friendly URLs End #####

Here's what I have in my config.php:

// URL Method
// change both lines below
$URLMethod = 1;
define('urlmethod', $URLMethod);
//1 = original method -- 2 = /story/25/ method.
// ---

// Friendly URL's for stories
define('enable_friendly_urls', true);
// ---

As far as I know these are the only files I'm supposed to change to enable friend urls, is that correct?

Could the problem be that one of my categories has an exclamation point in it?

Thanks,

Jay

Jay,

First of all, the config.php file you are using is old. It did not come with rev. 138 (nightly build). Therefore, it will not get you what you want.

Maybe you posted the wrong information?

Anyway, here is my info which you can use an example:

// URL Method
// change both lines below
$URLMethod = 2;
define('urlmethod', 2);
//1 = original method --
//2 = /story/25/ method.
//3 = I want URLMethod=2, but it gives me errors (search, login, submit, tagcloud).
// Let the MB hacks try to solve those problems and still have URLMethod=2

// ---

Friendly URL's sorta work using urlmethod=2 OR '3', but some things are still broken, like clicking on a category link in 'queued news' or editing a comment. Both of those items are broken and have been reported to Ashdigg as bugs.

BTW, thanks reporting on script.aculo.us.

Hey 3d thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, it's still not working. Any ideas? I have B7.2 installed.
