Email notifications and core SEF - urls incorrect?

Please fill up the following form to enjoy free support from our Team. No Support will be provided in case this form is not filled up!

1. Have you searched the forums and checked the documentation section for a solution?
yes
2. Please summarize your problem in a few lines.

I have jfusion set up to run phpbb3 in frameless mode, its working fine - using core SEF, no rewrite, with suffix added to URLs. The phpbb3 Jfusion plugin is writing URLs in this format :yourdomain.com/index.php/menu_name/filename.php/option1,value1/option2,value2 - the other way of writing the URLs doesn't seem to work properly on my setup.

Everything is fine, except that the notification emails are generated with the URLs in the other format: yourdomain.com/index.php/menu_name/filename.php?option1=value1&option2=value2

Which returns a 404 - component not found error on the server.

If this is not a config problem, can you suggest a way to modify the php code - i assume its created in something like "post.php" - (I'm guessing) and I would be able to hard code the email URLs there.

3. What steps will reproduce the problem?
setup as above?
4. What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would have expected to see URLs of the type in use by the system.

5. You must include a printout of the login checker in the JFusion component.

Not sure why the JFusion isn't rewriting these URLs, I assume it just doesn't look at functions_posting.php.

Anyhow, I did indeed replace the code:

Code: Select all

'U_FORUM'=> generate_board_url() . "/viewforum.$phpEx?f=$forum_id",
'U_TOPIC'   => generate_board_url() . "/viewtopic.$phpEx?f=$forum_id&t=$topic_id",
'U_NEWEST_POST'=> generate_board_url() . "/viewtopic.$phpEx?f=$forum_id&t=$topic_id&p=$post_id&e=$post_id",
'U_STOP_WATCHING_TOPIC'=> generate_board_url() . "/viewtopic.$phpEx?uid={$addr['user_id']}&f=$forum_id&t=$topic_id&unwatch=topic",
'U_STOP_WATCHING_FORUM'=> generate_board_url() . "/viewforum.$phpEx?uid={$addr['user_id']}&f=$forum_id&unwatch=forum",

with

Code: Select all

'U_FORUM'   => generate_board_url() . "/viewforum.$phpEx/f,$forum_id",
'U_TOPIC'   => generate_board_url() . "/viewtopic.$phpEx/f,$forum_id/t,$topic_id",
'U_NEWEST_POST'=> generate_board_url() . "/viewtopic.$phpEx/f,$forum_id/t,$topic_id/p,$post_id/e,$post_id",
'U_STOP_WATCHING_TOPIC'=> generate_board_url() . "/viewtopic.$phpEx/uid={$addr['user_id']}/f,$forum_id/t,$topic_id/unwatch,topic",
'U_STOP_WATCHING_FORUM'=> generate_board_url() . "/viewforum.$phpEx/uid={$addr['user_id']}/f,$forum_id/unwatch,forum",

I know its a bit crude compared to the idea behind Jfusion - automatically replacing sef URLs, but hey it works, so hope it helps. I just replaced the & with a / and = with a ,

[mariusvr]

Thats very strange as JFusion accepts both types of url regardless of what SEF setting you use in your jfusion plugin. For example the following urls both work:

http://www.jfusion.org/index.php/forums ... =39&t=4905

Can you post or PM me a link to the actual forum? This could be a bug and no hacks should be needed.

Thanks, Marius

I have the very same problem with phpBB3 and JFusion running on newest version. I get as link something that's half SEF and half not as described above.

link form mail:
http://www.mysterytwisterc3.org/index.php/de/forum/ucp.php?i=pm&folder=inbox

correct link:
http://www.mysterytwisterc3.org/index.php/de/forum/ucp.php/i,pm/folder,inbox

Maybe it's something with the Mod/Plugin Options of the phpbb Plugin?

[sammymcfly]

Still not a solution for this?

I've now adjusted the functions_privmsgs.php in the includes/ folder of phpBB3 to get a correct URL.

I had the same problem after an update that sammymcfly hat earlier (I administrate the site now). This time I needed to change the function "user_notification" in "functions_posting.php" on lines 1327-1331 to SEF-URLs.

I updated JFusion to the current version and tried everything but it doesn't seem to work (the old problem is still, that no SEF-URLs dont work, not even when turning SEF-mode off). If anyone has found a solution for this, please let me know.
