Hi,

I'm just doing a dry run of updating a 2.1.3 geeklog site to 2.2.2, and nearly everything is perfect, the static pages plugin has been bumped up from 1.6.9 to 1.7.3

The one issue I have is that I have url_rewrite turned on, and historically we'd have all the links to static pages formatted as:

/staticpages/index.php/22222222222222222

which now gives a 404 error. The following both work fine:

/index.php/page/22222222222222222
/staticpages/index.php?page=22222222222222222

but because we'll have a whole lot of existing pages in the first form indexed with google etc, I don't really want to have to change that throughout the site and have the search engines have to reindex it all etc

is this a bug? is there a quick fix?


thanks
Matt

digging a bit more, it looks like I have the same issue with links, eg

/links/portal.php/link/2222222222222222

no longer works, but both

/links/portal.php?what=link&item=2222222222222222
/index.php/links/portal/2222222222222222

do

They are working on Geeklog.net the way you want. For example:

https://www.geeklog.net/staticpages/index.php/about

So my guess it is either a Geeklog Configuration settings, URL Routing settings or maybe a htaccess issue.

Here are the docs:

https://www.geeklog.net/docs/english/config.html#url-rewrite

Geeklog.net Configuration settings are:

Enabled URL Rewrite: True
Enable URL Routing: Disabled

Maybe your URL Routing is enabled as when it is the default routing looks like

/index.php/page/22222222222222222

Hi Laugh,

thanks for the reply.

URL routing is enabled, but it was when I was running 2.1.3 too, and prior to updating to 2.2.2 urls of the forms

/staticpages/index.php/22222222222222222
/links/portal.php/link/2222222222222222

definitely worked fine, but now definitely don't. AFAICT mode_rewrite & .htaccess etc are the same for both sites.

I've updated links now, so will keep with the new URL styles and let the search engines re-index to pick up the new links


thanks again
Matt
