Found a new bug, the LastPage multi-page link sends to a 404 error on my board


http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforum...hread1780.html (I've replaced my board URL with daniweb)


I double checked the .htaccess. Which template must I check to resolve this bug?

Thanks for your help thus far.

It's supposed to be lastpostinthread, not lastposttothread. DaniWeb doesn't seem to be experiencing this problem? Can you confirm that DaniWeb has the same bug? I'm not sure why it's doing what it's doing, but this should eliminate the problem:

To fix it, in functions.php:

Replace
[php]
'#<a ([^>]*)href' . preg_quote("=\"showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=") . '([0-9]+)' . preg_quote("&amp;goto="). '([a-z]+)"#',[/php]
with
[php]
'#<a ([^>]*)href' . preg_quote("=\"showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=") . '([0-9]+)' . preg_quote("&amp;goto=next"). '([a-z]+)"#',[/php]

Also, replace
[php]'<a \1href="\3tothread\2.html"', [/php]
with
[php]'<a \1href="next\3tothread\2.html"', [/php]

I have edited the first post to reflect this change.

Great thread. Has 3.5.1 been confirmed to work with this? (vs. 3.5)

The hack works fine, yet would it be possible to change to ‘forum1 and post1’ into ‘forum title and post title’?

Thanks.

We wanted to make sure that we understand how to correctly install this hack in 3.5.1 before we blow something up :mrgreen:

First we make the .htaccess file, and then we find this code in the includes/functions.php file:

function print_output($vartext, $sendheader = true)
{
global $pagestarttime, $querytime, $vbulletin;
global $vbphrase, $stylevar;

and then we add this below it:

// do Dani's SEO optimization
global $session;

$search_array = array(
'#<a ([^>]*)href' . preg_quote("=\"forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=") . '([0-9]+)' . preg_quote("&amp;page=") . '([0-9]+)' . preg_quote("&amp;sort=") . '([a-z]*)' . preg_quote("&amp;order="). '([a-z]*)' . preg_quote("&amp;pp=") . '([0-9]*)' . preg_quote("&amp;daysprune="). '([^"]*)"#',
'#<a ([^>]*)href' . preg_quote("=\"forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=") . '([0-9]+)' . preg_quote("&amp;daysprune=") . '([^"^&]*)' . preg_quote("&amp;order=") . '([a-z]*)' . preg_quote("&amp;sort=") . '([a-z]*)"#',
'#<a ([^>]*)href' . preg_quote("=\"forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=") . '([0-9]+)' . preg_quote("&amp;daysprune="). '([^"^&]*)"#',
'#<a ([^>]*)href' . preg_quote("=\"forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=") . '([0-9]+)' . preg_quote("&amp;page=") . '([0-9]+)"#',

// other
'#<a ([^>]*)href' . preg_quote("=\"search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&amp;f=") . '([0-9]*)"#',
'#<a ([^>]*)href' . preg_quote("=\"search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily") . '"#',
'#<a ([^>]*)href' . preg_quote("=\"search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=process&amp;replyless=1&amp;replylimit=0&amp;dontcache=1&amp;forumchoice=&amp;childforums=1") . '"#',

);
$replace_array = array(
'<a \1href="forum\2-\3-\4-\5-\6-\7.html"',
'<a \1href="forum\2-\3-\4-\5.html"',
'<a \1href="forum\2-\3.html"',

'<a \1href="printthread\2.html"',
'<a \1href="sendthread\2.html"',
'<a \1href="next\3tothread\2.html"', 
'<a \1href="post\2.html"', 
'<a \1href="post\2-\3-\4.html"', 
'<a \1href="post\2-\3.html"', 
'<a \1href="thread\3-\2.html"', 
'<a \1href="post\2-\3.html#', 

'<a \1href="announcement\2-\3.html"',
'<a \1href="announcement\2.html"',

// sanitizing
'<a \1href="\2-\3.html"',
'<a \1href="\2-\3.html"',

// other
'<a \1href="getdaily\2.html"',
'<a \1href="getdaily.html"',
'<a \1href="unanswered.html"',
'<a \1href="unanswered\2.html"'

);
$vartext = preg_replace($search_array, $replace_array, $vartext);

Is that correct

Thank you.

Yes. Doing is that way is guaranteed to work.

The second way is to use hooks, but no one has yet confirmed that my hooks method works.

DaniWeb website works smoothly. The code you've provided, I could not find it on functions.php file for version 3.0.3.

Hmm...

Kwak,

The lines that I asked you to replace (in post #13) to fix the lastpostinthread bug are located within the code that you were supposed to add to functions.php in the original tutorial. They aren't naturally in functions.php

Thanks once again. The last page link works (not in .html) perfectly.
