[Solved] url rewriting not active in menus

[maomaohuhu]

Hi all, I have searched the forum with no luck.

Here is the situation: the "apache side" of url rewriting works. mod_rewrite is active, .htaccess works fine , as you can see with this re-written url : http://www.pmr-parador.be/entreprises.html

But the "CMSMS side" fails. The links in the menus still show a raw url , as you can see in the menu ( same link as above ).

I went by the doc here: http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... ty_URL.27s

$config['url_rewriting'] = 'mod_rewrite';
$config['page_extension'] = '.html';
$config['use_hierarchy'] = true;
$config['query_var'] = 'page';

I have cleared the cache in the admin - many times  :P

I see a {metadata} in the "gabarit" ( not sure what the naming convention is is english..... global layout maybe ? )

Version on CMSMS is 1.6.5

Since I have no previous experience with CMSMS, I am stuck at this point.

Help or direction would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks

this is a little odd, what so you system info say?  also update to 1.6.6 too.. can you show us you .htaccess code... cheers Jeremy

Hard coded or cms selflink or any other non menu manager menus are not going to be effected by mod_rewrite .htaccess...

[JeremyBASS]

FWIW I know cms selflink link have converted for me... ... are they not suppost to 

[Dr.CSS]

They should but it is acting like a link made by tiny that acts like hard coded links, the other advantage to using a menu manager template is getting the page active for links to style them different...

thanks for the answer.

here is the htaccess:

Code: Select all

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  	Options +FollowSymLinks
	RewriteEngine on
	RewriteBase /

	
  	# Redirection 301 de toutes les demandes qui ne contiennent 
	# pas un point ou un slash
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.
	RewriteRule ^(.*) %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
	
	# Régles de réécriture pour la forme /parent/enfant/
	# mais réécrit seulement si l'URL demandée n'est pas un fichier ou un répertoire
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
	RewriteRule ^(.+).html$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]

</Ifmodule>

here is parts of the system info:

Code: Select all

process_whole_template:

assume_mod_rewrite:

true

page_extension:

.html

internal_pretty_urls:

false

use_hierarchy:

true

debug:

false

output_compression:

false

Looking back at this, I guess the "internal_pretty_urls: false " stands out... But as far as I understand, it is the regular setting when mod_rewrite is used , am I wrong ?

here is the config.php settings:

Code: Select all

$config['url_rewriting'] = 'mod_rewrite';

$config['page_extension'] = '.html';

$config['use_hierarchy'] = true;

$config['query_var'] = 'page';

For now, I would prefer not to upgrade to 1.6.6. This doesn't look like a version issue does it ... As I mentionned, I don't have any experience with CMSMS. It is not even my website, I was just asked to fix this bug. So I would prefer not to change things if it is not necessary...

Please check first if the pages you see in your menu are placed there with the {menu} tag or are hardcoded... I do think that you have coded page-calls there, and they are NOT taken then in the url-rewrite.

That's my opinion too.

OKKKK, indeed the links were hardcoded !

I had thought about this from the start, but I was mislead because I was looking at the wrong template. ( I still don't understand where are the settings that tells which template is used ).
I thought the "default template" was used, but by comparing the templates and the rendered code, I found the template used was different, and indeed, the links were hard-coded in that one !

Thanks Ronny, and thanks to all of you of you for the help !

To see what template is used. Click Content -> Pages, the column next to the name of the page shows the template used for that page.... While editing a page, the options-tab is the place to attach another template to the page.
