Search and News module questions

[Terabyte]

After long time of using cmsms, this is the first time I wanted to try out the News and Search modules. Unfortunately I run into problems/errors.

News:

How to I get SEO friendly links? I see no options or info in the module info. Is it standard or does it have to be tweaked in the code?


Search:

Adding {search} into the content works fine, but searching gives 500 error. I see in the admin background that statistics are updated at least. I have no clue where the 5000 error comes from.


Using: 1.7 version. Pretty links with ending .php .

More info = more help...

How are you doing pretty URLs, do you have hierarchy enabled?...

[Terabyte]

No, no hierarchy is used.

Code: Select all

$config['page_extension'] = '.php';
$config['use_hierarchy'] = false;

[Terabyte]

So I guess your point is that is hierarchy is set to true, News module will work? 
Tested and news SEO links are working just fine.


I guess only the 500 error for the search is left ...

A lot of modules will work with pretty url (key words to do search). Some info is here

News works now, but not the search ...

It is not clear enough, what you have already done. Post "/.htaccess", section "URL Settings" from "/config.php", link to your page and may be search result template to forum.

Thank you for trying to help me with this.

Although I decided today , after 4 years of using cmsms on 20 sites, to go and migrate all sites to Wordpress. Therefore more help on improving my current installations will not be neccessay.

Thank you anyway.
