CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello CMSMS friends,

cmsms1.5.2
mysql4
php4.1.xx

We've put a lot of work into our website and it works great at the moment:

http://www.tmsap.com

If I enable the internal pretty urls or mod_rewrite (with .htaccess modifications) I get a javascript error: "object expected" and the CSS drop down menus won't expand anymore.

Question:
Are pretty-url:s supposed to work with a dynamic CSS menu, or am I asking for too much?

Kind regards
Eric

I think your php version might be the problem.

check http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... quirements

Thanks Rolf, but even after changing to PHP 5.2.3 we get the same javascript error.

That is a pretty broad error description. Please be more specific and be sure to iindicate which file and line it is relating too. If you want us to help you I would also suggest turning Pretty URLS on so we can see it in action.

Hi again,

I'd like to show you a live example, but the site is live so if I enable mod_rewrite/pretty url:s the menu will break and visitors can't navigate the site.

http://www.tmsap.com

Is there any other information I should post to aid in the trouble shooting process?

Here are my rewrite rules:


Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

# 301 Redirect all requests that don't contain a dot or trailing slash to
# include a trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.
RewriteRule ^(.*) %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]

# Rewrites urls in the form of /parent/child/
# but only rewrites if the requested URL is not a file or directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]

I think I solved it myself by doing the following AFTER enabling mod_rewrite:

1) mod_rewrite somehow broke my image-preload script, so I disabled this script and removed the onload=... from

2) I had to replace with
>

this however, broke the menus completely in IE8 (stil looked good in FF 3.x though), so now the site has to be viewed using IE8's compatibilty mode.
