SEO URL Mod Messing up Categories and Browse links

[cathouse911]

UGH PLEASE HELP!
I ordered the SEO URL Friendly Mods and when I click on a classified picture or VIEW LISTING link it doesnt work!

The only thing that works correctly is the featured listings links. If I click on the featured listings its it opening up the ad.

If I click on any other links like categories or NEW LISTING...it opens it as
category.html with a 404 non exsistant error page.

Please help. I DID insert the .htaccess file info in properly as giving in the instructions.

Anyone know what this .svn file is though and how do I have three of them in my mod packet.

In my mod upload folder I have the Modules folder and also an .svn folder.

and INSIDE the modules I again have this .svn folder......

I have regenerated the mods and everything.

When I click on a CATEGORY subcategory link it messes up like this
/listing/103/.html

I wonder why it doesnt show properly...the indivuadual ads....

Any help would be super

is your web server running apache with mod_rewrite enabled?

[cathouse911]

Well i looked in my htaccess and i see that it only says Rewrite On

How do I turn on the mod_rewrite feature?

I forgot to mention that my ads listings are showing with the news ads FIRST. I edited the template file a while back...does this matter to the SEO URL Friendly access file?

Cause only my featured listings are showing...not not any subcategory ad links.


I had edited my template to show the NEW users FIRST about 5 months ago
(I used /kernal/listings.php

$pageNum = 1;
$options['sortfield']='dateadded';
$options['sortorder']='desc';
if(isset($_GET['page']))

The only listings that actually show with the new SEO mod are the ones from my homepage that are FEATURED listings.

All other listings in the subcategories show like:
http://www.mydomain.com/listing/374/.html

ALSO when I click on the BROWSE instead of it listing a hole bunch of ads like it usually does it list the CATEGORY selections...what happened?

This new mod isnt good... =(

Do u think its not working because of how I edited the listings.php file?

For starters, did your site already have a .htaccess file?

If it did, did you over write it with the one that came with the module or did you take the contents of the SEO mode .htaccess and add it into your existing .htaccess?

Im not sure if "Rewrite On" is a valid .htaccess directive with the latest version of apache, if thats even what your server is running.

What I recommend you do is contact you hosting company and ask them if they are running apache, do they have mod_rewrite loaded and what do you need to have in your .htaccess to use the mod rewrite feature.

Featured listings on the home page are created an displayed via a plugin, so its different than viewing the ads from a category view.

Changing the order in whih ads are displayed shouldnt effect the link to the ads.

THANKS a ton! I didnt know..so I guess I can look at some other methods now. That realy helped.
I have indeed before I even posted into this forum, checked with the server provider as I have a
private and dedicated server I did indeed as them regarding the mod_rewrite and they said that
I have it and that everything is fine.

I DID have a copy of htaccess already but nothing is major in it other than a few redirects...so I took the
redirects out completely and tried the file alone...and then I put it back and tried it with the SEO htaccess info
and then I also completely cancelled the redirects as well...still nothing! The redirects where from a subdomain so
I dont think it was mattering to much.

After all that is when I decided to write the forum and Eric for some help and assistance.

As far as the mod_rewrite do i need to add anything to my htaccess code, such as:
mod_rewrite = on

My code starts with:
RewriteEngine on

I have even tried removing this as well...and adding it back...still nothing...

He made some changes to the kernel/listings.php file and its working PERFECT NOW Thanks for everyones sugesstions...perhaps Eric will post how he fixed it.

Case close

Basically it was just a bug in the version you were running. It was later fixed and is part of the standard download now.
