Does Google Tap work under phpnuke 6.0?

Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2003 9:53 am

I have installed Google Tap on phpnuke and the links showed are :

http://www.technoparc.net/fr/viewlink-6.html

and one finds this phpnuke error right after the link in Weblinks->

Warning: setlocale(): Passing locale category name as string is deprecated. Use the LC_* -constants instead. in /home/technopa/public_html/fr/modules/Web_Links/index.php on line 743

If I repair the error by replacing the "LC_TIME" with LC_TIME in all occurences in the index.php, then I don't get this warning message any more, but the "html" google tap weblinks start to be defective and they show :

http://www.technoparc.net/fr/links.html&l_op=viewlink&cid=#

instead of

http://www.technoparc.net/fr/viewlink-#.html

Did anyone ever encountered this behaviour and/or know how to fix this condition? Or maybe somebody has got an idea as to what effect has the LC_TIME on Google Tap? Any idea or hint or suggestion would be helpful.

Thanks in advance

I dont know if google tap was ment to work in 6.0.

Your problem seems very unusual.

Hi you'll have to download GT 0.6.5 from the downloads section. It has the pre nuke 6.5 version.

The error has nothing to do with GT or Googlifier. You have to open the index.php and change everywhere

Code:

setlocale ("LC_TIME", "$locale")

to

Code:

setlocale (LC_TIME, $locale)

Yes I've seen it :

but the problem is that if I fix it the way you say, then the Google Tap Web links no longer work ... That's why I was asking of somdebody knows about the role LC_TIME in Google Tap ...

Your WebLinks are total mess because if the links.html

In 6.0 you don't have to shorten the WebLinks index.php

Every next link will be rewritten over and after the links.html

With all due respects, my web links are not a total mess since I have reinstalled phpnuke several time and reentered 4 weblinks and redone the same test over and over again. Always the same result :

- if I dont change the index.php to have the warning message disappear (i.e. if I leave the original phpnuke code as is without making corrections), web links are perfectly properly handled in the Google Tap Style ( ... html urls).

- the moment I make the swap from "LC_TIME" to LC_TIME in the index.php code, I get Google Tap problems.

Unless you meant something else (I noticed some words were probably missing in your phrase).

Thanks

By the way, what do you mean by "in phpnuke 6.0 you don't have to shorten the weblinks"?

What I meant was that you don't have to shorten

"xxx.com/module.php?name=Web_Links" to "links.html"

Remove the rewrite rule, and the two header.php instances and everything will bo all right. All the mess now is because of the links.html

I have no links.html

I made a correction that seems to work:

-> First, in the .htacces file :

I replaced

RewriteRule ^links.html bla bla

with

RewriteRule ^weblinks.html bla bla

-> Second, in the header.php file:

I replaced the last entry in the $urlout=array part of the code :

links.html

with

weblinks.html

it looks as though it's working.

Thanks

Then I have a question.

Regarding not using links.html, what would be the consequence of not rewriting modules.php?name=Web_links to links.html since you need an entry point for the bot to visit each link in the web links section. In other words, if one doesn't allow a *.html entry point, how will the bot be able to request the links since he would have only a query to do so? Presumably, Google doesn't like queries. Allso, I have been told that SE work their way through by "inspecting" (could call that parsing I guess) searched pages for *.html links and climbing through pages until a stop point.

So, is it reasonnable to worry about not being indexed because of this?

Thanks
