The Complete Web_Links Tap

Posted: Sat Sep 27, 2003 11:46 pm

OK folks,
I was looking on bugs.nukecops.com and saw that there was a bug in the GT for the Web_Links module, after looking into it on my site I realized it was time to port the mod for everyone's use. I have fixed all major portions that did not work, to include:
Links within MostPopular
Links within TopRated
Links within NewLinks
Links within Details (Additional Details, Link Comments, Editor Review, Modify, Broken Link)
Allow users to rate from outside website
(more fixes, cant remember all)

This is what you need to do, hopefully this may get added to the GT distribution. [fingers crossed Very Happy

RewriteRule ^links.html links.html

Last but not least, you will have to edit one piece of the language file,
Open modules/Web_Links/lang-english.php (Change as needed)
Find:

Code:

define("_RATENOTE4","You can view a list of the <a href=\"links.html&l_op=TopRated\">Top Rated Resources</a>.");

Replace With:

Code:

define("_RATENOTE4","You can view a list of the <a href=\"links.html&l_op=TopRated\">Top Rated Resources</a>.");

That should do it, Hopes that helps some of you out. See ya around

I see what happened, GT converted all of my code to links.html instead of it being links.html. Zhen, there are problems with this! It makes it hard to patch fixes, is there a way to exlclude quotes from GT or something?

Posted: Thu Oct 02, 2003 1:15 am

it should be modules.php?name=(Web_Links) Take off the parenthesis, GT is converting it to the rewrite rule: I will post the .htaccess again, NOTE: Take out the parenthesis around Web_Links in the code below.

Code:

#WebLinks
RewriteRule ^viewlinkcomments-([0-9]+)-([[:punct:]/:\-\'(){}.&=_a-zA-Z0-9\ ]*).html modules.php?name=(Web_Links)&l_op=viewlinkcomments&lid=$1&ttitle=$2
RewriteRule ^viewlinkdetails-([0-9]+)-([[:punct:]/:\-\'(){}.&=_a-zA-Z0-9\ ]*).html modules.php?name=(Web_Links)&l_op=viewlinkdetails&lid=$1&ttitle=$2
RewriteRule ^vieweditorial-([0-9]+)-([[:punct:]/:\-\'(){}.&=_a-zA-Z0-9\ ]*).html modules.php?name=(Web_Links)&l_op=viewlinkeditorial&lid=$1&ttitle=$2
RewriteRule ^modifylink-([0-9]+).html modules.php?name=(Web_Links)&l_op=modifylinkrequest&lid=$1
RewriteRule ^brokenlink-([0-9]+).html modules.php?name=(Web_Links)&l_op=brokenlink&lid=$1
RewriteRule ^outsidelink-([0-9]+).html modules.php?name=(Web_Links)&l_op=outsidelinksetup&lid=$1
RewriteRule ^linkop-(MostPopular|TopRated)-([0-9]+)-(num|percent).html modules.php?name=(Web_Links)&l_op=$1&ratenum=$2&ratetype=$3
RewriteRule ^newlinks-([0-9]+).html modules.php\?name=(Web_Links)&l_op=NewLinks&newlinkshowdays=$1
RewriteRule ^linksnew-([0-9]+).html modules.php?op=modload&name=(Web_Links)&file=index&l_op=NewLinksDate&selectdate=$1
RewriteRule ^linkop-(AddLink|MostPopular|NewLinks|RandomLink|TopRated).html modules.php?op=modload&name=(Web_Links)&file=index&l_op=$1
RewriteRule ^ratelink-([0-9]*)-([[:punct:]/:\-\'(){}.&=_a-zA-Z0-9\ ]*).html modules.php?op=modload&name=(Web_Links)&file=index&l_op=ratelink&lid=$1&ttitle=$2
RewriteRule ^viewlink-([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=(Web_Links)&l_op=visit&lid=$1
RewriteRule ^links-([0-9]*)-([a-zA-Z0-9]*).html modules.php?name=(Web_Links)&file=index&l_op=viewlink&cid=$1&orderby=$2
RewriteRule ^links-([0-9]*)-([0-9]*)-([a-zA-Z0-9]*)-([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=(Web_Links)&file=index&l_op=viewlink&cid=$1&min=$2&orderby=$3&show=$4
RewriteRule ^link-([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=(Web_Links)&l_op=viewlink&cid=$1
RewriteRule ^links.html modules.php?name=(Web_Links)

Hopefully that works for you, is there any known way to resolve this from happening (Converting the code into google tapped URL's). I can only think of one, and that is to make google tap a per module project, it rewrites when the module is called because the rewrites are contained in that specific modules folder. That may also help to cut down on loading time? Anyone know if that is feasible?

Couldn't you use a HTML special character instead of the normal code when posting in the forum?

Then it would be displayed as normal by a web browser, but not be GT'd by this website.

i.e. the special character for W is W so lets try it out:

here is the normal code (this should be re-written to links.html by GT:

Code:

links.html

here is the special character code, which should not be rewritten:

Code:

modules.php?name=Web_Links

here's hoping...

Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2003 3:53 pm

Yes!!!!!

So just to re-iterate, instead of posting:

Code:

modules.php?name=Web_Links

which will be re-written, post:

Code:

modules.php?name=Web_Links

which will display as intended and allow people to copy your code and use it.

cheers

I installed the GT_Distro_10-22-03 today and found problems with Web links. Does that version still have the old .htaccess file in it?

Thanks for the info.

Same problem here. I used the 10-22 distro and installed it just last week. My web links are now broken. You can go there but no links or categories are listed.
