Title: Forum Menu Differences and Broken Images
Post by: wildcard on October 14, 2008, 07:36:36 AM
Ok, I'm not an SMF or TP expert by any means so this is stumping the heck outta me.  What would cause menu links to have the following differences for the same action?

domain.url/index.php?action=forum

and

domain.url/index.php/action,forum.html

The problem I'm having, is with pages being called with the latter link, all of the images are trying to be called from domain.url/index.php/images/... instead of just domain.url/images/...

I assume this is a TP issue, since the forums I have NOT running TP don't experience this issue.  If that assumption is incorrect, please forgive my inexperience. :)  Any help anyone can provide is GREATLY appreciated.  Thanks!

Edit to add:
I'm running SMF 1.1.5 and TP 1.0.5b1 on the site having this issue.

Eather you have a mod called SEO ( that changes the output for the url within your site ) or you have some funny things going on  :D

Please read the Posting Guidelines.html (http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php/topic,581)

Link to my site: http://dustoflife.extremesims.com
SMF version: 1.1.6
TP version: 1.05 b1
Theme name and version: The Risen: WOTLK (http://www.therisenguild.net/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item3)
Mods installed: WoW-Itemstats 1.25.9.2, Show Multiple Badges (Aka Stars), TinyPortal 1.05b1
Related Error messages: No error message, but here's what happens...

The front page displays properly, no broken links.  If I click on FORUM, it uses the url of http://dustoflife.extremesims.com/index.php/action,forum.html and when I navigate there, a bunch of the images are broken, all of them TP images (TPdivider2.gif and TPedit2.gif, for instance).  When I right click on the broken image graphic the location it SHOULD be looking for the file is http://dustoflife.extremesims.com/Themes/The_Risen_WOTLK/images/tinyportal//TPedit2.gif , but where it actually is trying to call the graphic from is http://dustoflife.extremesims.com/index.php/Themes/The_Risen_WOTLK/images/tinyportal//TPdivider2.gif , inserting that random .../index.php/... in there.  Also, any graphics on any of the TPadmin screens exclusive to TP do not display.

Doing some further research had led me to think it might be a combination of TP plus the current theme, but if I go to the author's site, all of his menu links use the standard ...index.php?action=... format rather than the .../index.php/action,*.html format.  So I have no idea why my site is using a different menu link format.  Also, as I hover over the menus here on TP.net, I notice the latter types of links, but all images display, and I just get more confused as to why mine aren't working. :)  So I hope this is enough info.  Let me know if you need to know anything else.

Edit: Love the new personal title, btw.  TP Challenged indeed.

Still missed to apply the answers wee need from you
What is your setup, what mods do you have installed there ?
Search friendly url ( SEO ) is on my mind when i see your urls posted.
That mod conflicts with a lot of things

Woah, reading your reply again and seeing your reference to "Search Friendly URL" triggered in my brain and I remembered the SMF setting in Basic Features.  Thank you SO MUCH!  Turning that off has resolved all of the broken image issues.  And again, I apologize for my noobocity. :)
