Title: Forum category-header links
Post by: Airborne328 on September 09, 2009, 05:30:08 PM
I was informed that this issue is a TP issue and not an SMF issue, so I hope I can get some help.

I have installed

smf v1.1.10
TinyPortal v1.0 beta 4

MODS
Hack's SB
Arcade

Now when one is browsing the forums, and they want to "say" go back to the forum index "main" page, they are for some ODD reason directed to home page.


Example:

   Combat Life Savers  Ã,» Combat Life Savers Gaming Forum Ã,» AA2 - AA3 General Public Ã,» [CLS] Server Section


When I or anyone clicks the underlined link above it takes them to the home page.


Did something get borked somewheres, maybe in one of the mod installs.?

Thanks for any tips or suggestions

On a normal forum, it would direct back to index.php#position, where position is a reference for how far down the page you have to go to get to the category heading.

But since TinyPortal hijacks the boardindex action, index.php#position no longer refers to the position on the page, because it now needs to be index.php?action=forum#position

I'd say it's a bug in TinyPortal and should be reported as such to them.



Thanks or any assistance

Link to your site? The second link in the linktree that you're pointing to should be the forum. Check your Load.php file and make sure the edits from the manual modification instructions have been applied. If so, I need to see your linktree in action by visiting your site.

Yes it should, however it takes the user to the home page, hence my problem.  Ill recheck the load.php

If you see that you file is indeed edited, please attach it. I'd like to look at it as well.

Ichbin,

I had a look at the site and I see a couple of issues.

When you click on "Combat Life Savers Gaming Forum" it seems the link takes you to http://www.combatlifesavers.us/index.php#143 instead of http://www.combatlifesavers.us/index.php?action=forum#143

The /index.php#143 is not standard notation and so it takes you to the FrontPage because the browser can't figure out that it should take you to /index.php?action=forum#143 instead.  Also, the Forum link in the linktree that should be between the FrontPage and /index.php?action=forum#143 is missing.  There should be a Forum link between the 2 that will take you to /index.php?action=forum

In other words the linktree should say ...
Combat Life Savers  Ã,» Forum Ã,» Combat Life Savers Gaming Forum Ã,» AA2 - AA3 General Public Ã,» [CLS] Server Section

It doesn't say that.  There has obviously been some edit of a file somewhere that has caused this

Yeah, that is why I have asked for the Load.php file. That is where the linktree edit by TinyPortal is done.

I put a default fresh copy in and it seemed to be the same although I could be wrong.

What can I search for within the Load.php that would have caused this.

Thanks

If that is the case, then your load.php file did not get altered. Which is why I asked you to attach it...
