Help with ShortLinks

Hi,

Can you please tell me how to tap this url.

Code:

http://www.mysite.com/modules.php?name=Video_Stream&page=browse&d=1

Next Page will be
http://www.mysite.com/modules.php?name=Video_Stream&page=browse&d=2

each page will change browse&d=("number+1")

what do i have to add to .htaccess and GT page. i got all the other urls to work in this module except for this.

thanks you in advance.

you might have to post what you have so far, as there could be some conflicts that need fixin'. I did a quick search for the video stream module, and found several sites using it, but none of them had links that looked like that.

a link to the untapped module, or a download for it would help too.

This is a modified version. so here is the links

http://nuketest.myspace-it.com/modules.php?name=Video_Stream

and for the browse page

http://nuketest.myspace-it.com/modules.php?name=Video_Stream&page=browse

Code

.htaccess

Code:

"'RewriteRule ^videostream.html modules.php?name=Video_Stream
RewriteRule ^videostream-([a-z]*).html modules.php?name=Video_Stream&page=$1
RewriteRule ^videostream-([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=Video_Stream&d=$1
RewriteRule ^videostream-([a-z]*)-([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=Video_Stream&page=$1&id=$2
RewriteRule ^videostream-browse-([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=Video_Stream&page=browse&d=$1

Code:

for next page code is

for Previous Page code is

any help is appreciated.

#1) your .htaccess file should only have lines with "&", not "&". The GT script should only have "&" in them, not "&".

#2) you need a rule with page AND d in it and it must come ahead of the rule that juast has page in it.

thank you sir. so is this correct

.htaccess

Code:

RewriteRule ^videostream.html modules.php?name=Video_Stream
RewriteRule ^videostream-([a-z]*).html modules.php?name=Video_Stream&page=$1
RewriteRule ^videostream-([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=Video_Stream&d=$1

I was working on this a little, tried to register on your test site as I don't think i can see all the links.. if you can activate my acct Wink

Newbie Joined: Sep 05, 2007 Posts: 68

well this is what i have so far, no guarantees it will work as I can't test it... it also excludes the "rate" link because I can't see it or tell how it is formatted by your examples.

the $urlin and $urlout

Code:

$urlin = array(
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Video_Stream&page=search&search=user:([a-zA-Z0-9_-]*)"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Video_Stream&page=search&d=([0-9]*)"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Video_Stream&page=search"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Video_Stream&page=broken&id=([0-9]*)&vidname=([/:\-\'{}()\,\._&a-zA-Z0-9+= ]*)"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Video_Stream&page=watch&id=([0-9]*)"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Video_Stream&page=browse&d=([0-9]*)"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Video_Stream&page=browse"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Video_Stream&categoryby=([0-9]*)"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Video_Stream"'
);

$urlout = array(
'videostream-searchuser-\\1.html',
'videostream-search-\\1.html',
'videostream-search.html',
'videostream-broken-\\1-\\2.html',
'videostream-watch-\\1.html',
'videostream-browse-\\1.html',
'videostream-browse.html',
'videostream-category-\\1.html',
'videostream.html'
);

and htaccess

Code:

#Video Stream
RewriteRule ^videostream-searchuser-([a-zA-Z0-9_-]*).html modules.php?name=Video_Stream&page=search&search=user:$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^videostream-search-([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=Video_Stream&page=search&d=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^videostream-search.html modules.php?name=Video_Stream&page=search [L]
RewriteRule ^videostream-broken-([0-9]*)-([/:\-\'{}()\,\._&a-zA-Z0-9+=\ ]*).html modules.php?name=Video_Stream&page=broken&id=$1&vidname=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^videostream-watch-([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=Video_Stream&page=watch&id=$1 [L]

Newbie Joined: Sep 05, 2007 Posts: 68

found some more urls that need tapping, give me a few... in the meantime, i did notice a formatting error on the module index for searching user(s)

Code:

(need to remove that backslash)

also noticed that the thumbnail links in the random videos block are formated like
modules.php?name=Video_Stream&page=watch&id=8&d=
and the text link right next to it is formatted
modules.php?name=Video_Stream&page=watch&id=8

(remove the empty d= from the thumbnail, or fix what was supposed to be inserted there)

ok here's the updated version

the $urlin and $urlout

Code:

$urlin = array(
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Video_Stream&page=search&search=user:([a-zA-Z0-9_-]*)"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Video_Stream&page=search&d=([0-9]*)"',

'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Video_Stream&page=watch&id=([0-9]*)&d=([0-9]*)"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Video_Stream&page=watch&id=([0-9]*)"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Video_Stream&page=send&id=([0-9]*)"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Video_Stream&page=rate&id=([0-9]*)&rate=([0-9]*)"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Video_Stream&page=vidpop&id=([0-9]*)"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Video_Stream&page=browse&d=([0-9]*)"',

'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Video_Stream&categoryby=([0-9]*)"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Video_Stream"'
);

$urlout = array(
'videostream-searchuser-\\1.html',
'videostream-search-\\1.html',
'videostream-search.html',
'videostream-broken-\\1-\\2.html',
'videostream-comment-moderate-\\1-\\2.html',
'videostream-watch-\\1-page\\2.html',
'videostream-watch-\\1.html',
'videostream-send-\\1.html',
'videostream-rate-\\1-rating\\2.html',
'videostream-vidpop-\\1.html',
'videostream-browse-\\1.html',
'videostream-browse.html',
'videostream-category-\\1.html',
'videostream.html'
);

and htaccess

Code:

#Video Stream
RewriteRule ^videostream-searchuser-([a-zA-Z0-9_-]*).html modules.php?name=Video_Stream&page=search&search=user:$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^videostream-search-([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=Video_Stream&page=search&d=$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^videostream-broken-([0-9]*)-([/:\-\'{}()\,\._&a-zA-Z0-9+=\ ]*).html modules.php?name=Video_Stream&page=broken&id=$1&vidname=$2 [L]

RewriteRule ^videostream-category-([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=Video_Stream&categoryby=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^videostream.html modules.php?name=Video_Stream [L]

as for the problem with the user search link, i did not change yet, as I wasn't sure if it was related to the aforementioned problem with the link formatting. It may be related to the use of a colon in the URL, not sure I handled that correctly. (montego? the first rewrite..)

cool it's working better, we will get there... lol

I don't have much time today, but I'll give you a couple things to checkout.. Those links are generated by javascript, so you may need to make some edits to the module to use the shortlink url in the JS.

example before (from modules/Video_Stream/javascript.php)

Code:

function loadsend(id) {
window.open('modules.php?name=Video_Stream&page=send&id='+id+'','','scrollbars=no,menubar=no,height=240,width=200,resizable=no,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no');
}

try changing to

Code:

function loadsend(id) {
window.open('videostream-send-'+id+'.html','','scrollbars=no,menubar=no,height=240,width=200,resizable=no,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no');
}

If you look at the page source you can see shortlinks is butchering some of the js links atm. There are others that need a fixin on several pages of the module, just follow the same logic (assuming it fixes the issue) only fixing what is broken Smile

also noticed on the comments link part of the argument is missing, there shouldn't be "undefined" in the URL, the script is expecting a number

if you look at the loadcomment function
(from modules/Video_Stream/javascript.php)

Code:

function loadcomment(id, modcom) {
window.open('modules.php?name=Video_Stream&page=comment&moderateVS='+modcom+'&id='+id+'','','scrollbars=no,menubar=no,height=250,width=500,resizable=no,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no');
}

you can see it is expecting "modcom" as part of the argument. But when it is called from modules/Video_Stream/watch.php

Code:

only the id is provided.... that is why "undefined" appears in the URL... find out what the different modcom settings mean (i think it may be used for edit/delete/creation of comment), and ideally insert the correct value there Smile
